genuine gmh gaskets last the longest make sure no pressure is on exhaust as all that weight on manifold flexes fit bracket to exhaust to rear of engine wast gate pipe hanging off adds drama run it into exhaust retension bolts after run retension bolts

Car is going great have put about 600km on it so far.

Had an issue with it running rich - turned out I had accidentally bumped the choke (not connected to dash) on!

Also struggling to tighten the exhaust manifold sufficiently - the intake is in they way.

The blokes on the turbo 202 forum said that they ground their intakes, but I am not keen to remove mine again - it is a big job!

Andy, could you let me know who did your engine work? I'm going to need some mods done to my hottie motor that I don't have the equipment for at home.

Engine was built by a dude in Bentley in his backyard, and I have since had it worked on by Boz race engines and Barry's dyno in Cannington.

I am keen to have a squiz at your many rides!

Need to put a few more highway kilometers on it before the proper dyno tune, then we can have a race at the Motorplex.

Just came across an old video a friend made.

I don't have the flame thrower installed anymore, but it was fun :)
