greenfordpop Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Coming back from the Weston cruise yesterday along the motorway with my kids in the car encouraged to go faster. Got my Pop up to about 100mph when there was a funny noise coming from the engine, smoke coming out the back and then moments later steam coming out from the bonnet! I managed to get off the motorway and with a couple off more stops i got it home leaving a vapor trail on the way! Oil bleeding from the bonnet Anyone know for a good 1.600 x/flow greenfordpop AKA Barry

Stu_B Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 That's shit Barry! I have a crossflow in my Cortina not being used.... Give Martin & spike a call, they had a few crossflows laying around from Martins 100e van before it went v8 Should have let me know I would have come along.
greenfordpop Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Posted July 1, 2010 Thank you for your condolences Next week i`ll take the head off the see if the damage is terminal. If that`s the case i`ll put my low mileage 1.3 x/flow in for now and think about going a bit more modern, eg red top Vauxhall of Zetec! Sorry Stu i`ll have decline from our race. It would of been interesting to see who`s car was the fastest! Just have to wait untill i`ve got a twin cam of some sorts in there greenfordpop AKA Barry
Stu_B Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Ha, you're all talk Barry, that race was never gonna happen cos you knew I'd win I have a mate with a redtop out of a gsi astra if you're interested

I was ment to say it would of been interesting to see the look on your face as i went off in the distance Regards engine i`m going to look for some thing that`s already been converted, eg sump, carbs and so on. With the red top motor i also got to find a Manta g/box, but saying that i can get hold of a Mk2 Ecort engine X member that`s been converted to that a red top! greenfordpop AKA Barry
