    I'm going to get the bits from Gav for the manifold when funds allow and have a crack at it myself, what are you using the engine for?
    when i enquired about the rods they reckoned they were £90 but couldnt state whether they were for a set of 4 or just 1 (but they did say they always some in sets of 4 )

    Gaz-d (andy who drives the purple corsa) has said he can get it done at his work reckons people do it all the time apparanlty his work is spot on he is doing the head for my let at the minute. Im plannig on using this engine in my everyday road car with my leather and a let in my track car

    The parts for your manifold will come from me aswell

    I knew you and gav were in it together (its not like your sig gives it away either ) are you going to try the vxr rods or just H beam steel rods like i was on about when you suggested steve?

    Would you be happy to get 8 inserts machined and i pay for 4 of them?

    What sort of power are you aiming for?

    If I get chance on Monday - I'll try and do the same with the Corsa VXR engine

    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
