Ahh shame didn't see you in the pitlane. You Must of been well paced to not be in my video lol

tyres sold bump for alloys at £275

i need number 9 and number 12 please mate 3.11 and 2.95... unfortunatly you dont have any others suitable for what i need pm'd

if you dont take the lot i might need some of those, will know next week

good first track, lots of run off and wide as fuck lol, can be a little boring as theres only 6 corners on national circut but great for high speed

im booked on 3 session: C - 09:40, I - 11:40 ,O - 13:40 although im in my MX tubby ill have cameras on the car too so get one track with me lol

second that belive there called a Caramel wheel

havnt though that to be honest... pressure is 90psi on warmup then 35 psi at 1400rpm (cant lower my idle lower than that due to stupid inlet manifold) i did place the rocker cover on without the bolts to hold it down and oil pissed out so yea guess all ok haha i used a genuine toyota head gasket (metal 0.5mm from a paseo) so would only fit on one way

thermostat will make no difference on track as itl be open anyway, civic rads are shit i found without an oil cooler it would get hot way to fast only 10mins worth of track use. with an oil cooler i used to get about 20mins before exceding 110deg water temp that was with over 300bhp though. ive scince gone full face radiator infront of the slam planel and all customer bits etc. for track use heat control is a big factor, my mx5 has 273bhp, big rad an thermostatic oil cooler (13row) and i can stay on track for as long as i want (45mins ish is my currect record without pitting lol) b

yes but there is a difference the 5e headgasket blocks off some of the waterways to the head., ive not had a issue, im using a 0.5mm metal gasket on a forged 5e build sorry i cant find my own photos but quick google shows what i mean (ignore the 3ee 5ee labels) mean

OK ive pretty much confirms its valvenoise heres the followup video. took the cams back out today and remesures everything so ive orderd all my shims now as but whilst the cams where out ive put a big blob of petrolum jelly ontop or each valvespring under the bucket then soaked in all and refitted all buckets etc, fired it up and no noise atall pretty much confirms what i though.. ill post up the final results after a reshim for archive purposes however the has come back (not as bad) now the jelly has dissolved in the oil note this video was after a few mins of it running, it
