looking for pictures of engine, minus head, or pistons

[REGULATOR]

Hey, whose got or can direct me to photos of the rocket engine with the head removed, or of the pistons etc.

thought ive seen them here, but search isnt yielding anything.

Ive got the servce manual, but want to visualize a few things.

if im swapping pistons and removing the head etc.

there is an excellant valve check/adjust thread that perfectly illustrates what it woudl take to swap cams already..

but was hoping to see some photos of headless engines and maybe the pistons installed etc..


thanks

I don't know what your looking for Reg's but I have an engine opened up in the basment I can take some shots of that also if you want it does not have the liners and pistons in it as I am running them till I change to the J&E forged blower pistons. here's some I have on photobucket.


















Like I said if you want I can take some of particular areas for you My case is not split but then I changed my pistons while the engine was still in the frame and you can do the rods also.

When you get down to it The Carpenter package is fairly priced whether its the drive in drive out pkg. It just depends on what your wanting I am sure they could get different piston compressions as you want. You have preadator pipes so you can do alot with the breathing now that it can exhale. Say 10:1 and cams, anyway you mix it the engine is under camed and well as long as your in her it is cheaper to do everything at once even if your going to do it yourself. You can go Nos but your cast pistons will suffer Forged is more of a requirement.
The thinkg that is good about the Carpenter Headwork is the valves will be safer at high RPMS as the shims will be under the bucket and not on top like stock. this is something to watch as you move the rev limiter up the higher you go the more slapping on the shims from the cam lobes will occur thus increasing the chance to split or tear out a shim and then well catastrophic failure will occur.
Let me know what you want pictures of and I will see if I can work them up for you.
