Rally Champion Colin Mcrae And Son Die In Helicopter Crash


Recommended Posts

As a fan of his long before he was WRC Champion in 95 it surely is devasting to hear.

I have a complete wall of my house filled with McRae pictures...Subaru...Ford...Citroen the lot.

RIP

Posted in another thread..

R.I.P Big Mac

Big loss to the McRae Family.

Also a huge whole left on the motor sport world...

Would almost put this on par with Senna

    • If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice. 
    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
