The engine has had a lot of abuse over the years
I looked at my Stack mileage ometer and the engines done just under 27000 miles.
Its only started to run a little rough after i started using the pro s oil
This may have made it last longer or not ?
I know Rod uses this oil and has had it tested after some top speed runs
And it was fine so it may have made my engine last a little longer i will never know
I have stripped the engine down tonight and the bearings are all worn on the big ends
The mains are fine, I may get away with a polish !!!
Im glad the blocks ok no wear in the bores the pistons have allways been quite so i will measure these up and if ok will go again with some new rings
Im going to make a new ex manifold and put the twin scroll gt40 on with a few upgraded parts
Its got to be done
OK I will pop around yours when its done

I know it's not a Ford but I'm always impressed by how fast this car/driver is.
It's good to see a mix of cars and he can drive pretty well./
Did anyone overtake him?

I think it was only one out of 2 Sapphires I saw on track ( other than the parade lap at lunchtime ). Lots of 3-doors/RS500s though to compensate.
Charlie's car is quite photogenic though - most of the pics seemed to come out quite crisp on my camera. At least I learnt quite a bit about my new camera if nothing else on Saturday. Hopefully get some better shots next time.
Who had the E36 M3 and 200SX ( "... BYE" reg ) on track. Captured both their spins by Quarry

When you say front mount ARB do you mean like a bladed one with comp struts?
What diff do you run currently? A standard one?
