BIG G Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Posted April 27, 2012 The budget Yb went on the rollers wednesday for a bit of a set up and to see if my hard work and low budget was actually worth it and the whole expeirience turned bitter sweet lol. The guy did 3 runs adjusting the mixture and timing and managed to get just over 200 at the flywheel at only 6500rpm and it should rev to 8k. so running it up for a final power run and the fooking head gasket pooped itself and so home it went. looks like its my fault as had the wrong info when i torqued the fecker down but really pleased with the figure and its almost back together. so not bad for £1100 quid
marky4 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 shame about the head gasket mate but great to get over 200bhp great work mate
