I've heard various different stories.

Last engine I had done was checked when being dynoed.

Don't know the actual reasons or wether its just a specific engine

never heard that you have to do this on a cossie as the bolts are stretched, dont know about the likes of ap studs or anything like that.

Shit sorry 2 hear that mate whats it doing exactly?!?!

Got the bitch running today finally!!!

Runs really lumpy thou but thats probably partly to do with the greys in it and the fact it needs setting up.

It runs thou so cant complain

Half tempted 2 stick greens in it thou at the mo for when i get it set up.................
