One of the reasons i am doing an 8v with carbs and nitrous is because there aren't many cars about with that at the moment...that and i am sick of reading threads about 8v vs 16v...and people just saying fit a 16v. I like a challenge, and hopefully at the end of it i will have gained some knowledge on how to tune an 8v to a good power outage and be reliable too without spending a massive amount of money Mike I should be getting my 8v head back later this week then having the valves and seats triple cut If you want to come and take some measurements before it all goes back together so you can use it as a guide for your own porting job then feel free. I used my mate Aidy to port it, not that I couldn't but he has massive experience with these heads and it's not always about size more a kind of feel, he used to build and port michael lee's engines on his speedway bikes. Oh and still looking for a cam and vernier pulley anyone ? | |

Oh and still looking for a cam and vernier pulley anyone ? Cheers dude...i may well pop over There's a cam and pulley on ebay for £45 at the moment...it's a piper one. Meant to text you and ask actually...would you be able to enable the automatic wipers/parking lights on the van? I am fairly sure i have the sensors for the wipers already in the windscreen. | |

| Man that's gross misconduct !
Fat chicks are a bit like riding a moped. It's fun but you just don't want your mates to catch you. | |
