Im liking the Tractor/Mini picture. My car is kept on a farm must get some pictures as it shows how small they are!

ye an another thing i relised when i was giving me uncle a hand weld his mini trailer up is how flimsy they are an if you crashed into a big tractor you would have much chance :S

no i need to get vizards book :) enlighten me on this mod ? i was going to get that head skimmed put bigger vavles in an port polish an stuff as it is a spare head :)

It's all in the book but apparently you already have a plan


Basically you have it all, just missed unshrouding the valves ie making room around them within the confine of the head gasket (then skimming to get back to the original volume of the head or a little less)

Buy yourself the book
