going to be waiting a bit longer now, it's not going to be ready for Springfest :crybaby: there was a knocking noise from inside the engine, turned out the gasket had shifted slightly, so another one is needed.

better to not rush it, although i was looking forward to springfest

thats so gay mate, hope the rest of it goes well

so will you still be leaving at 6.30 ??

:-D

there's still pleanty of life left in those pads!

So don't you wish you'd went for another way to lower the compression ratio rather than just using two headgaskets?

  • Author

no the head gaskets are fine, just one shifted slightly, it wasnt a compression problem, nando and eddy are going to drill an extra hole through the gaskets into the head and put a dowel type thing in to stop them moving again

it's all good

Are you going to do pistons when funds allow?

  • Author

yeh, either brand new ones, or a set of S2 pistons, as they'll pop straight in
