cheers Lapider, defo go for the cam change when you do it, most peole will say the best way to get the most out of a better cylinder is change the cam

will finish it tommorow then start it for first time saturday

[twrminisport]

Look's good

But i would like a number to go with it

[PhilipGCaldwell]

well after a bit of fettling... IT RUNS

couldnt get it going at first, after a bit of headscratching, i realised i had the wiring on the coil wrong, and the HT leads on the wrong sparkers

got loads of bits to finish off, exhaust to refit etc etc

its very loud (prob because exhaust isnt all on yet) and on idle it is pretty lumpy, it is a 276 though so i was expecting this abit

one step closer to the rollers

[twrminisport]

Good. Post up a video once its all together (exhaust and all) and ill have a listen

It will be abit lumpy with your cam and head but it should iron out a little when the exhaust goes on suprisingly they usually do...

[PhilipGCaldwell]

well here is the video, exhaust all back on and its still very loud, cant believe the sound is only being made by a 998!

i discovered why it was running a bit rough, turns out 2 spark plugs had packed up so was only workin on 2 cylinders

clutch works, gears work

need few more hours fettling and its all done back on the road

Sounds like an odd rattle there. Maybe video quality
Doesnt sound too lumpy to me.

theres nothing wrong with that filter lol

yeah, ive had a listen with a stethescope, pretty sure its the pump, not the timing chain, prob just needs few thousand miles bedding in

guna put a breather on the tappet chest cover rather than recycle it

no its not too bad to be fair, but it is alot more lairy than my standard 998 though! TWR, you will be proud of me, i may (will know thursday) be buying a very good set of twin hif38's on maniflow intake with stub stax and with the ITG filter you have on

Twin hif 38's may well be too large for a 998 and your estimated BHP.
