I wouldn't be concerned, PCing is only usually at about 150 deg. It will be in the cooling (eg sling it in a bucket of cold water) were deformation could occur, if at all. Painting however is a good alternative suggestion.
I had some very interesting info ref. the mintex pads passed onto me last week. The 1144s are designed for cars with aprox 5-600kg gross weight, aka kit cars and caterhams etc. According to mintex a more suitable pad compound would be a 1155 - 1166 - the later being a race pad really.
Separate the parts (cover and oil breather plate). Mask off the internal / through to internal holes on both parts, all threads etc. Sack off the read gasket and reseal with a high grade silicon.
Madness running without filters, it's not just large objects like stones etc that will cause damage; anything in the air above a certain size that won't pass through the engines fine tolerances between moving parts will cause damage.

Not really, larger TBs are all well and good - but it's not as simple as wack a larger one on = more power as it relates to gas speeds.
The smaller internal total volume & more efficient function of the manifold combined with proper calibration does produce a far...
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
There would be no output advantage in moving across to cable throttle, and very little difference in response as the manifold does provide far improved throttle response over the stock intake tract.

Best fully fitted ITB kit / ECU / service on the market.
No, I just have a heap of kit :(. It's currently having the cage gusseted to the A pillars, but Electronics, Intake, Diff & all the other associated bits and bobs are sorted.
