Needed a little run around

These are lovely cars and pretty-much bulletproof. What's the situation with the 'Beams' red-top engine that the Gen6 guys always used to harp on about? Tweaked timing? Or different cylinder head altogether? And what figures are on those engines?

Much more reliable than the Gen7 which replaced it in my opinion. My syncro was f*cked between 2/3/4 gears for starters, and then there was that expensive-sounding tick from the engine when cold...

Yamaha beams engine has more power the out put is 200-220bhp ish and has VVTI not worth the £1500 most want for the engines alone.

Power deck spacer coming soon I will be happy if I can get this engine up to around 185bhp but there is not much that can be done.
