[jimmyfreak]

sounds like a good motor poochie...lucky u got a mechanic helpin...whats the condition of the 186 it was my understanding that those motors are still grouse...(an tough as)?

[Poochimama]

Hey Jimmy

I am stoked with my mates 202 i bought off him,my bro a fitter machinist/engineer/brilliant perfectionist of a mechanic,NOTHN is ever done half assed or a short cuts as he restores his vinatge motor bikes to show gallery perfection,so YES i am blessed to have him with this motor. For steve to actually saaaay..Its GREAT 202 and just no rebuild ..NOTHING except change the oil as he drove it home from melton and floored it and its sooo quiet,No smoke..no noise tappn, no rattles, no nothing at high revs,im so happy...actually steve is even more happy as motor wise if steves says its great (being perfectionist pain at times)then ive just scrored a top motor..except for the fitting which hes decied to cut some floor out n change the mould of the engine cover.
As for the 186..we dont want it,but it made it easy home from Qld to Melb,even surprised steve who said it would..HA HA..just kept on going with out a miss of a  beat,BUT no pull up hills..cows walkbn past us wr laughn at us!!!
 So guess compressin shit..thats bloke talk im just repeatn what my bro said.lol!! But hey..it cruised on the flat from Qld no probs,we change over engines tday or tomorrow..exciting!!
Any way..day off tday to do my pimpn out of the inside.
Cheers

I've fitted a vk egi inlet manifold (12 port) to a 173 9 port head on a 186 block. You really wouldn't want to go 9 port manifold to 12 port head, it just strangulates the flow.

I really wanted to get rid of the old stromberg carby as I never run it on petrol, and it just was stupid to run lpg through it, the throttle being so small.
I made up an adaptor plate to fit a vk efi throttle body since I'm running straight gas, so no need for a carby or all the pollution crap. cut out the carby inlet into a square with jig saw and grinder, then used a die cutter to smooth out the edges for better flow, blocked the bottom exhaust inlets on the maifold with plates and grinded off the triangular bit on the side and blocked off those ports with plates. Then grinded the edges of the inlet ports on the manifold until it slid onto the head from above. It did just clear the extractors and the side of the floor. I had to bash out the cover just a bit for it to fit, but it's all good now. Lots more torque than the old manifold, can go uphill easily.

I'd recommend getting any other carby than the varijet, and making up an adaptor plate for it.

This was just a experimental step before I put on the VK EFI head with ram tubes manifold. THAT needed serious cutting out of the floor!

[ben]

what happened to the fuel injected manifold you were gunna use camden?

[Rothu]

Ben, this was just an experimental upgrade that came before the EFI head and ram tubes manifold changeover. I've gone back to this set-up temporarily as I get the EFI head shaved 78 thou since it's compression was only 8.8:1, not good for high octane lpg (knocking)! so it'll be 10.5:1 after shaving, then it's back on!

[ben]

good on ya camden ya crazy kid!

[Poochimama]

Hey Ben,

Yeah mate ive pretty done the same with the manifold, cut it back just a touch more&relocated the vacume lines on the side to the top of the manifold!
And for now keep the varijet carb&doing heavy mods to the side of the  cover to clear everything!
Thanks heaps for ALL yr imput on here, very helpful fellas,Thanx ben for uploading yr pics for me,cheers!!
Cheers
Steve

P.S: WISH i didnt have a sister at times,LOL..LOL!!! Mind u her love of Beddys came from me, she always wanted mine in the 70s as a kid and thanx to her i guess its all inspired me to pull mine from undercover and start my own project on it again,the gallery shots on here of others beddys are inspiring huh!
