What you will find here: Intended to display minor modifications to my Westfield SEi, this blog now witnesses the two year rebuild (and more) after a major crash in October 2011. Have fun and feel free to add a comment at the end of any post.

Biiiig exhaust gaskets

Compared with the normal gaskets between the exhaust manifold and the cylinderhead, those from Vulcan Engines are five times fatter. The other thing they do different is the fixing. Whereas originally stud bolts come out of from the head, the manifold is now fixed with Allen head bolts. Except for one (middle right) which I had to change for a hex head due to limited access.
Prior to assembly I recut the threads to prevent the new bolts from biting too much into the head.
Cheers.
