  • My new WRC head gasket turned up today so i can refit the cylinder head at the weekend after it's all been cleaned up/out etc . I think i'm going to leave the dry sump oil pump for now as i'm not 100% sure that it's faulty . No point in buying a new one just yet until further investigation has been carried out after the classic Ford show .

    • I tested out the new exhaust on the rollers tonight and it works a treat . A nice gain in power + torque so it should go faster

              • lol , you nearly die in the wet !!!!!!!! It's fine in the dry though unless you really take the **** in 1st + 2nd gear . It grips hard once you're moving and if using a bit of self control .

                          • I sprayed my new cam cover with it's new breather system black with a can as there's not enough time for a proper job until after the classic Ford show . It don't look too bad though and it only took 5 mins !!!!!!!

                              howdy.

                              Do you heat the oil prior to fire up ?
