Ha just an opportunity to improve performance now as for an old oil burner would have to wear a paper bag to hide my identity.

now now boys we all know that the v8 is superior to the oil burner in performance and refinement and I am not denying that a p38 with a proper beefy oil burner would be very good but please to convert a fine v8- albeit having an off period - would be a travesty
Anyway off back to Abu Dhabi for another month so it will have to wait given myself 10 days when I get back to dismantle and have heads skimmed etc we shall see or might just flog it and buy another
