When knocking new core plugs in, what sealant do you guys recommend - some loctite compound? |

I havent had to do my minis engine but on engines at work we use a bit of paint, im sure some loctite flange sealer would be fine!

Its upto you I would recommend using the blue gasket, mine were put in dry and they leaked for a while until the corrosion sealed them? They don't no more but they did at first. 1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
