Lawson's 818C

  • Engine
    • I re-shimmed the valves to bring everything back into tolerance on the passenger side head. To my relief, the leak down tests following this were good! I put everything back together and sure enough the car is now firing properly on all cylinders 🙂 .
    • Dyno tune coming shortly! Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly this time.
  • Go-Kart Wrap-Up Items:
    • Brake master/booster swap to a larger master cylinder size. This is to fix the pedal feel issue I have.
    • Parking brake handle mounting.
    • 3D printed throttle pedal mount for better pedal placement.
    • Fix small coolant leaks using new silicon hose couplers.
    • Finish seat mounting on passenger side.
    • A/C component installation.

  • All 8 valve shims replaced


  • Leak down testing the #1 and #3 cylinders


  • Test results are good! Both cylinders came out at under 20%
