Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 The engine is super tight from full rebuild - I think the "High" tickover is more the 3 x Plenums buterflys being drawn open and raising tickover, needs a goodly strong 2nd spring on the linkages, needs that anyway for competitions so needs doing - think that will solve that prob. Oil leak sorted, good pressure 3.6 BAR, coolant and fuel leak still to sort, but tonight I may just have "A Few" beers with me BBQ Nige. And yes, I am like a dog with 3 of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I remember when we went out to tune the old lump, sat in the victim passenger seat with the laptop; "OK Nige, give it some beans let's see what happens" <VrrrrrrrrooooooOOOOOOOOMM!> Nige asks "So what did it look like?" "I can't tell, my face has a laptop print in it now" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
