Not seen this before, and excellent thread 
Wasn't side tracked by some clown trying to be funny, which is nice.

Think I put it here for general interest, also put it here as although these are my views on why the engine has issues, there's some that will probably get very defensive of the speed six... Wasn't side tracked by some clown trying to be funny, which is nice.

superb read.
way too technical for me - what engineering/mechanical background do you have?
still a superb read!
I don't have an engineering background per say (have a business management degree of all things) but my dad was an engineer and his dad was an engineer and I'd been around people working on cars from an early age. I also had some fundamental machining skill from working on a ride on steam strain of all things as a teenager way too technical for me - what engineering/mechanical background do you have?
still a superb read!
The electronic side for me is slightly easier. A carb is like black magic!
I'd previously built an MI16 205 GTI and transplanted the mi16 engine and management. So have had a little bit of practice
Thanks Phillip.
As much as I liked it the wife felt travel sick in it and didn't feel as safe as in a "normal" car. With the time famine I'm experiencing between work, her and the dogs it had to go.
I'm still going to sneak in some spannering time on some little bits
It's funny but project cars are an absorbing past time... you don't rest till they're done.
