I'm sure there was an article on there where someone sawed off the last two pots from a senator 24v cylinder head, then successfully fitted the shortened head to a 4-cyl CIH engine in a manta or something. Legendary engineering.

These guys put the cut-down cylinder head from the 3.0 24V on a 2.4 CIH block. Doing this, they get a four cylinder, 16V engine with 2.4 litre volume, which is impossible to achieve with the C20XE engines. You can get a special 2.3 litre crank for the C20XE, but I have never seen anyone using it. And they don't have to worry about the distributor, which is a problem when you fit the C20XE/LET engines in rear wheel drive cars.
Risse also sells complete 2.4 litre 16V engines, up 350 hp. And you can't complain on the price...
There is a link to another site that apreatnly has all about it..... but it doesnt work.

Ahhhh I did it all wrong then!!!!
heres a bit of an odd lump
Well this view will be odd
And this one even more so
Built to establish valve clearances before skiming and also the effect of additional lift on the cams
Plastercine - strip and rebuilds just didn't cut it all I seemed to establish was the clearance is the distance from the valve closed to the piston at TDC
So I got the angle grinder out again :wink: And made a window into the combustion chamber
These images will make you smile :wink:
Piston coming up from BDC - Exhaust Valve fully open
Piston coming up from BDC - Exhaust Valve still fully open
Piston coming up from BDC - Exhaust Valve Starting to close
Piston coming up from BDC - Exhaust Valve still closing
Piston coming up from BDC - Exhaust Valve nearly nearly closed - but still open!!!
Piston at TDC - Exhaust valve clearance is very close as can be seen in the pictures as the valve closing on the blow stage is being chased home by the piston and the rate of closure is very slow as it returns to the base circle on the cam (ie fully closed)
It closes as expected after TDC- worrying thing overlap!!
Eeeek!!!!
Note - the solid lifters have been jacked up to minimise the float with empty hydraulic tappets - (no oil pressure see)
darn- looks to me like the cutouts on the exhaust port side of the pistons really is neccesary!!!!
If anyone wanna see whats going on inside the head with valves and pistons on a 24V
