My experience of hammerite is that in 6-12months it hardens to a crust and flakes off

Awesome, a wins a win and you won :D

I did shed loads of high speed on a stock bottom end very much sustained. Like others on here, baffled extra capacity oil sump, oil cooler, silkolene oil low milage well treated engine. Normally...

Putting my mum on this year would have increased it 10 quid, putting my dad on decreased it 20 quid. So thats what I did, known about this trick for a while.

Pinman its only worth an extra £1000 per badly fitted biege leather door insert or pink neon. Id recommend fitting 10 pink neons = £10,000.

There is one born every minute so maybe the seller...

Mad for that spec it is advisable. If you want to run 95 ron get it tested to ensure it doesnt det. A tuner driving it on the road with det cans can tell you if its working.

Do you ever get a...

Normal fuel is fine on a standard car, it is only important if you increase the power or change the engine management fuel map settings.

D?ont panic Mr Mannering.

BTW on my car BP 97 ron was...

Toluene:nod:

On a tuned turbo car 95 ron = death if you use any boost. But will be fine off boost.

Dont agree with the octane boost comment, it saw me through a few top speed runs where often you need a bit...

A bust engine can damage the turbo, also worth noting.

It looks like the previous owner had been useing slick 50 as oil, no wonder it needs a rebuild.

I dont think Bren will make any HP claims as it all depends on how well setup things are but it appears they are a similar spec as these.

Ken do the insurance company now charge you like you have a corvette?

Apex do rods for 260 quid!

They should be ok providing there is no micro fractures, areas where the chemistry of the metal are weak/weakly structured, heat treatment correct. Maybe there will be a materials engineer on here...

Engines normally run rich on idle, dont fire everytime and due to the slow turn over fuel is more likely to get into the oil.

Petrol in oil = "This is a potentially bad condition, and can result...

Your in a catch 22, your car wont pass an mot until you run it in and you cant run it in until you get and mot.

You cant idle it for hours, youll fill the oil with fuel and probably do no good for...

I used denso iridiums one step colder worked fine, never had to replace them.

My car blew out the sparks on boost. Was fixed by reducing the gapping to 0.9 (was caused by cold weather).

I cant see it occuring on idle without a bad map or some other problem, as the...

Either that or book it in to a sxoc friendly garage 200miles away, it could benefit from the running in. As long as your driving to a garage were your pre booked its fine.

Just remember to take...

Keep it running on mineral oil for another 980 miles.

There will not be much fuel pressure diff due to the walbro. But why not pop the old oil pump back in till you get it mapped if your worried.

I phoned the council they said the NIC periodic wont suffice I need somebody who is willing to issue 17th ed installation certificates. The council said I might find an electrician that is willing...

I believe they are the same size. If they are then they might not be the same spec, the DETs rods might have undergone a different manufacturing/heat treatment regime to the DEs etc.

I had Tomei 256 cams, rocker arm stoppers new rocker arms fitted.

If you can afford them, they are worth it. Youll need a remap.

If your going to fit greddy springs youll need it mapped to...

Yep council are involved, i think if I had a load of black and red wire i could get away with it.

Does a periodic mean i need to get it retested every x years or could i just wait till i sell the...
