    coolant being pushed out only under load

    If the overflow/recovery tank is too full this is normal and the system if leak free will find a level in a couple of days driving, the whole concept of the system is water gets hot and expands in the engine/radiator, this will bleed off some pressure/coolant to the tank, as the engine cools the...

    Piston decision.....

    As I said the inherent balance is pretty good, you wouldn't use bob weights unless you were making a big change in mass attached to it, ie: a Rod or Piston change.

    Ross heaviest>JE Lightest, everything else was in between, you'd have to check manufacturers sites for exact weights I didn't save the list I compiled. Never used an Arias in a 7M before but have used them with great success in SBC's over the years and can see no reason why they can't make a...

    JDM Raybrig diamond cut housings

    You don't seem to be getting my point, the RHD lights are aimed for the wrong side of the road and should never be used in a LHD car....

    JDM Raybrig diamond cut housings

    A LOT of people do stupid things doesn't make it right... :nono: Maybe the laws in the USA are different but here if you tried this the car would be defected and put off the road. RetroFit HIDS are bad enough at the best of times let alone in the wrongsidedrive housings

    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    Make sure you can get hold of some "condoms" when fitting the new seals or you run the risk of slicing off the lip in them and ending up with 24 leaking seals...
