Re: Noisey rockers

I may be wrong but are these settings not to make sure your valves open the correct amount, So if hot and expanded if you set them same as cold your valve would be opened further than spec.

So your hot size is a larger gap so that when metal items expand the valv e only opens correct amount.

M20 Turbo parts

Where in UK is best place to source parts for Turbo mod, i.e. bigger injectors etc.

I can find these in US but shipping & import taxes make this to expensive.

Thx.

If he says car is located at eBay's Shipping Center in Switzerland why does it appear in the pic in the UK with UK number plates on other cars in the street.

I had these side by side it it was quiet noticable that the turrets seem to sit tilted further towards back. But again maybe this...
