It's pretty easy to cook Turkey without making it dry. When preparing it - put it in breast side DOWN for at least an hour when cooking, then turn it the right way up - breast gets infused with the juices and fats, skin goes extra crispy :)

Personally, i'm spending it in Guernsey with my gorgeous partner - got all my presents bar a load of chocolate for the grandparents and in-laws :) The one thing i'm dreading, is the inevitably dry, flavourless turkey that i'll be presented with and have to feign interest in :D

I too, would like to wish sir Isaac newton, a happy birthday.

Machine shop should be able to measure the brinnell hardness of the head - there are a few near me that i could take it to.

Outlook not so good. Ask again later.

Yah - i just read the post you made a few years back about it - will check them, too. I'm hoping the wear won't be too bad, considering it's a fairly low mileage engine that's been well maintained during its life.

Because it's been machined, or because it's possible the head may have gone soft?

It's been over two years since i updated this thread, and i still have the car, although since my move to the UK, it's been kinda languishing in France. It still starts & drives, but still needs the valve clearances to be sorted and for it to be fitted with an AFPR. It'll take me a few months...

Joe - that's fantastic work, thank you! :D

Thanks to this thread, i found someone that bought this turbo - looks to be direct bolt on, in terms of exhaust downpipe/elbow! :)

When you say downpipe do you mean a standard CT26 elbow would fit, or just the downpipe section? Thats what i thought as well, but was then told by someone at sound performance, via email, that it wasn't water cooled, thus leading to my confusion.

I never went JZ - you must be confusing me with someone else!

Is 'proper character' a nice way of saying he's a bigoted, sexist, racist asscanoe who'd be doing the world a favour if he died? No matter his skills as a guitar player, the man is abhorrent in every other concievable way. :/
