SPIKO Gold Donating Members 1,924 Member For: 19y 7m 21d Gender: Male Posted 26/03/10 06:50 AM Share Posted 26/03/10 06:50 AM waiting for that phone call to say hey, come pick it up.. they phoned an hour ago and said they were having trouble with the variable cam gears, so im hoping its all sorted and I get it back. otherwise I'll be one unhappy camperI am sharing your enthusiasm, hope it all goes well. 20 mins spiro........ I started mine... looked for oil leaks and backed it onto the dyno, it made over 500kw before it came off ha ha,As stated Kent, you are out of control running in oil and loading the rings up from start up will get you a better engine with less blow by.If I had an engine built by a shop I would want them to thrash it quite alot before they gave it to me to make sure its built and tuned right.Agreed....

Just so there all together and easy to find.Maybe chuck XFT's two weapons in there too. Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
