It's just a factory colourcode to identify the size when they are stacked up.

nah not had time at work, saturday morning its going in with a new clutch. I am feeling flush too, just sold some bits off the BMW.

Haha i didnt last anywhere near as long, just signed up for Bronze membership (big spender me:grinning: )

BAH i still prefer a map:laugh: (real reason - i cant afford a tomtom and my mate tom would take the micky)

Yes the valves could be bent and the pistons damaged, its worth trying replacing the belt and pully then doing a compression test to see if they are bent.

If you do end up having to drill the threds out (worst case) then forget helicoils.... i hate them. Timesert's are the daddy's they are a solid insert and much better then helicoils. used to build engines for a living and where i worked helicoil was a worse word than any swareword lmao...

Hope your local scrappy just lets you get on with it mate because round here they would sell you the complete head as they know that if you remove 1 of those bolts they are lumbered with a head thats difficult to sell. if you go for nitrous on this project then i would say wizards of nos kits...

just a thought on this, if there was any truth in it all fuel injection cars would be excellent on fuel due to the magnets in the electric fuel pump........ my K10 is the most fuel efficient car i have ever owned. As adam and jamie would say ''myth busted!!''

Yep i was just getting used to the handling, i keep reading on here how snappy and unpredictable these K10's are but mine appears to be well behaved...... It had a pair of rear shockers just before i bought it so maby thats helping, i dont see a serious problem doing a few laps of a roundabout...

after driving mine about tonight in the rain i couldn't provoke the back end to come round at all, then again i didn't use the handbrake (thats cheating:upside: ) I guess i am too used to the bm, slight tickle on the throttle on this certain (disused...honest) roundabout and out she came...

I don't think it will work.

Mine started cutting out and running crap, turned out to be the fuel pump... sounds like yours is ignition related though, check the low tension (voltage) wires to the coil and there connections too, Is the dizzy cap cracked? If you are unsure about the dizzy to dizzycap seal a thin smear...

Do you mean like this on my old Rocco? http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-2/632508/stonsiepolish005.jpg posted as a link as its a big pic:doh: I think a similar style would suit the K10 or single oval but nothing too big

hello and welcome

Happy Birthday

that sounds awesom, no vid here though just sound...... eaven my BMW staright 6 didnt sound that good.. and the straight 6 is a nice noise:slm:

hmm i am thinking all red on the lights, if you smoke them i would think about doing the bumper lights too

yep if its the shocker lower bush it is part of the shocker.... had a look at mine and there is a grand total of 10 rubber bushes on the rear suspensionO.o

it took me about 2 and a bit, i wasnt going to do the waterpump but once i got the timing covers off i noticed it had just started weaping so had to wait for 1 to be delivered, best to make sure i get the right 1 before taking the old off. if i did another without waterpump it would be close...

Sammohung If it was too tight when it was fitted it will shorten the life of the belt, if i were you i would be aiming to do the belt and pump at about the 100K mark. I did mine today and what a mare it was.... 2 reasons 1) the old waterpump gasket was welded to the engine and took ages...
