Pauls Nova Turbo Rebuild

cool cool, they oversized one's in your head ?

nope just standard, opted not to go for oversized, couldnt see the point in it tbh.

All sorted, should be running again tonight.
No bent valve just wedged open 2mm as the solid lifter shim had flipped off, on one exhaust valve, which can happen when the engine hits the rev limiter.
New design (problem has been known since the late 70's, but not by me) of shims will stop it from happening again.

sounds good then so paul should still be out for woodbridge track day. as always good work steve
