nah i reckon we can pull it off easy enough... i think Adam doesn't trust us though, he still thinks we dropped a nut in his intake.

but i'll need someone to help me put the head back on, cause i'm no good at setting up cams properly. I've only done it on little ford 1.5 SOHC's before.

Bugger.. i doubt i'll have my car back together in time anyway, might just have to sit it out.

Yeah Adam's has got hyd/lifters.. we'll just need someone who can dial in the cams right, but the more hands the better..

that way we've got more people to share the blame when the next problem happens.

the new turbo bolts up perfectly except at the compressor intake and compressor output. I have to make custom mounts for those and grind a little out of the left engine mount. it a couple of "slack" days worth of work.

Yeah thats what i was thinking, we'll take it all apart, get someone to fix the valve, put it all back togther and get someone like Ray to dial in the cams, and give him a carton or two for his help.

    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • 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.
