my cars battery was disconnected for a few days while some repairs were being done, also i'm getting a replacement exhaust "whole exhaust", what i want to know is has any of this affected my powerfc tune, do i need to get it retuned or should i just get a dyno run to see if everything is ok?

thanks

You'll probably need a rough touch up, but not a full tune.

The exhaust might alter it a bit if its more free-flowing than the previous, but there wont be much difference unless the exhaust was super restrictive.

The battery off thing wont affect it though mate, all good from that point of view

So i got a dyno run today, finally, and the car only made 158rwkw as opposed to it's 190rwkw before i got rear ended. All that was changed after i got hit was my exhaust from the cat to the muffler, I got a better muffler this time a stainless steel magnaflow. They guy who I took it to was very helpful and said that the cat itself could be damaged which could be causing the drop in power or just that the timing is out and I need to get it re-tuned. I'm gonna try and get a re tune in the next 1-2 weeks hopefully. The funny thing is the car drives very nicely. no popping sounds, it starts up perfectly in the morning, it's just the drop in power for some reason, also there no missfires or anything like that.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
