Fucked if I know, but I'm still waiting to see how he got two half cut Webers to work on a fabricated manifold and managed to keep it all in under the bonnet, and I'm *still* wondering if using two barrels was all he could get away with why he just didn't use *both* barrels of *one* carb. > Which tells you what about the camshaft? That he was the only person on earth who used a conventional camshaft and got it to work with an 8 port valve sequence. Boy, that thing must have popped it's guts out. I think that's where he gets confused about his "bonnet bulge". He may not have put one in intentionally, but all the back-firing through the carbs took care of his clearance issues for him :) -- Regards, Noddy.

As far as the cast head, Cast Alloy yes, cast Iron, probably not.

I'd suggest you might want to start reading the "which pomme car did you own *and* like" thread to see what's being discussed here. -- Regards, Noddy.

We can tell :) yes, it'll be approximately 1 week into an argument where his bullshit claims have been shown categorically to be false, and his attempts to shitft focus meet with similar fate. that's the 'secret signal' that he's 'going on holiday'. Nice of him to take the sock puppets with him.

I'd imagine the throttle linkage would be a right pain in the freckle though, and the headers would truly be a work of art that I'd actually pay money to see :) > I'm sure that oz could have modified the ports to match the inlet port > sizes > and exhaust port sizes, and swapped half the valves around. :-) All with one hand while the other was controlling his B-52 on a short stop final..... -- Regards, Noddy. |
