I am pissed at the builder. they also have made my 200 block worth nothing as they decked it so much. Just a case of bad advice costs the customer but not the builder. :x

Cars run about 100 miles without hitting them, thicker HG now so shouldn't be a issue. Been RR with current set up with dave thinking there wasn't a problem with the engine. Unless the cam belts jumped?

I can highly recommend either Charlie Mahoney and CTM Performance Engineering in Dagenham or John Edwards in Daventry (currently developing a 1000bhp cossie engine!).
