Spare V8 Throttle Bodies? Help!
Discussion
Hi all,
A plea for help. I've just got my engine back from Jody at Python Racing an refitted it. Unfortunately my throttles, which I had cleaned up and painted as part of my refurb work (DIY effort, not Jody, just to be clear), are well and truly knackered. It also appears, with all the dirt removed, that someone has had a go at knife-edging the butterflies in the past to make life even worse. Even with the throttles fully closed I'm still getting 10kg/hr+ air flow per intake which makes it impossible to set the engine up properly. I've got an MOT booked for 0830 Monday morning followed by a slot at Jools' place for mapping. If I don't make it he's busy for several weeks with some Emerald ECU swaps already booked in. Does anyone even vaguely close to Lincolnshire have a set of 4.2L V8 TBs they would be happy to lend me to get my car MOT'd and mapped at Jools while I get my set refurbed?
Obviously happy to collect or pay postage + something for your troubles.
