Hi bluebox

I need some help to adjust my valves (timing) on my car, do you have some pictures or information how to do it.

It´s like your car with BMW head,

Thank you Sincerely

In the mid 80,s at a mini meet in Quebec , we where shown two head gaskets .One was a A series and the other a BMW bike head gasket. I believe this was the fellow that built the 850 twink. Much later my childhood dream of having a twin cam mini started to come true when we lucked into a stash of RS K heads. Now having a brilliant motor builder(Don Sobering) for a best friend is what is needed to put the whole job together. Don could have built one of his 151 hp 5 port motors but that wouldnt have been a streetable motor. The best off shore motor around here was $10,000 landed. I value my motor at $15,000 because of the SC drop gears and SC CR gear box Extra layshaft bearing and cross pin diff. Is 135 hp enough? you bet! This thing spools up the revs real quick,and this motor is NA. The WOW effect when I open the hood is so cool.I couldn,t be happier. When I mocked up the motor I found that the corner of the motor did hit the hood. So I bought a KAD glass hood,no problems. Some people want to hide the motor,as if it was a sleeper. Move on!!!! Would I do it again? It was a huge job and everything had to be built or modified,so the answer would be no! I now have my dream mini. Many Thanks Don.

and sold!

Offers?

My 14 year old built a lego prototype of using this motor in the front of my exige, so somebody buy it before we make a twinixige!

 

The "secret", is to use the head from the BMW "K" motorbike and modify the internal bracing to clear the offending corner of the head. Not exactly rocket science. I don't know why there is all this confusion and disagreements about this. 

So, once more - just for fun:

 

 

A local hot rod shop had offered to do a speed blister for $700 with paint, so I was keeping that in my back pocket if I needed it.

Not sure if it was for a Twinky but someone on this board pocketed the engine mounts to make it sit lower in the sub frame, someone else spoke of using the wider auto subby. Come to think of it it may have been for a Sprint car replica but same theory.

would like to know the secret to getting the engine to fit w/o altering the bonnet.the valve cover hits the bonnet.

Plenty have fitted them without any bonnet bulge, in fact, I don't recall anyon who has fitted it and needed a modification to the outer face of the bonnet.

Fiberglass Bonnet bulge 

will this engine fit without having to do any modifications so that it will clear the bonnet? i hear that the valve cover hits the bonnet even when one removes the cross bar member inside the bonnet.S/C claims it is a simply drop in. what info do you have about this that you can share?

ok, new deal. Buy this special logo I got from the UK for $9500, I'll throw in the engine, shipped.

Tremendous deal for someone, wish I had the time and money!

Got an offer pending some negotiating, anyone waiting on the sidelines, speak up now

Hello, as far as any fabrications that have to be done to the engine bay compartment, there is nothing that will have to be altered. any fabrication would be for the radiator mount and wiring can go thru existing empty grommet holes.with this being said any work done for the 16v will not harm the engine bat so if one wish at a future date decide to go back to originality, no problem and no body work or painting involve. the only modification that is need is to do some work on the inner lid of the bonnet to accommodate for the height of the valve cover. i have done my homework because i too have a 16v twin cam engine/tranny from SC that i am going to drop into my inno someday if i get the time, unless i get some crazy offer on mine that will persuad me to change my mine. as far as the products from SC, their products are excellent and if you want something special, think about it. you live only once.

For sure.

Good luck with sale.
