you went throught 3 brand new afm\'s . holy s*** ! that some bad luck!
so the 4th afm had no problem after changing the air filter to a non oiled.
am I the only one that finds this to be impossible
because the internet says so? Its bollocks fella
weres is your proof of this other than you saing you went through how ever many afms.
of which I bet they were seccond hand?
k&n oiled all the way . clean re-oil and away ya go.
im pretty sure a $20 ripco filer is more likely to let crap through. and the purpose of the oil is to trap dirt no?
you shoulda seen the crap that got past the factory paper one on my mazda that was a bit scary
looking to get a set of oversized valves for my build . want to change out the sodium filled ones.
my supplier cant get v3/4 ones eaisly , ive sent a coupple of emails away but thought id check on here.
supertech part numbers
SEVI-1014 Inconel (exhaust valves 1mm oversized)
SIVN-1014 (intake valves 1mm oversized)
get v3/4 head gaskets, there\'s calculators on google but you want gaskets that go with heads.
been done by many people including myself
v3/4 heads have a volume of 46cc but youll have to measure the block you have to get the other info if you want to calculate it
there commonly half a tooth out on the top left gear (i think) haven\'t done one in a while .
if its more then half out its incorrect . but once installed , pin pulled and engine rotated a few times they tend to come closer.
even more common when putting v7 heads onto closed deck blocks and shiizz like that because of deck , head specs and gasket used
armstrongs would be my first place to ask. even if you ring the chch branch leighton is a good basterd and if you mention clubsub he may sort you out .
if there to expensive then go somewhere else but if you can stretch the $$$
bnt do the copies unsure of cost but deff cheaper than genuine.
tbh id stick with genuine , ive had 2 sets of cometic ones fail on me in around the last year (the rivets that hold the layers together would foul also : )
but if being used on a standard car then you shouldn\'t have issues with whatever you use i would think
I was thinking of doing it a while ago makeine a high reving short stroke suby. similar to the swifts.... being under 1800cc you dont need a rectrictor for rally ect
