I've not changed the collets but I swapped the head bolts on mine, £31 for a set that fitted (*£23.50 for a set that didn't, good old flea bay).

Xtremeteam:
valve stem seals dan  :lol:  :lol:

zulublue:
The fog has lifted.

Had her retimed today and she is running loads better, a bit of smoke on start up but now clears to a fine smoke for about 30 seconds, then goes away, Ill see what happens over night to see if she is totally cured.

Thanks to everyone for your input, it is very much appreciated :D

I have many mods to do, so many posts to come, first mod will be roll cage and snorkel, I think the southdown snorkel looks the best as I am not wanting to go throught the side of the wing after the last problem.

extreme90:
i brought a el cheapo paddocks snorkel and instead of using the side intake ive gone direct to the turbo and chucked the air box into the bin and put a cheapo filter onto of the snorkel

ill be damned if im gonna pay nearly 200 quid just for abit of stainless pipe and a piece of moulded plastic  :shock:
