The Racetractor. The End.

[Piggy]

Probably thought you were an old lady out shopping or going to church.

sadly my rover doesn't go shopping that much or come out to play on a sunday.

Piggy have you found out what caused the head gasket to fail?

Maybe huge cylinder pressures causing headlift?!?!



That would do it!!!

[procta]

can you sort that with stronger engine bolts?

[Piggy]

Yeah, hence the ARPs!

[Niall]

Yeah i hope, hence the ARPs!

EFA

[Piggy]

Go fix your omex/coils/charger bearings/wiper blades neil!

[Dave]

That head is perfectly fine you know mate, they crack and get to a point but dont really get any worse. I've had same head for years with these issues. You will eventually have a pre-cup fall out with lots of power as darren did, mine have started working out too, but it will always happen with more power.
Pushing 220hp it will happen on a brand new head.

Also, you'll get exactly the same issue with a brand new head due to the power/combustion pressures through the orifice, you cant get away from it on these IDI's, I just opened mine up a tad to release it abit more.

[Piggy]

Opened it up??

My other thought was can precups be welded in?!

[Poodle]

Nice tyres.

I seem to remember Dave taking a dremel to EVERYTHING, including the precups lol.

[Dave]

Dremel is where its at. For radgetastic dont give a f*ck tuning, its definitely the way forward for experimentation and vague theories behind them haha.
My theory is this, you cant push a sausage through a keyhole. BOOM i just made everyone 300hp

[Piggy]

Depends how big your sausage is

[silverzx]

You could push a sausage through a keyhole, it wouldn't look pretty after passing through..

[Mattcheese31]

Some people have big keyholes, once I was told you couldn't put a fist through a keyhole, pahh soon put pay to that theory

[Piggy]

[jammapic]

Good work piggy. Nice informative video... But that bloody music, that is going to be in my head all day....

[Piggy]

Haha!
Note how it makes it you work faster!!

[spike2002]

Nice progress mate soon have it back up and running

[Piggy]

Nice progress mate soon have it back up and running

I been in bed for over a day so on hault till tomorrow.

Head, although crusty and with 4/5 worn hydraulic tappets/adjusters, does look good though pal

[Chris_90]

Good video but at the start was hard to.hear what you was saying over the music.

[Piggy]

Yeah that crappy music on the first part wasnt meant to be there.
Mistake in editing!
Ive only just got into editing and videos so newbie error there.

[akuma406]

Great video piggy a very funny music. . .
It will work the ports of the new head?
And check valve guide?

[Piggy]

Theres all but no play in valve guides, old one does have more than I like.
If you mean is there work to be done on ports...yes there is!!

[akuma406]

You will put photos of the works in the butt

[Piggy]

You will put photos of the works in the butt

Thats amazing!!

I may just put the photos on the forum and avoid my anal region! Haha

[Danny Wideboy]

You will put photos of the works in the butt

[Toms306]

I think things get lost in translation occasionally...


Video was good though! (Bar the music lol). How long did it take real time?

[Piggy]

Ah crumbs I duno...
It plays it at 15fps and a frame is taken once a second...if that makes sense!?

[Toms306]

Yeah that makes sense. Something like 45 mins if my maths is correct then!

[procta]

piggy next time put some acid house on for the music will you.

[Piggy]

sorry fella...already edited...
will try next time for you (subscribe and suggest it )

[bashbarnard]
