Nice or nasty...

[WR1 Bro]

Your thoughts please.

[dano17439]

Ive seen better scooby engines

[Clark]

looks a bit "playschool-ish"?

It doesnt look that bad though, would probably look a bit better in real life. I'm guessing it's been photoshopped?

[WR1 Bro]

Genuine engine. Poor quality camera.

[danr55]

dont like the colour of the dark red pipes, personally

[Bonovox]

Is it moddeled on a flume ride at Wet and Wild in Orlando?

[WR1 Bro]

OMG...

[Megaman]

why did he stop painting it?

[SPIKE LIKE MIKE]

No belt connected to botton left hand pulley...NASTY!!

[JP]

I like it....good taste in the HKS BV!

[WAYNE WRX]

Not my cup of tea but Im sure it goes well

[hil2900]

i like it, is this adams?

It looks like a scoobyclinic special to me.

Catch tank position is poor as well, when you put them there you get residue running back down the pipes.

Mark - it depends on the pipe routing. Mine is there as in the lower position that RCM suggest on the chassis rail, it does not provide great enough height difference to the sump with the drain pipe and oil travels up the drain to fill the catch can on long bends. With good pipe routing a high and central position is the best place for it.

@ Bro.

Dunc, you are taking about a system that's plumbed in back to the sump though...Which most certainly are not.

Spike - You great nosed pleb!!

Adam thanks you for your advice.

True - but I couldnt see a drain from the catch can from that photo.

Oh bollocks.. have you let me down Dunc?

[Autotecnica]

yeah it drains back to the sump, i emailed dunc before i did this and both mark at lateral and one of the guys from rcm both recommended the central high position for drain back purposes, cheers tho mark.
p.s you found those v5 heads yet???

Coming back at ya Mark... Please feel free to admit you are WRONG and that you were making unjustified assumptions again.

Nice one Adam. Looking forward to spin. Maybe you could cast your eye over my engine again and make sure Mark didn't go AWOL at any point

[WR1 Bro]

Adam, have you got an induction kit on it? I can't see from the pictures above? I note the pipe with the MAF sensor is standard? This looks nice with a Samco hose IMHO. Just thought, is this temporary because you will lose the MAF with the Simtek?

I'd be looking to paint the belt cover, fuse box and water header tank in the same colour. I think this will help it all blend together?

If you want I can pop round with a paint brush tonight mate?

[Autotecnica]

can you bring a roller?
at the moment i've got a small k&n connected to the standard maf but have got the same induction as yours stu and another pipe to remove the maf when its mapping time, just running it on low low boost till then.

[WR1 Bro]

just running it on low low boost till then.

Are you scared? Bring it over to Macc and I'll test it out for you?

If it's returning to the sump then, yes, it makes sense for it to be there. If it's venting to Amos then it makes sense for it to be lower than the crankcase vents i.e not there.

So i cannot admit i was wrong as i was not in possesion of all the info can i?

Adam, yes, i dug the heads out a cople of weeks ago. I presume you don't need them now.

[Autotecnica]

may still need them mate, going to be building the old engine back up over winter so i can put it back standard when i sell it.

[WR1 Bro]

If you spent less time messing with your old classic you could get my car undersealed.

[WR1 Bro]

Went for a blast in Adams car last night... OMG... Definitely needs to be at Brunters this year. Without doubt it feels like the fastest car I have ever been in. Gawd knows what it would be like in the dry!

[Autotecnica]

thanks for the kind words stu, i knew if i bought you a beer you'd write something good!
