Right, this project has been a long time coming, but as I'm expecting the body back from the painters this weekend things are once again progressing. All the various parts I had collected so far for the turbo conversion are now appearing out of their various corners once again.

If it has been sat for a long time the valve stem seals will almost certainly have gone hard and will need replacing.

Only you can decide that, you'd need to balance how many miles you will do per year and the cost and arseache of having to put additive in all the time, with the cost of converting a head.

Dont fit inserts into 295 heads, within a short amount of time the head will crack. I think your best bet is to use additive.
I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

I do have a turbo exhaust manifold. But if you have a solution that saves cutting the bulkhead I'm all ears.

My experience with lead free inserts and Minispares race-valves that the valves wear. The original lead free A+ valves are fantastic, but race-valves do wear a lot. I'd use a small amount of additive with standard/race valves (not a+) and lead free inserts. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

One question though, have you already got a turbo exhaust manifold as I may have a simpler solution for you if you still have the old std mini one than the adaptor which saves cutting the bulkhead. Whats your alternative Peter? I would love to hear it as I don't particularly want a bulk head box... |

Thats the first time I have heard about valve inserts causing the head to crack? I thought that was pretty much universally known that 295's have a bad habbit of cracking with exhaust inserts. I know i wont be fitting them to mine. Duno where it came from exactly, but its just something i've picked up over many years. Maybe it is another unture rumour. I've seen the future and tbh its Pie
