Ha ha!
Daniel, you know I've got extra pistons lying around.
PM me you address and I'll send you a couple. I'll make sure to include one with some battle scars beat into it

Hey, I've got 9 whole pistons (or maybe only 8 and a 1/2), I could make ash trays out of all of them and put them to good use

who wants one!

 

[VIPER BAZ UK]

the metal "V" at the botom of the windshield has to come off to fit the Roe in there.

GL, looks good!

 

[ViperTony]

Crank bolt out and timingchain cover now removed....

Baz...how difficult was it to remove the crank bolt? Did you use/fabricate any specialized tools for that procedure besides brute strength?

Looks great BAZ! I just fired-up my deflowered creampuff for the first time yesterday. So far so good. The ROE Diamond forged pistons seem to be just fine! Now have to work on the tuning for the 10 lb ROE.

 

[DAMN YANKEE]

My goodness, now THAT is going to be one great looking engine!

Adding the fuel pressure gauge?
What airbox?
What puke tank?
Where is the VEC going and are you going to cover it?

Oh yes, I didn't see the "Baster Fink" picture on the wall...Baz???

Time to pull the gearbox out then.....

 

[plumcrazy]

its never easy Baz.....hang in there.

looking good !!!

 

[DodgeViper01]

Wow Baz, I knew you were handy but WOW! Congrats on the install. I guess if you own a Viper in Europe, you have to be somewhat handy! Good work!

By the way, great job calling us at the meeting. That was a real surprise! Dimitrios and you had me cracking up!

Going back a few steps... It looked as though the radiator was removed to allow removal of the camshaft. I've read that the cam can be removed with the radiator in place if the motor mounts are unbolted and the engine tilted up. Is it kind of a wash relative to the amount of effort (motor mounts vs radiator)?
I'm asking since I'm undertaking a heads/cam swap this spring.
Thanks.

 

[plumcrazy]

radiator is pretty easy to remove

 

[RobZilla]

Obviously a cam change would be much simpler without removing the radiator. You wouldnt have to then go back and flush the lines of bubbles and the headache that goes along with that... So can a cam change be done without removing the radiator???

 

[VIPER BAZ UK]

Radiator stayed in for me...... Just disconected the engine mounts and droped the back of the trasmission...

 

[mnviper]

Baz, Thanks for the information. I'll give that a try.
