if i remembered correctly, you have told us many times that your mechanic had problems with the electricals/wiring and even tuning, and i have read from other forums that you or your friends had been racing other cars... think about it dan, if the engine/package was ****ty, would i have offered you (at least twice) to get my mechanic to fit it up here in sydney???

but no, i have said that: • they took a long time to wire it, not that they had problems, apart from laser and astina plugs being different on the throttle body. • i told you we were having trouble with it blowing a lot of oil smoke right from the start. Both with the turbo - which needed a $1300 rebuild as it was farcked - and the engine, which was using over 4L of oil in lthe first 1000kms i did with it - from the moment they had it running. • there was never a problem with tuning or the running of the car, apart from the oil smoke which was because of the leaking valve stem guides. • that engine was so tired it wasnt funny! worn guides, scratched bores, piston slap, extremely worn HLAs, a cracked crankshaft. do i need to go on? • i'm still waiting for you to reimburse me half the cost of the turbo rebuild as you said you would. • this is the first time i have badmouthed you AT ALL, even after your repeated ignoring of my emails. I haven't bitched about it here because i have not wanted to badmouth you amongst peers. i stand by my previous comment.

getting there. it's all a bit delayed, as at some point in time, all the valve caps in one cylinder have been changed. why? buggered if i know. but had to end up buying a BG astina head just to get some of the caps and collars (the things that hold the valves on) as couldn'ty find any anywhere, and Mazda only had 6 caps and no collars...and it was a 3 week wait from japan for some. and stuff that! i'm running out of time as it is!

I thought about them, but apparently there's just enough adjustability with the standard ones...just.
but they're on the list to add when i do more headwork later down the track....one day!
