  1. I'm embarking on a massive learning curve, my mate builds engines for a living and usually does most of my engine work, this time I want to go solo, right some of you know I've recently purchased the start of my build, 1186cc Je pistons and block powerscreen bottom end and head, I'm probably going to buy a bandit bottom end rather than use the powerscreen for the usual reasons.

    OK but they are 79mm making it 1186cc in a power screen motor. You will need to do a dry build to measure the deck hight & volume mate.

    Cheers Clive, loads of daft questions to come, next up the snail xD

  4. Not sure if they have been machined down, JE's website states casting numbers are the same on different compression ratio pistons, cast the same and the crown finished differently, will have a measure up when I get in the garage

  6. just browsing facebook came across a guy giving away a powerscreen bottom end, I thought that will do for my oilboiler build for the old girl,  next thing I know ive now got a head, bottomend, 1186cc je forged pistons and block, manifold/turbo and a few other bits.

    the powerscreen has helical primary gears (between crankshaft and clutch), they don't take big power very well according to those who know.

    But other people who can know, say that is only a problem on assembled (aircooled) crankshafts, the oilcooled ones are one piece and it will be fine.

    I guess there's only one way to find out. Do it.

    Exactly what I was aiming at cheers CC, how much is big power
