ooooo I have been looking for that stuff over here, would you consider sticking a couple of bottles in a box and posting it over here Sam? i would of course send you the cash through first via a transfer or something?

 

[Mr Noisy]

Can do pal no worries, i mean tbh i bought it on ebay from a guy in Ireland anyway:

they do have some nice older type oils dont they still comma sonic/europa will do for these old girls lol

gone for shell helix for the bmw after doubting the castrol magnatec for the first time ever

 

[Mr Noisy]

So, it turns out I shouldn't have fitted my EFi manifold to what's turned out to be carb heads without cutting a small portion out of the top of the inlet ports.

One learns by ones mistakes

So, now the question is what to do, to leave it, to strip down and mod or to strip down and fit better heads anyway.

This is being discussed in the "Cylinder Heads" topic at the moment but I thought I better post in this thread too for maximum impact!!

As usual, any help is sincerely appreciated!

 

[fett]

I had forgotten that it didnt come with the efi on it.

I shall move the abuse to your new thread

 

[Mr Noisy]

Honestly fett any help is appreciated, if you read the cylinder heads thread you'll see it's a ****ing minefield

[Mr Noisy]

No pal somebody was asking but couldn't find the thread so I bumped it up.

Hopefully wont need to revisit this thread for a while

 

[fett]

[Mr Noisy]

[discomark10]

is you vid just to test how sealed the engine is?

 

[Mr Noisy]

It was mainly for a geezer on lr4x4 who is having hunting/fast idle problems and his engine doesn't stall when you block the intake, but it gives me a handy heads up that there is a little leak in my valley also.

might give it a go at some point, ide say more chance its on the rocker cover, cork seals are a bit pants

 

[Mr Noisy]

Yeah I just got a vague idea that it was coming from "down there

Will certainly be able to track it down with a little time

 

[fett]

these things happen as you get older

 

[Mr Noisy]
