Had my mot done and had problems with emissions, the mot tester stuffed a rag up my exhaust to get it hotter I think he said after about ten minutes it passed the emissions. I just wondered what this does. my mpg has slowly been going down its now on 24mpg but I do a lot of short runs.

When I started my apprenticeship back in 1999 one of the older apprentices was building a nova with a red top engine which at the time was the in thing. Everything on the car was done once twice, three times so obsessed with perfection. Ten years since I seen him last,I happen to stumble upon it...

I'm currently doing a cambelt change on my 172 engine, that is out of the car, there was a lot of oil around cam cover so was going to re-seal. I've read on here that you should have the cam locking tool attached when taking cam cover off but it's attached to the cam cover can someone let me...
Got the engine out of my 172 got the cambelt to change as well as some other jobs, while it's out is there any seals/gaskets that are common to leak that would be worth doing while it's out?
