GREETINGS FELLOW SUMBEAM ENTHUSIASTS:
I WAS HOPING THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE KNEW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION.
I AM HAVING A 1725CC ALPINE MOTOR REMANUFACTURED. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW
WHAT THE “VALVE INSTALLED HEIGHT” OR THE “VALVE SPRING INSTALLED HEIGHT”
OR THE “CUMBUSTION CHAMBER VOLUME” IS. SO MY THREE-YEAR-OLD CAN ONLY
SIT IN THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS “BABY”(AS MY SON CALLS IT)
FOR OVER A YEAR. SERIES 5 MOTOR. VALVE SPRINGS SET ON THIN SHIMS NOT
CUPS. NEW SEATS NEED TO BE GROUND. NEED TO CC THE BORES FIRST. ANY ONE
OF THE THREE ABOVE WILL CURE THE PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT THE SPECS THAT I
HAVE BEEN GIVEN FOR THE OUTER SPRING ARE 1.55. WRONG! IT IS A “GT”
MOTOR AND I DON’T KNOW MUCH MORE THAN THAT. ANY HELP WILL BE TRULY
GREATLY APPRECIATED.
