oh yeah  88mm eh? pushing it a little there, just some info of the cutouts would help a lot, they'd be the same whatever the bore is if the head is the same one ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

yeah, I think one I have driven myself is 87.5mm, I'd be more than happy to drive it daily, if its going to break its going to break  I've just realised too, that an actual clearance value hasn't been given for the standard piston, nor the amount of lift as standard. I'll have a go at measuring that myself, looking at how close Sandy's lunched engine was at 1.4mm lift and 0.3mm skim, I guess its not massively higher than that figure + gasket (1.4+0.3+ circa 1.25 = 2.95mm, though not an accurate figure though due the the inclination of the valves, it will be under that) Pete mentions a safe margin of 2.4 and 3mm and Dan said 2mm, I think sandy works to about that as he did say any more than 1mm is pushing it. so adding 1.5-2mm to the depth of the cutout would help a lot, so fingers crossed Martin Sandy or paul can help (and that there's enough metal!)________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Ill have to try and measure the depths of the cut outs on mine, got one sitting infront of me now, i recon the intake side it must be 5-6mm deep from crown height. |

my pistons are now sat in an engine block staring at me, head is off being tested and skimmed as necessary and will be fitted with an appropriate gasket.Spoke to Martin a little earlier and the pistons will be in the post to him tomorrow sometime. Thinking aloud time, since Martin commented that all his inlet valves had touched with the PT81's which are 1.65mm lift @ TDC and his head had never been off, adding 2mm to the cutout should suffice, I guess even with the skim a 2mm deeper cutout would work on a standard gasket... ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Taking into account that the valves dont run parallel with with the pistons, but i suppose the cut out will be 2mm deeper on the same plane as the valve angle? next thing to consider is how much the head is skimmed.Id imagine that 2mm cut outs with the stock gasket will be fine with a skim, plus it'll bring the compression back up a little from whats lost with the cut outs, all be it minimal. |

yeah that I appreciate, but the radius of the cutout is larger than the valve so I think they'll be safe, not sure if martin just makes the cutout deeper or whether he can move it sideways too, I'll let him sort the finer details should be straightforard enough to adjust where the cutout sits when the piston is jigged, just a case of moving them up 0.2mm or so, maybe less as I dont know quite how much is going to be taken off the head to sort it. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Thing to do is dummy build it, even if its at the expense of a head gasket, then measure piston to valve clearance to be sure what cams you can run, atleast then youd know 100% whats there to work with. |

Will be very interested to see how this comes out Mei. Especially as you've gone down the other possbile route from me. You going to remap it or get megasquirt on it?Might be worth looking into the rev limit as well  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

not sure on what I'm going to do with the management as yet, I'm just going to put it back together with the stock cams for now.My cylinder head has had 8 thou taken off it to make it flat and clean up the tiny groove that was in it where the gasket had gone, looks a very impressive finish on it, no marks at all just smoothness, got them to fit my valve stem seals whilst they had it apart The valves are mightily close to the face of the head so I think I will put a thicker gasket on. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Where can you get thicker gaskets from and does the gti6 engine have different gaskets depending on what year/phase it is? |

what about the RS head on an XU7 bottom end? is there a significant difference in the piston height/cutout depth? what kind of CR would i be looking at with the standard/thicker gasket? and does anyone know the cylinder head height specs for the RS? haynes only states it for the diesel for some reason. |

not sure on the head height figures, but maximum skim from new is 0.25-30 due to the proximity of the valve seats to the face of the head.As far as I know all three engines that use this head design have very similar valve clearance issues, fitting an RS head straight onto an XU7 bottom end may cause issues in itself due to the differing valve sizes, depends how much larger the radius of the cutouts are than the valves. the specs of the XU7 have been posted by Sandy Brown on the 205gtidrives forum, a google search of the site should bring it up easily. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

i see what you mean about the radius of the cutouts, i'll have to measure up when i get the head off the XU7. but with the smaller bore of the XU7 and the fact that the RS valves are so close to the edges of the combustion chamber, i'm also concerned about them hitting the top of the liners, is this a possibility?i got the impression from you chaps that the RS head would drop straight on the XU7 block no problemo? |

as far as I know there's nothing that will cause you any issues.the XU7JP4 inlet valves are larger than the RS ones, so its not an issue ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
