Re: All my fault

I'm going to Amsterdam in June for a stag weekend, so depending how much money I waste there will alter my decision perhaps. If JAE wasn't 80 miles further than usual I'd come to that as well and extend my ownership. Come on Alex, I drive like a 700+ mile round trip to come to JAE, DON'T moan about...

Apparently all inlet valves are bent, some a little, some a lot... :shock: Alex, not good, :-k what you gonna do, you going for those ferra one's ?

Re: All my fault

Sorry to hear of your woes Alex,

Wouldn't it be easier to just drop in another engine?

On a side note, I thought the 4age was valve safe, how have the valves been damaged by the chamber breaking :-k

Re: Dizzy Talk

Peter has raised an interesting point though, one I'm inclined to share, why would the BGB give torque settings, if no one needs to use them :?: Do not not bother torqueing (a word?) Head bolts ?

Re: Question From Newbie Here

These are known for the fuel pump to fail, if left in fuel for years, as the fuel go's off, I've had this with a barn find mk1, the fuel was utterly stinking. After eight years parked up. Tank and pump ruined. As the fuel had crystallized the insides.
