The V8 Owners Forum -

I had this same problem when I built my last engine.

We put it down to worn threads in the block but were never 100% on that.

I had to heli coil a couple to get around it but I wouldn't use studs again though but instead use bolts from arp.

If you helicoil them put two oils in the block as one ...

Yup the urge is still there but it won't be satisfied a good few years now!

Hey Kev!

Err no, I do have a mondeo though. . . . .

I've left cars alone now and taken up my old hobbie of mountain biking plus some dirt jumping and just recently road riding. I won't being satisfying the car bug for a ...

Or come and get this 4/0 crank, rods and pistons and use them in itas the pistons are very strong and run a truck load of nos thru it?Or get some low comp pistons for the 4.0 crank and rods which again are strong which will give you a low c/r so you can spin ...

Just so you know I have a 4.0 crank, rods and pistons you can HAVE if they're any use to you.

Or to anyone else that wants to come and get them. . . .

I was going to put a 968 motor in it but wimped out. They cost too much to put right plus the one I had lined up needed the variocam gubbins refurbing which would add upto another £1000 to the cost so didn't bother.

I am a total porker convert now though. I've never driven a car which handles so ...

Awwwwww nuts why didn't you email me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pm me your address and I'll send them on!

Its times like these that those knackered old carbs start looking tempting again!

I have a new honed to size RS cam bearings spare if you want them for a future build? (foc )

Get your orifices calibrated

How exactly did you find this????? Were you twisting the end of your tache whilst hatching a plan on how to take over the world!!!!!!!

All my local factors sell them, Look in the back of their "exhaust book" and you see lots of universal sections.
