Same as above mine was out yesterday was fine then all of a sudden a ticking noise gave it a slight rev and there it was a cracked manifold so off the rd now decided to strip it and do it once and do it properly a nice reliable 400 bhp at least I got a excuse to buy updated tubular manifold now. Lol
