I used a set of NGK from a Z car to go around the front of the valve cover. 2 Quote Link to comment

I threw a thin Apex HG on the block, plopped the head on, and checked valve clearance on #1 after setting the lash and timing all up. Good news is I didn’t have any contact, but I still want to check it with some playdoh or something to see how much I really have. That is a bad ass oil pan were in the hell did you get it from. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Does anybody here run OER carbs? They seem to be good enough, and they are rather inexpensive. I know Rebello started using them once the MIkuni supply dried up. I believe the also use common jets and such, from Weber maybe? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Don’t know. The other other option is Dellorto. 1 Quote Link to comment

Ive been looking into them a bit since Mikunis are stupid expensive now... Supposedly the best of both worlds, more tunability like the Webers (and I think can run most of the Weber jets), but has the reliability or should a say stability of Mikunis in their ability to hold a tune. There are a few builds floating around with them, but really not much info. I think Redline sold them for a little bit, but now it seems you need to get them straight from Japan... If I find myself a 2 door 510 and do another carb KA swap I may run them since I wont be ponying up for Mikunis... Although I am also interested in running the Mikuni HSR bike carbs. I think one of the biggest advantages for Webers is just the availability and knowledge out there around them - with Pierce and Redline supplying them and who know how many mechanics (backyard and professional) that know how they work- there is just so much info. But I am partial to Mikunis - both from an ease of use (so far) and just an appearance standpoint. 2 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Starting to change out jets and venturis to get a baseline. These full radius stacks are killer. 4 Quote Link to comment

Realistically, for that to happen, I’d have to take some time off from work. I’ve been hitting little snags here and there that need to be ironed out.

banzai510(hainz) Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) buy a few spare head gaskets while you still can get them!!! this is me but I would make a small hole for water to pass thru the head. I didnt know those head gaskets pluged the hole. My las head gasket change was just at that spot it was leaking water there. the head has electroyist and hole is oblong( getting bigger)and the Felpro gasket died. Put a graphit gasket on and been ok for a few years now but needs to get fixed if ever apart again(ezer to just put another head on for me to keep it running. As im to lazy to drive into Seattle to the machine shop to get it done and wait months OER? somebody said a long time ago they Japanesemade but use weber jetting Edited March 22, 2021 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I looked up the OER's yesterday. They're no cheaper than Webers. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Throw those Webers in the garbage, get some Mikunis. OER castings are junk but yes they work, Mikunis are set it and forget it and Webers always need adjustments. Me ITB's are the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment
