Discussion
well
dropped the cerb of at power today for its 4.2 to 4.5 conversion, including porting and polishing heads/inlets and the new lightened fly wheel, full balancing, stainless water pipes, full geo check, wax oil and a few other bits
now what am i going to do for about 4 weeks!!
i cant wait, and its only been about 16hrs!!

Polishing is a no-no. It reduces fuel/air atomisation by presenting a smooth surface for it all to stick to... like a mirror in your bathroom.
Power will no this of course.
Interested in the lightened flywheel. I always thought the flywheel in my 4.5 was made from cardboard, such was the general lack of inertia in the engine. Mate remarked, upon my blipping the accelerator, that the engine revved like a bike engine.
I miss the Cerb.

Are you going to use 4.5 throttle bodies?dropped the cerb of at power today for its 4.2 to 4.5 conversion, including porting and polishing heads/inlets and the new lightened fly wheel, full balancing, stainless water pipes, full geo check, wax oil and a few other bits

I always thought polishing the chamber was the way to go, reduces the chances of pre-detonation. There are different thoughts on the porting of the intake runners, keeping it rough is suppose to help with turbulence aiding mixture, but too much turbulence creates inefficiencies when filling the chamber.Power will no this of course.

Last I heard they'd started taking bits off of it for other Cerbs... so im guessing not quite as well as hoped. 
Although good god does his 4.5 look like a bargain in the classifieds. Someones going to get a nice car there, im guessing that the recent price reduction may hint at a return for the mighty blue machine to make a re-appearance to the streets of brum??

They nicked the new alternator off it & stuck it on my 4.5.
I've spent that much time & money with them, that we've turned in to mates
..... So I guess the normal customers get in first.RUSSELLM said:

I became a single man again this week
: so I'm in the spare room at my dad's..... Bit dodgy round here so I've left the car back at the house.I'll have to find myself somewhere to rent for a bit
I'm thinking of becoming a lesbian . I can't help noticing that the pretty one's always seem to go out with a somewhat gruesome looking butch one
I'm never going to be a good looking bloke, but I reckon I'd make one hell of an ugly bird
well if you see a cherry red cerb up there give it a little pat from me

give it a try, it works for Fubes... Congratulations on the single status btw, what was the coup de grace, did you tell her the other one needed a rebuild too?
