Have you done a comp test yet nick?

I just check for detination since the head gasket went, but no signs at all (thank god).

Mine was just down to the head becomming loose.

Well i made it!

Not a problem over the 577mile trip, only my speedo stopped working as we drove past peterborough.

Burn a little oil off over the trip but nothing too excessive. It was roasting hot too so i was glad to have a decent rad in but even this crept over the white line a little once or twice!

Happy days are here again.

Glad its all worked out for you Nick

Coopdog i never got the chance to do a power run due to the head gasket going.

Yeah really good to meet you Phil, if you do find out anything on my cylinder head let me know

I tried to put my TM sticker on the back window and it just wouldn't bloody stick!

Mine was a liitle swine to put in but managed it in the end.

Seems the application tape is stickier than the sticker, it will go just be patient.

Well it saw 100bhp before busting a gut so could be around 100+ at the wheels although only runnings 7psi at the moment.

Its running pretty well thanks to the carb tune up and John sorting me out with a safe megajolt map (needs to get me on a nice one next )

Your welcome ot have a look at my MAP from the RR, mine was running 11 PSI before it also went pop.

Fair play for finishing it in time and doing L2B without it going boom

Lee i need to change the fuel pump next ti run a decent amount of boost, only got a spi pump.

Cheers andy

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh so 7 psi will be on the limit of the stnadard SPI pump.

Its a simple job to do Nick, i ordered one of these.

Is that a internal or external pump? want to keep it all inside the tank really.

John sent me one earlier that i still need to look at.

Internal, that's just a proper walbro pump and not a cheapo copy! Lol

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

As per John's comment, dead simple to fit only took 5 minutes once the tank is removed.

You will need two spade conncetors, that are not supplied in the kit.
