Hello there,
Yes, I did invest few pounds into Denis Welch enterprises - I hope they
spend it well. :-)
To follow your questions:
1. I was not actually planning to use any front damper - is there such
a need? I understood it's only necessary on the 3000..
2. The oil flex line is from DW
3. The oil pump is new from DW as well
4. Since it's new, I hope it's proper.. Might it not be??
5. The pistons are Omega pistons from DW. They sit 0.25mm (+-0.05mm)
below deck. If my calculations are correct, I should be at 1:8.89
compression ratio.
6. The head is a DW fast road head with their studs, nuts, washers and
head gasket. (I do wonder why the gasket is 10% of the head price..)
7. The cam is a DWR1 cam
Machine work done:
- block line boring
- cylinder boring
- head decked
- connecting rods bored and checked for being straight
- connecting rods balanced
- crankshaft, flywheel, clutch balanced
I did think about lightening the flywheel, but I was a bit afraid to do so..
I know it's incredibly heavy, but then the engine is a long stroke with
crank supported only on 3 bearings - my machinist was slightly skeptical
about it..
I can't really go back now, as the whole crank & flywheel & clutch are
balanced.

Tadeuz--
I don't see anything that is NOT "correct" but sure see a lot of nice
looking stuff! The engine looks great.
I have some questions:
1. What are you using for a front damper?
2. What are you using for a flex line between the oil pump pick up and the
block?
3. What are you usiing for an oil pump --source?
4. Do you have any thoughts on proper clearance specs in the oil pump?
5. Nice pistons--whose are those and do you have any guess on compression
ratio?
Best--Michael Oritt
