Old Skool Tuning Techniques

[Mexico]

Hey guys, just a thought really. I see new engines being built by respectable engine builders like Jondel, JRE and HPE etc ... but I've just wondered on their approach.

 

Basically, Ive been reading up on David Vizard when he used to build Pinto's. The work that he did is absolutely amazing! Re-shaping ports and combustion chambers and aiming to create that magical 11.0:1 CR.

 

Just wondering if these are the things that engine builders today are still doing or has technology improved so that painless hours perfecting the carefully selected head is not really essential?

 

Anti Reversion Valves, Blueprinting, Welding Chambers, Wills Rings etc are just fascinating to me lol
