295 Skim

Post by **d_harris** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 10:22 pm

How much do you need to skim a 295 by for use on a 1098 engine?

Of the top of my head I think its 40 thou, but can anyone confirm?

Also, whats the correct torque setting?

To restore CR it's 60 thou. Some recommend you add the CR to get the best out of it. 80 thou has been tried.

Better with 60 thou Dan - Standard torque is 40 ft lbf - but 44 is ok with standard studs/nuts. Later Mini studs and nuts were specified for 50 ft lbf. Make sure threads are well oiled.

Larger valve head that can be used on 948 and 1098 engines. Makes for a very sweet engine on the 948.

Well - to be exact - 998 Mini Cooper - not the 'S' model.
