Need to decide on a TIP

Thinking to unplug the n75 and getting into 5th about 30mph then flooring and letting off at peak actuator boost for 20miles.
Then change the oil and drive it harder for 300 change oil then harder upto 1000miles lol
How did you do it exactly mucka?
Did you gap your rings?
Drop you a text tomoz aswell mucka.

Will check mine i think
Aks how supplied mine said they should be ok and pre - gapped lol
When I did mine I checked the measurements against joe hirths thread they were the same as what he did.
Aye I got the engine built took it out for a 30 mile hard drive then drove it normally to 100 miles then did oil and filter change, had a very nice hedgehog on my magnetic sump plug. Then ran it for another 3-400 miles did another oil and filter change and then ran it till 1500 ,lies and did the oil and filter again this time without any debris on the mag pug.
i was reading that feeling sorry for the hedge hog lol then i realised
i suppose the magnetic sump plug stops it all going in the oil pick up pipe too?
haha yeah stops the majority of the stuff blocking the pick up. I would strongly advise one when running am engine in.
Just ordered one and a EGT gauage. Just a cheap one as my exhaust has a boss in it already instead of blanking it off
How's the weekend treated u bud? You get the rods and pistons in?
What make of gauge u go for?

Easy mucka.
Good mate ta you.
Start with me phone broke so had to go and upgrade to iPhone 5 haha (this stop me texting you Ginge which I'll do shortly
)Rods and pistons are in as well as the oil pump and chain.
Gunna order TIP next thinking of bills v2.2.
Does anyone Know how much modding will bee needed? I know the metal water pipe has to be.
As for the gauge just a cheap one that looks similar to my AEM gauge as I'm broke and don't think I need one personally, just need to blank the boss off really. The AEM ones look really different to the 3 other AEM gauges I've got.
No worries mucka. Bloody technology is a pain in the arse.
Yeah bills v2.2 looks good.
Good progress then, did you gap the rings easy enough?
Theres a few photos of the modded waterlines but cannie mind where.
