sounds like the high idle issue is the problem tbh,as your slowing in gear the engine is pulling against the slowing transmission.Does your car have a manual conversion ? what is the idle valve percentage at idle on consult ?

I love the billy and Johnnys in the engine bay pic,a true painter and decoraters outfit LOl

was it you Marty ?

Who won these on e bay,anyone on here,somebody got a bargain ! i got outbid at the last minute :angry: :pinch:

That just about sums it up Richard.couldnt put it better if i tried.

Take the bottom of the guide off it helps flow :thumbup1: Mark you didnt lap the valves in without getting the seats and faces cut ? the inlets may seal ok but the exhaust seats will never lap properly :no:

20 minutes per head mate,done a few lol a decent spring compressor would help,where did you get that ? a ford model T toolkit !!

I was too,479 and climbing,det stopped play.wanted the magic 500 but never got there.If the afr gauge had been hooked up it would have helped.

I will be joining you,Great woman to be respected for her contribution to this Country.I think Maggie did a great job and needs to be remembered for this,i just watched some socialists dancing on a newspaper picture of her and my piss boiled,they were about twenty years old ffs !! how dare they,they never saw the 70s and the shit Labour put us in.Rather like the the last term where they ruined the country again.Despite popular belief Maggie wasnt all for the rich i get tired hearing that old chestnut,she helped thousands of blue collar workers owna home,encouraged people to start their own businesses,crushing the unions wasnt an attack on workers it was aimed at the unions strangling the country and making us the laughing stock of europe.Nobody would deal with us.Its a great lost to Politics and the fact she got elected 3 times says it all.......... Rip Iron Lady

AH Hans Brix yer busting my balls !!

The only reason this has been left to festor is a lack of oil in NK,Saddam was a nutter and had terrible things done to his oponents but hey nobody cared about that really it was oil that kick started the USA into action,this fruit loop is far more dangerous and needs wiping off the planet asap.why are we waiting ffs.i say round em up,put em in a field and bomb the *******s :thumbup1:

The chassis rail is only double skinned at the front and not meant for jacking at the rear,if you look behind the rear sill there are raised points next to the front subframe mounts,support it there.

I fitted some for Funki and he never complained at the ride....say no more Lol

Last set i did i got bolts welded back in,i cant recall the name of them but a rod is available for an arc welder to join different metals.

I thought you said on FB Mark that balance pipes before the throttle bodies look shit :huh:

Just fit locking collars Joel,half the price,easy to install and you never have to replace later.They dont make much of a compromise in ride either imho.

you putting it on the dyno,i will bring some sawdust Lol

its up to you personally,but why not give it a freshen up,new bearings,stock or forged pistons your choice,i know what mine is,get the heads re furbed ie valves re cut into the seats and you have faith then should you choose to get it mapped.Maybe it can be mapped to a milliion horsepower whatever but on an engine 20 years old who would want to......its all ok until it goes wrong.Im not saying it will but flip a coin in the air and see how it lands.

most of those mods are not power specific however id hope to see around 520 fwhp,if you had larger ic piping and cams maybe more,the ported heads will help but the intercooler piping will restrict airflow.

insurance is such a pain when you mention mods,i could half my traders policy if i was dishonest but its not worth it if it goes wrong,always best to declare anything youve done imho.When ive shopped around and say imports and engine mods watch em run for the hills,its crazy as i have over 12 years no claims and probaly do less than 100 miles a year in other peoples modified cars !!

universal rubber boot kits are available Joel,alot cheaper than a new joint.

In my experience with these engines its usually a sign of broken piston ring lands,under normal load they are will appear ok but as soon as you bring the car on boost youll get a smoke screen out the exhausts.Its worth doing a compression or leak down test first.

goes north so i guess so Bri :biggrin:

If your in any doubt buy a new one,an old pump if worn will flow less.

Lol i know Bri,B & Q sell them.They fit really well honest.
