what application?

i've done the nurburgring on them, no problem (ok they went a bit blue, but they didn't fall apart!) its done in the same way they make new tyres, they just use old cases, as long as the rubber is vulcanised properly its fine

just got a letter (didn't declare SORN), the way i view it is as they sent me a fine plus back dated tax it was taxed the whole time

7min53?? What does a meg265 go round in?

stock bore is 82.7mm, stock pistons from memory are 82.63mm (that's a guess) i guess you're keeping stock pistons? So just a quick glaze bust/flexihone?? he should know what ring gaps should be big ends from memory are 1.5thou mains, would have to check, but i's guess around 1.5-2thou thrust -...

erm he only has to gap the rings, lap in the thrust washers, measure the crank and gauge the bearings if he's asking for those measurements then i'd be going elsewhere! Don't even get me started on timing up the cams LOL

For those who like all this technical stuff, have a search its fascinating! Chip - what you reckon?

aye the guy is a car killer

I'd love to be employed by RUK and go round all the dealerships cracking the whip, would be hilarious! I remember telling the RTE at a dealership in Scotland how to fix something on Chic's car over the phone as he didn't have a clue

that would be a yes then!! yeah 172/182 kit will do it, shop around though as they can be had new for under £50

23mm outer and 25mm inner

do you have the brake lines (the hard pipes) for the rear axle?

PAS pump/waterpump knackered or the aux tensioner has seized etc etc, get it checked ASAP, should be under warranty with whoever did the work, it certainly would be if it was us!

the machine shop i use has some fancy pliers they use to pull them out with - zero damage

Its just an exhaust, don't panic!! LOL Nothing to do with JP! This isn't the invention of turning air into gold
