Got the car back together today after changing clutch and lightening the flywheel ect,,, been out in it and great but,,, why if the engine is switched off and cooled slightly then fired up I have a blow somewhere near manifold to downpipe (can't be sure as its dark) but once she warms up a bit the blow stops??

Metal expands when hot so it closes the hole.

You know Lee, I said that as a theory to my girlfriend earlier but never experienced it before...
Rav, I fitted new triangle gaskets mate but maybey just maybey lol,, I've left a nut loose. It pickled my head earlier on.
Will be getting under the bitch tomoro first thing, was quiet embarassing after entering the local with a touch of tail out, flame spitting, 6 pot sexyness action only to fire up to leave 10 mins later and she's bloody blowing!! Like I say though, 2 mins and no blow.

Problem solved, 2 of the 3 nuts on one of the downpipe flanges did the off so only one left..!
I did nip the little buggers up although not going to crazy incase the studs snapped but there we go ay lol. New nuts fitted and thread locked so these bitches aint going nowhere
