I thought they were m 8?

That's the berries. Nice one. With a bit of luck I'll be pressing them tomorrow if the buddies work shop is quiet. Its doing my head in now just waiting to start building.

Mighty stuff. I'll go looking for a sacrificial socket tomorrow and have a go at shaping it. Thanks for the info. Really helpful.

Cheers man. I think I know what you mean with the socket but a picture would be great. I should be able to have a go off pressing them on Monday or tuesday. And then the build can begin at last.

I'm finally getting around to rebuilding my 5e with my 4etfe pistons but realised yesteday that the gudgeons are pressed in and not the easy kind. I've read into it a bit and some people recommended using some heat to remove them and some say just to use a press on its own. So my question is who here has done this job themselves and how did you do it? Also when putting the gudgeons back in do you just press them again or do you heat the small end of the conrod so the pin will drop in? Any advise would be much appreciated.

I've had 2 of these. Great cars. Regrected selling them immediately after I did. Is it manual or automatic?

They're stunning
