    Just to confirm we're talking about the same thing enlarge this pic. It's 3/8th BSPT (British Standard Pipe Tapered) It seals on the thread with tape or sealant. http://ij.supramania.com/drainplug.jpg

    Starting a T4 project, need downpipe ideas.

    It's not rocket science but you need some skills/equipment to do it right. Here's one I made for my T04z. http://ij.supramania.com/more21.jpg

    T70 t3 to t4 ebay mani?

    Why so defensive Rob? I was answering the OP's question based on my personal experience with this combination, not your post. As for "ChinaBay" manifold mine is a SSAC 321 China made header I really don't understand the bashing they're cheap and work fine.

    Never run Platinum plugs under boost?? Why?

    "I heard" should have set off warning bells Koenig ;) Personally I had issues in the past when I was running LPG during sustained top end runs of the IR plugs "glow plugging" and causing a misfire, this only happed after the run to 140+ mph and holding it there with sligtly lean mixture. I...

    T70 t3 to t4 ebay mani?

    Bul: My old 3540r was T3 Open, I made an adaptor/riser so the Comp cover would clear the Header and it worked well enough to make 550rwhp @23psi on LPG fuel.

    Oil Cooler yes or no?

    Your engine produces xx BTU's of energy at xx hp. The cooling system can disipate xx btu's this is set in concrete. Most cooling systems have xx overhead. The O2W Cooler just uses some of this excess capacity to keep the Oil at the water jacket temp. If you're marginal on cooling...

    Metal Heater Core Hose Repair

    Oil Cooler yes or no?

    A bud showed me one of these awhile back, interesting concept "IF" you have excess cooling capacity in the Radiator, if not you're just adding to the thermal load. Ideal situation would be the B&M mounted in the airstream away from the Coolant radiator just not practical in a Mk3 so it will...

    odd compression test q&a

    I wouldn't panic just yet Dennis! 7M blocks are VERY hard iron and the JE rings are hard as well so unless it has a really agressive/deep/coarse Hone job done it'll take quite awhile to seal up! (same combination here and much the same horrible results after 4>500 miles) Last time I...

    odd compression test q&a

    Ummm they were never "stuck" using Oil helps seal the ring to the bore and in this test lets us know that it's NOT a valve sealing issue. Put Oil in comp comes up usually = bad rings Put Oil in comp stays low usually = bad valves (This is of course assuming no other mechanical damage or...

    odd compression test q&a

    Dennis: Try Hommer's suggestion with the Oil and let us know if it changes. What is the valve lash like now? Rennat: Reading comprehension not your strong point? Didn't I warn you to keep your nose out of Tech?
