The valve, well, that was just a PITA.  :angry: I`m just pleased I took it for a test drive, otherwise it would have happened at knockhill. Imagine, driving all that way then it blowing up on the first few laps !  :shocked: At least I had time (just) to fix it when it went.

Yup that would have been an absolute 'mare, and they do seem to get a bit shirty when pistons get spat out on their nice clean track.

Fortunately though, you seem to be a bit of spanner twirling ninja. :smiley:


You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

I read your build thread, that mk2 is a bit of a beast, and its no suprise about the time round the ring. Got some driving skills
