if the car has lost water then the temp gauge cant read anything.the sender needs to be sat in water to give you a reading.

James funge was selling a Fidanza flywheel on here.One of the best youll get and for cheap money at the price he wants.

As Paul says chards will sort you out but brace yourself as the guy who overseas the work will want to totally rebuild your prop and build you something that could have been used on the QE2.Be firm and insist that you only want doing what you asked him and it wil be fine.The workmanship is good but Nigel is a bit eager.

Stock pistons are the weak point.Stock rods and crank can take serious power before upgrading is needed.Plenty of 5-600bhp zeds in the states are just running forged pistons with oem crank and rods.

Thats the car mate,looked an off white/silver colour.Straight looking motor.

Its a black zed christine Dave and its gonna get ya!!

Do you have aftermarket alloy wheels that use a spigot to centralise the wheel on the hub?

Been to Cornwall for the week and seen one zed.K Plate N/a outside the Cat & fiddle pub in Bodmin.Anybodys here?

Hoes,what kind of Hoes?

Always got time for a chat with Jeff,Linda and Jamie.You couldnt wish to meet nicer people.

standard bore size should be 87-87.030mm.The wear limit is 0.20mm on top of these readings.Main bearing journals should be around 62.962mm.Big ends should measure around 49.964mm.The figures after the decimal point will not be exact when you measure them but will give you an idea what your looking for.If its not re ground have the journals polished and put a set of standard bearings in.

If you want to prove a bad earth use a jump lead from the battery to a good ground on the engine,Secure it so you can shut the bonnet and drive it.The earth runs along the scuttle is bolted there and then runs down the back of the engine and bolts to the passenger side of the bellhousing.You can get to it with the battery out.

This thread has been hi jacked somewhat.sorry Mark.Anyway back to the head gaskets.

Yes no problem.Mine is running smaller tubs than yours and it made 449fwhp at a recent rolling road day in Surrey.Mr dixon will sort that out mate.

So your still going but want to get it at its best before you go mate :D.

Hiya Mike,You taking that beastie with you?

why do you think the head gaskets are gone.what are the symtoms?

Nice smear of silicone sealant will do the job.I always use it and it works great..Not to much though as it could get into the cats if you have them.

Check for coins down the side of the seat jammed in the track.had this a few times.

You get to drive an LDV crapsus work van.I can just about take working on them all day but having to drive one must be a nause.you got good breakdown cover :D

Yeh PMs do have there uses :D.

Just renewed my membership.so thats another year you have to put up with me :D.

May make this one.Will have to try and stay away from Bmw rear bumpers.Didnt turn out to bad in the end.The guy settled for £25 to buy some touch up paint.Top bloke.

Braze them up and they will be fine.The small elbows off the pipes are no longer needed when the plenum is bypassed.

half a mm larger diameter on the headgasket should be fine.
