Rod Knock is primarily caused by oil starvation, or oil emulsification iirc. When the HG blows, theres no coolant, no coolant causes block to overheat, oil starts to burn, bingo - rod knock. Then again, i had a similar problem, not BHG (got there in time), but driving the 300 metres from the...

I'd keep it Toyota if i were doing a V8 conversion for the simple fact that its probably easier and also, a Chevy Small block? Why not just buy a corvette in that case?

For information on cams - look here: http://users.tpg.com.au/users/loats/technical/7mge/camshafts.html Also, Burton Power in the UK will do you a set of cams from scratch if you so choose. One-offs available.

Well, you could at least go for a 1UZ/2UZ swap if you want to go for a V8...

Nah - cruises arent my bag - and Police rarely bother around here - cause most of them take place on private property with permission, or in public places with permission. They're all organised now...

Old VW's were indestructible, but as for the newer ones, i'm seeing them placed lower and lower in reliability surveys. Get a Corolla.

Oh they tend not to laugh at cops anymore....we have large clumpy objects with which to hit them with and we're not afraid to use them :D

Nope - UK police refused to carry guns. And black people carry knives more than guns (mainly seeing as theres nowhere to buy guns either)...

Chavs encompass all races. Most of them are 'wiggers'.

Aaah but he wasnt in the Met - different forces have different rules ;) And yes, i'll no doubt end up patrolling round the streets of southgate. At one end, full of chavs and geezer-birds, at the other, middleclass people who drive merc's...

Hm. Well would it not be keeping the head around as a spare at least? It shouldnt be terminal if it was running okay - might just need a bit of spit and polish, and assuming its still straight and true - it might very well come in handy...see my optimism already?! :D

Well you should be able to salvage the head and the exhaust/intake, and possibly the crank - so its a case of finding a 5M block....lemme do a little checking around....

Actually, the Supra as a Q-Car is a nice idea - i'll moot it to whoever is in charge of such things :D

Lol - even cops get ticketed in cop cars these days, and the only way out, is if you're on duty and have a valid reason....stupid fucking gatso cameras :(

Yargh - that's done some serious damage :( However, its just the block thats had it, right?

Lol - they travel in groups these days, and although they dont currently fear the police, they will PH33R ME! ;) And yeah, the current anti-terror laws allow me to arrest anyone on suspicion of being a terrorist...there's going to be a lot of chavs banged up for terrorism offences :D

Nah - but it will eventually make me a Pursuit Driver with a little luck....Class I license here i come! :D

I just recieved confirmation today by the Metropolitan Police that my Application has been successful and i start training on the 6th of December for the next 6 weeks! Finally maybe i'll be able to make a difference on the streets of London :)
