    Not sure if I heard you mention but use the 1275 head gasket when doing this.

    Did you do anything about the oil feed gallery between the block and the head for the rocker shaft? The drilling on a 998 block doesn’t always come out in exactly the right place compared to the 1275 head, take the rocker cover off and make sure there’s oil getting up there when the engines running.

    Oooh, that 'before' sounds like an old Briggs & Stratton lawn mower we had. Nice to see more videos, sorry about your head, mate.

      Haha yes it turned itself into a 2 cylinder

    Nice clean cylinder though ;-) What is the garden hose hooked up to...?

    • @MiniMattTV

      I was wondering if anyone would notice that! 😅 it’s attached to the breather and vents down to the wheel arch. It’s the only hose the correct size I had laying around and I wanted to see if it would cut down on fumes in the cabin. A catch can would be a good addition.

      Apologies for the confusion, this was from a few weeks ago and it was Basingstoke festival of transport. It was a nice day out.

    Have you noticed any power difference with the swap?

    • @MiniMattTV
      @MiniMattTV  2 роки тому +2

      Absolutely! Lots more top end where it’s breathing better now. I did have to swap to a richer needle in the carb to match the extra airflow
