sounds daft, but have you tested HT leads?

although i have used the castrol, i'm now on carlube 5/40 motorbike oil... http://www.carlube.co.uk/4-stroke/carlube-4-stroke-fully-synthetic-motorcycle-oil

put some decent motorbike oil in there. castrol power 1 4T or similar.

how about a subaru justy conversion? its got the awd set-up!

just wrap some paper towel around the pipe ends. stops any un-necessary spillages into your engine bay!

the fireblade has a compression ratio of 12.3:1 as standard and ours had a 0.45mm head skim. and yes, you have to map it correctly for the RON you're using. more octane is more resistance to detonation.

we did back to back tests on a honda CBR1000RR (set up and modified for National Superstock 1000 racing) from 2009 on a dyno with tesco 95 unleaded and 98 "super" unleaded. its made 177.49bhp at the wheel with 95 octane, and on 98 octane, made 177.77bhp. with mapping for the 98 octane fuel, it...

you can get that service kit for much cheaper if you go to eurocarparts..... fuel and oil filter cost me £10 together.......

easiest job in the world. undo the hoses, unclip it from its mount, put the hoses on the new one, clip it in place!

yeah i thought as much! bang the rods in the oven for an hour or so then! would it be possible for me to head down to you at some point to use the tool?

i definitely need to use/borrow/rent these at some point. ive been talking about doing the piston swop for well over a year now! still considering new big end bearings, but have a block, new head gasket and bolts etc..... how happy are the gudgeon pins after theyve been pushed out? i guess...

sorry frank, i meant a tool for the gudgeon pins. i thought you had a cylinder the piston sat in so you dont damage it pushing the pin out. awesome halflink by the way! those piston rings seem to have disappeared from ebay!!! although its a while since i looked for them.

can get piston rings for £55 on ebay. not sure on quality though! Frank, do you still have a tool for the job?

but also putting new head gasket, new head bolts etc.

thats what i'm doing..... the trouble is getting the gudgeon pins out without damaging the pistons.....

of course Frank... not a k11! surely its got some form of cooling fluid though?

check power steering fluid. if its low, it could be overheating and very thin..... could give "light" steering feel.....

best bet is 195s. when i bought my 15s, they had 205/45/15 on and scrubbed a little. now ive got 195/50/15 toyo t1-r s and they dont scrub. almera gti alloys :) also, the 195/50/15 toyo t1-r is the cheapest thing you can buy thats any good! £35 odd quid on demontweeks, and theyre epic!

when i had to remove, i left mine to soak in a mixture of double TT (carplans equivalent of WD40) and 3-in-1. overnight. taped a plastic bag around them and filled them to the top of the bolthead on the cat. i just kept applying mix on a brush to the underneath bolt. always use 6-sided sockets...

it can be done without removing the exhaust yes. they aren't interference fit, but it will make it more awkward. i just use instant gasket for the sump etc. only use a proper original gasket for the head.
