great thread very enjoyable to read... what was the xaust valve story? what was wrong with cylinder 4 in the end? i like stories lol well turned out a few of the old lifters had seized and were holding the valves open, they have been replayed and now im getting valve float after 5 grand, so have to look at strong valve springs, yay |

at the end of the day its still a vp nothin special soz man dnt like it aye No worries champ, if we all had the same taste in cars it would be a pretty fucking boring world wouldn't it. Although I must admit I'm suprised that someone with your grasp of the English language wouldn't be more into a commodore. I do appreciate you trying to let me know how you feel about it though. |

currently making 375. i'd love to wind the boost up but orginally the motor was built to be a high comp tough na motor, then it changed paths after the motor was built. so unfortunately i have to run fuck all timing even with the boost at 14 psi when you ordered your new head gaskets why didnt you get a "standard squash plus 1.6mm" copper head gasket for it, obviously as you know it will lower your comp rate. thats all i have done to my vl, it works great as i had the same problem of timing at the start when i did my conversion on my NA motor.. Nice work on your build, it looks nice !! |

Nice work on your build, it looks nice !! copper gaskets are really only good if the block has been o ringed was my understanding. in other news - blew the gearbox yesterday, pulled it out this morning - yay |
