Take it Mark that the header tape places sell is a load of tosh.I've not seen anyone using it but put me right if I'm wrong. I wouldn't mind to get my underhood temperature down - more hp no? and less chance of boiling up in traffic on a hot day??

Meant to add obviously on a different level to what you and Jon are operating on.

Trouble with header wrap it holds moister and rots your headers.

Starting to come together nicely

Can I ask where you got your pistons coated

Have you had any other parts coated ?

I contacted Zirtec, about getting headers coated, as want to try to reduce under hood temps as much as possible, but their prices were expensive
• Headers coated in a Perf Colour £1,129 inc VAT
• Headers coated in Black: £686 inc VAT

have you tried this place

Well it looks like I may have a crack in my block after the nats

With 3 weeks until the next round at the Open Sport Nationals at Shakey it looks like time for this to go in.

Just a few bits to fabricate and away we go.

After we get it up and running will strip the other one right down and see what we can find

Bugger, at least you have a Plan "B".

I know where there are a couple of "spare" 400 blocks if need be...

Nice try, Chap; I think you have had a good few seasons out of that one...one careful owner my arse

It had an unlimited 5 minute guarantee when you bought it

Good luck with the new motor - HRD's ????

Pete you can't blame a man for trying

Not the HRD's, the next championship round is the Open Sports on the bank holiday weekend. I am currently 2nd in the shakey super gas championship so would like to get there even though the car will be totally different

Darren (1stpop) asked if we needed any help, could you make up a bit of tin to put the fuel cell on for the water meth injection? we asked.

This is a bit of tin from Darren
