Not as std they arnt.
yeh benn told me i could of got them cheaper from VX, i was buying some bits from QED as it was and just got these bits as well.
and yeh they are nylocs for the cam caps.
i no that lol Thats why i asked the question because i though it was a bit random replacing them with nylocks. Is that a good idea i have seen small bits of nylon come of them when doing them up ???Quote:

Same, Do Qed sell them as uprated tho? Or just replace ment?
seems a pretty shody replacment imo, that seems pretty mad tbh. im sure that litlte pieces of nylon would do the engine the world of good lol
imo bmw156 i would use standard bolts and washers, if you dont have enough pm your address and i will send some over mate
Think he's gonna.
thanks guys for the help, i will get onto QED in the morning and see what their reasoning is...
and yeh i am gonna use standard ones, thanks guys.
ok so cracked on today with some work,
put in my new exhaust studs, will get a pic sometime lol. using the double nut method, worked great.
and also as my stupid spring compressor was to small i made some small adjustments to it.

i also won a set of cams and a set of pistons and con rods of ebay, all standard stuff. so they should be cool. now i can finish of the head, and stick it in a box lol.
also today i was researching what cars have had redtops put in them, and found a triumph dolmite, vauxhall vista and a opel kadette. some good WIP's on them and it inspires me.
also doing some reading up on the gearbox side of things as well. there are afew i could go for.
IIRC omega RWD: big and bulky but takes big BHP
opel manta 1.8 will take up to about 200 bhp, but rare.
the type 9 ford box, readily available and loads of uprated parts for the internals.
type 5 box. takes bigger BHP then the type 9
so i think its still gonna be a type 9 box, for the future possibilities
