I use heat resisting paint, but it only resists till 650 degrees )-;
So when my engine's together in a few months, it'll probably melt off.

Cold side of the turbo doesn't get hot mate

Don't paint the exhaust side tho cos u'll gas yourself with the smoke

Maybe a stupid question, but why do people expand their sump with "big wings".
I understand it's to enlarge the capacity, but why?

Okay sounds clear, the more space to spread the oil in, the cooler it can get.
I'll remember that

Twice the oil , so only goes through the engine to be heated half as often.
Sump now holds 7 liters

Looking good m8, 7 liters is quite a lot indeed

Maybe a stupid question but I think you know the answer,
my engine is now completely unmounted into bits, last week I had a part which I thought was the waterpump, today I got my new waterpump but it didn't look the same

It looks a bit like a waterpump and has a pulley too, could this be the powersteering pump?

Was woundering if anyone would spot next weeks dinner

Rear beam is rose jointed and fully adjustable for toe in and camber.
It's by far the best mod i've done to a cosworth


Thanx for the other posituve comments guys
