Hey! The floor welding I have done, I have made metal parts myself. What parts are we talking about here? Have you cleaned it yet, to get a proper overview? ...
Biggest piece is the floor support under the driver. Looks similar to a frame tube on a chassis of course welded to the floor. I can make the pieces, but it...

Hey Bob! Reg's car is a 420 I, upgraded with a 2.8. He mounted some bendable bar sprayers that where bolted on the intercoolers. Had the same myself, easy...

Hey Jonny! Probably the Alfa 75 turbo you are talking about here. And that probably uses the watersprayer system present on the Delta Evo series. Not...

Hey Jonny! Bob's car is allready pushing some 380hp. He has balanced parts of it, so pure guesswork would say he perhaps could push 420 if he dared. Then again...
OK, here's why I was interested. While I was rebuilding my engine I had one guy who builds Porsche race cars for a living look my engine parts over. He builds...

Hey! What's to say Bob, I love bottom ends ;) I've been thinking of a bottom end swap for a long time. After I got an oil leak from the "impossible to reach"...
I thought you might be fitting the pistons/rings/liners yourself. If so email me and I'll give my limited perspective on fitting used parts. It takes more...
Hey Bob! I know what I can and what I can't. Never assembled a block, so wont attempt to do that at this stage. I discovered what the undelicate sounds I got...
If the valves touched they're probably bent. Only way to know without a teardown of the heads is to do a leakdown test Jarle. If you can do that first I'd...
Sounds like you got lucky Jarle. Check those valves real well. Fill each port with petrol and inspect the valve seat and see if it is leaking past the valve...
Hey Bob! * If the valves touched they're probably bent. Well, if the valve clearances are the same, how can they be bent? The valve guides are real tight, any...
Hey Ben! * Sounds like you got lucky Jarle. What do you say, would even slightly bent valve seat properly? * Check those valves real well. Fill each port with...
