Re: Exhaust studs

After a bit of messing around, It seems that the threads in my head for the exhaust are not 10 x 1.25, but 10 x 1.5, it did seem a bit ambitious expecting a fine pitch bolt to hold in alloy.

Re: cam driven distributor

If you are just using it for a trigger wheel why not get rid of the dizzy altogether? Use a crank trigger wheel. Right now I am developing a flywheel that will have an integrated trigger wheel on the back. The sensor will be hidden under the timing belt cover. It would actually be pretty perfect fo...

oil pipes

Heres another 4Age novice question, RWD drive Blocks, ae86, on the side of my block I have 2 stem pipes, both coming out of the block near the oil filter, I am assuming these are cooler pipes, (the MR2 block does not appear to have these,) can they be capped off? or will this stop oil circulation?

Re: 20V rising RPM when up-shifting
