Have any of you guys built an Okrasa engine?

What did you do with the cylinder head tineware, is it just a case of cutting it back to enable you to put the manifolds on?

I have managed it on one spare cylinder that i have, and it doesn't look too bad, but just a little concerned with the cooling now.

Cheers

Andy

It's a cut a little bit and trial fit process. I mangled a set of tins the first time through; cutting too much and having too big a gap between the tin and intake. The second set I did turned out much better and I'm sure if I did it again, it'd be better.

Cheers mate, that's basically what i have been doing, it's a nightmare, but have been going very softly softly on them, Had a spare set of post 1963 tins and practised on them first.
