ouch............... any idea on cost? they are not going to be sold they will go back on to the block and then the engine will go in my mk3 capri

hi i have got a modded essex turns out to be 3.1 (had a 60 thou over bore) swaymar inlet manifold ,vernier timing gear,60 thou power max pistons. took the heads off today: found wills ring cutouts in the block,looked at the heads and the valves are huge.............46 mm inlet and 41mm exhaust,i am trying to find out what spec these are eg stg1 stg2 stg3 etc...... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/ ...

C01197.jpg any ideas ???????????/ the engine has had a lot of money spent on it but not by me...........

any of the above AND Doro Pesch

i am hgv mechanic(for over 16 yrs) they are trying it on....tossers truck wheel nuts are normally done up to 450 lb/ft then rechecked after 50 miles i have seen the damage that happens when trucks loose wheels...its deadly! there is a thing know as "loose wheel nut syndrome" when for some reason they come loose, it cant be explained .we saw it several times where nuts had come loose when they had not been touched(undone) for years...... 9/10 its down to wheel studs snapping and allowing the rim to move which then either snaps other studs or they work loose..............it happens a fair bit on heavy stuff.......or they were not done up right first time......

what i did was nip to local scrappy find a 5 series bmw or 7 series look in the boot remove the battery cable all the way through the car,in the engine bay you will find a heavy duty junction box. i mounted the jct box on the inner front wing of the capri and then you can mount everything off there just bolt your earth cable to a good earth point in the boot.(i did 2 diferent earth points) cost me £10 at the scrappies

have just got an essex that has been modded........ 3050cc powermax pistons new rods(polished) not sure of make race cam(not sure spec but engine was very lumpy on tick over) swaymar inlet manifold stage 2 or 3 heads (manifold matched to ports which are very large) waisted stem valves holley 390 vernier timing gear just wondering what sort of power it will give had loads of torque and reved its nuts off. prob has other mods as well http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/ ...

if you are making pickled onions,swap half the vinegar for vodka(or 90% if feeling brave lol )......wait for 2 or 3 months.....very very nice pickles....just dont drive after eating them

there was a merc near me with 4 KOF,aint seen it for ages

i went to scrap yard.........found an old bmw 5 series,spent 30 min removing its batt cable (batt in boot) it even comes with a junction box and a point to jump start the car (which i mounted in the eng bay of the capri i am modding) £10(and all the other bits that i had as well )

i used to keep fish....i had 77 tanks.............i saw the error of my ways and ripped the lot out...........lengthened the shed (20ft to 24 ft) and widened it(8ft to 14 ft) and put in and o s f

i have a german shep x akita. so far: the stair carpet has holes in it the walls have wall paper removed the garden is full of holes destroyed a bundle of garden canes 2x 2ft lengths of 2x2 sky remote 2 pairs of slippers 2 plastic water sprayers(for my lizzards) several pairs of socks the list goes on,the dog in question is 8 mths old now(will be lucky to make 1yr).shes fine when we are in the house,but when we go out............. she has about 1 carrier bag full of bones a week but she still wants to chew..............bloody dogs!!!!! lol but on the up side no one would get in to the house and get out with out a few chew marks.............we do have notices up on all doors and windows just in case any scrote tries it
