its a bit off...

balls of steel

The engine made to much power (Pressure in the Cylinder) for the head gasket and stud combination on this 100mm bore engine. The pressure in the cylinder pushed the heads up enough (Maybe a couple of thousands of an inch) so that the gas could escape into the cooling system. Hope that helps Dan thanks Dan, so in your mind the gasket was 'fine' but the studs wasn't up for the task? Or maybe a mix of both?

maybe some explanation would help me understand what went wrong oh you got it in, sorry So cometic gaskets aint the way to go for any big power builds then it seems, must be heartbreaking to have to rip an engine a part when it's been running like clockwork So studs and gasket the only thing needs doing or did this cause any other damage?

I'd take the points, 4 hours...

the engine bay is the reason he had to step down!! Just spotted who is to replace him too...

well done Lexx

Trying a set of blue pads for my rear discs, will take them out on track and see how they do, they're not that expensive so dont think they'll work wonders, but you never know.

I'd say there was a fair bit of full power runs in that...did the car get an oil change? You might want to prioritize that if not... I'd swap all fluids just to be sure and get a service date recorded for your own mind. :-)

might stic ka bid in

that's one sweet engine now want t ohear a 9k rpm vid

all I can say is sorry...

Now take them out on track and get back to us

Thank you

at least mine has been sitting there for years and is REAL could be worse I guess.

any idea why?

Hey, tried finding the below thread: AdvancedME goes for 1kbhp with the Z And noticed I'm not authorised to go in there, neither are the AdvancedMe on the trader section??? is it a glitch or are they gone gone?

smokey

Ian you don't own a Z do you ?

tripod and slow shutter speed on that?

+1 maybe 'open' it up a bit more so it's easier to add stuff to it would be nice. (and then lock it down later on once they mayhem addons have been added)

what spec do they have?

glad to hear you're ok! Had a close call by sounds of things. The coppers won't care if nobody else was hurt IMO. Unless you where on drugs or intoxicated, weird they didnt check you out though, are you sore from this incident at all? Must have been some wack into the wall!
