James Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Does anybody have the distance between these two points on a 2.5 or 2 litre Mk2 engine? I need it precise, within half a mm anyway. Basically it's the distance between the inlet manifold studs(I only have a Mk1 head to measure - and it's probably different) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 James I make it 170mm.If thats what you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 That's great Alex... you 100% :) I need to drill holes next weekend :)I'm not sure about mm (though that's what I work with) - because I'm sure the Triumph designers would have used inches - and it would be more precise as 6 6/8" or is it likely to be decimal inches 6.75" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I just rechecked James its more like 172mm.Not sure how precise you need it?What are you drilling then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You need a manifold gasket James..... probably cheaper and definitely more portable than a complete head but having the dimensions you need ;)CheersNickPS. found this today (was looking for something else), but you might find it useful.http://www.metals4u.co.uk/buying.aspAnd if you find yourself in this part of the world I can probably find you a whole cylinder head....

James Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Alex - thanks for that - most useful. In fact you are spot on!Nick - you are a genius - reminded me that I once scanned in a manifold gasket and measured the distances - this was about 3 years ago. Thanks to my obsessive CAD disorder I found the files! I measured it as 171.65 - so I reckon it has to be 171.45 = 6 6/8 or 6.75"I'll go for that :-) thanks for the metals link - they have just what I need too.Alex - as to what I am making - essentially the heads manifold face in aluminium.
