Standard Renault 821 engine w/ a Hermes kit and a Weber 45DCOE 13. The head and manifold are ported 1" in each direction from the inlet gasket.

The engine is 99% ready to go except for the carb and linkage. I have changed my mind after overhauling the Renault engine. It is really a well engineered, extremely compact and light unit. Ideal for the Europa!!

The head cleaned up, decked .010" with valve seats cut and ready for new valves.

The new pistons installed on the rods just before installation in the sleeves. Also, I had the lifters reconditioned. My homemade wet sleeve retainers are at the right. The original car color car be seen on the door above the pistons.
