rich101 Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Hey all, I've got quite a few bits off my car that are now for sale, the car has done approx 12500miles since this was all fitted. 1.7 Vulcan Crossflow 135bhp version smokes slightly on startup in the typical valve guide seal way, and also needs the lower alternator bolt hole re-tapping or some other arrangement. Other than that it was a good runner with no problems. (Ian/7SE has first dibs on this if still interested??) Type 9 5speed box Twin Weber 40s with manifolds for the above engine Full Stainless system (4-1) for the above engine The starter motor and alternator are also available, along with a few other ancillaries, I'm open to offers for all of it...... Have got pictures/video (with sound! ) of it in the car which I can email if anyone wants. Rich
Rob Navin Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Intrested in the engine. Please give me a ring on 07984 164184 Rob
Terry Everall Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Will a car with twin crosflows be as quick as 2 bike engines ?
rich101 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 Hi Rob, Have just spoken to Vulcan and they told me the details of my engine are the same as the one that they still do. one quick copy and paste later! The basic 110bhp - 'Blocks are bored and honed to use Hepolite +0.090” pistons' 'Big valve ‘Maxiflow 1’ head using 1.625” inlet valves, 1.340” exhaust, extra strong single springs.' 135 version has onto of the 110 'Kent 234 Camshaft and modified pistons for an increased compression ratio' 'Uses our Maxiflow1A head' which as far as I can tell just has double valve springs instead of single. I'll double check the head this weekend that it does have the double springs, if so then it's a sign it is the same. Think that covers it??? Rich
DickieB Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Rich What are the other odds and sods that you are selling? Dickie
rich101 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 Dickie Urm erm, not too sure off the top of my head - it's all back at my parents house. Depending on what other people want but there's the alternator/starter motor/fuel reg and erm some other bits I think!! I'm still in the process of taking things off, but at some point in the not too distant future there'll be the diff/driveshafts/radiator aswell. Was it anything in particular you were after? Rich
DickieB Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Not after anything in particular, but always on the lookout for spare bits for my car!
rich101 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 Oh yes! I know what you mean - I've got a fine collection of parts for my normal car!
Andoid Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Hi Rich, Interested in the 4-1 stainless if you still have it. 07762 578668 Andy
rich101 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 Hi Andy, Yeah the stainless is still available - think I was a bit hopeful on it's value to start with! I'm open to offers....... Rich
