Bubbling behind the dash just means there is air in your heater matrix, could be the first symptoms of a BHG but more than likely its the heater control valve. Get a shroud for your radiator/fan because the fan isn't very efficent without it. Should fix all the little problem with your car...

Its funny what you say is true, I havn't had many problems with my car in the last 16,000 miles since I put it back on the road. If you came on here and read the forums you would think these things were made of glass and self distruct at the drop of a hat. 90% of problems I see are...

Have you got a part number Jeff??

IJ would you recomend doing this on a stock composit gasket? or is this only for MHG.

^^^^ what he said, DO NOT use the cork sump gasket it will only leak (ask me how i know) I'm going to be wipping my engine out soon to fix that pesky oil leak.

I'll take your word for it, on other cars I have seen with a stroker kit the gains have been much more modest.

So which is it 665cc or 115cc??? Hard to believe with only the stroker kit Again difficult to believe, that a stock car would produce 88 hp and 59 lbs/ft more with only an extra 115cc

What gearing have you got to be doing 110mph at 3200??? My car is pulling about 4300 at 110.

Best to pull the whole engine and check it out, pop the caps off the rods and mains and check the bearings. If your loosing water into the cylinders the tops of the piston/s will be clean and shiny. Sounds like you might be lucky and caught it at a very early stage so the amount of work required...

Got it off ebay for £890 on March the 9th 2004.

Codes??

I'm sorry to hear about this, I have read so many rod knock stories on the net it makes me paranoid. I check my oil and coolent level DAILY only takes 1 minute of your time befor you leave for work/school.

Gases contract as they cool, or an internal combustion engine wouldn't work being as the rapid expansion of the gas when it ignites is what forces the piston down the cylinder.

Yes I believe it does

Turbo gets better MPG because it has less compression so there for less pumping loss. If you drive a turbo off boost you can achive very good fuel consumption. On a steady highway cruise at 70 mph I can get 34 mpg imperial (29 mpg US) this is with 3" turbo back exhaust, no EGR (which hurts MPG...

This has probably already been mentioned but I'm to lazy to read all the posts, after watching the bi-tron vid I thought to my self don't they know the oil around your bearings is under pressure and that your bearings never make contact (or shouldn't).

Any generic 3 wire O2 sensor will work, how long they will last is another question.

Stock head gasket here, stock bolts at 72 lbs/ft, 12psi boost, 15000 miles and no problems with head gasket. No need for APR stuff on the bottom end at your power goals either. Stock engine from the factory is good for 400hp without any internal mods.

^^^^ that exposed wire looks nasty.

Glad to hear all is well again, good job.
