the rims went on no probs, we already had coilovers on it, so i dont know if that makes any difference?

no rubbing or anything, top wheels well chuffed with them

, max melted a plug on his cossy when he was running a faulty boost gauge so thought he was running 15psi on stage 1 but was actually running 22psi, he was very lucky though as the tpi melted onto the plug causing it to run on 3 ,

hope yours is all ok though

you may want to check the turbo also

if bits of valve have gone thru it it may not be too healthy

That isnt too bad. Seems like a couple of valves to me. Cheaper than another head, unless it's been skimmed a bit over.

bad luck, last saturday mine meled ALL the fookin spark plugs, i got a hole in a valve too, bigger than phils, but smaller than yours.

what causes the holes in the valves???

cos the plug on cyl had most of it left, but hole in valve, other 3 plugs were totally fukked, but valves ok

cant get pics at the mo as the cam batterys are flat...
