no ;)

Allan: :thefinger I still convert it back to MPG for it to mean something to me! xx litres per 100 km's is clunky. "Gas" refers to Gasoline and is just a terminology thing ;) Gasoline, as it is known in North America, or petrol, in many Commonwealth countries (sometimes also called...

Joel: O-rings + Steel gasket = bad! The O-Ring needs to sink into whatever gasket material you use or there won't be enough pressure on the water passage part of the gasket and it'll leak! (I saw a brand new Cosworth Sierra block destroyed by a machinist not understanding this concept I...

If the ends of the wire aren't dressed correctly and butted just right they'll leak even then if you're using a Copper gasket it's pretty hard to seal the water passages. Another alternative is "Cooper Rings" But the 7M's bore spacing is too close for them. (Gas filled copper rings that drops...

LOL no probs Jake! It's a bit old school since MLS gaskets became popular! (I did the V8 in my Datto)

You cut a groove into the block that takes a stainless steel wire. The wire sits proud of the block and provides localised pressure on the Fire ring in a composite gasket helping it seal combustion pressure or under a Copper gasket. Not needed on our motors with an MLS gasket Jake.

Adjuster: I ran my Irridiums at .28" and it was breaking down at 20 psi swapped em out for Copper's same heat range same gap and it's perfect. The IR's seem to overheat and glow plug on long pulls at moderate to high boost.

Brian.

I tend to go with you Lagged.. Detonating and he can't hear it over the screamer.

Boost leak?

Fronts are bigger diameter as Chris pointed out and also thicker.

I'm a little confused to the reasoning behind the mismatch in pipe size? The Hot air is less dense therefore Larger in volume and once it goes through the IC it'll be cooler/denser/smaller so if you were going to run Odd size pipes wouldn't you go hot=3.5" and cold=3"? Having said that...

It'd give ya a hell of a Hickey though! ;)

I would but I'm really anal that way! Remember to crack the nuts loose one at a time a touch before you pull them back to torque.

ROFLMAO! <for real here> (can't be good for the Comp wheel they're not "Brent rated" )

I thought they compressed to 1.37mm

hmmmmm ok ;)

The "beauty" of the itching powder is if you use a tiny amount in each pair she'll think she's got the clap and spend a LOT of time at the Dr's trying to work out why :evil2:

No Aircleaner?

Just shows what proper assembly and a good condition motor can do! :) I just hope this doesn't inspire a bunch of the younguns to try and do the same with their 200.000 mile old 7M's .......
