Out of your old calibra. Was looking for the f/s thread, but you've started too many threads since! It's been sat on my garage floor for 2 years! lol

i know the one, i sold it you for £50, as i was going out the country for 2 weeks the day after,

it had a power problem, had 3 crank sensors, a new AFM, still nothing, tuned out to be a block exhaust or something iirc,

anyway, nope never had the head off, the only thing i took off was the LSD gearbox lol

Cool, i'll have it off then and do the gasket and mod whilst i'm at it. Yeah cts was fooked and it'd been overfuelling badly, thus fooking the cat.

I'm sure he'll point you in the right direction soon

+1 for what browney has said.

otherwise:

www.orsas.com (http://www.orsas.com), 7.8mmx 87mm long alloy tube fitted in the oil way between number 2/3 exhaust ports

i dont see how that solves the cracked oil way browney or do they block the oil way?? in which case why dont they just use the hollow tube

[philip]

they block the centre oilway and go external.

its probably easier to do it externally than just the hollow tube.

Plus you can prove its been done this way!

You can also use funky bajos and braided oil hose to make it look really sexy! lol

Thanks again Dave, Joff's thread is deffo very useful. I think i just about understand it! Thanks all for the help!
DJ browney, pm sent.
