I really can't understand the addiction with them...or is that everyone's lives are so empty nowadays that they have nothing else? Now let me qualify this - I'm no saint, I own a smartphone and do look at it from time to time but never when I'm: - Driving - Talking to someone face to face -...

That sucks big time. I hope you let the idiot other driver know what an asshole he is.

It's a Chinese knock-off, the internet is full of them. Notice in the description it says " for Edelbrock Thunder Series". This will be the legal loophole to avoid any accusations of false advertising or copyright. DO NOT BUY. There's plenty of reviews on youtube. Everything will look similar...

I don't think 15" is an issue on an old engine if the needle is steady and the car idles and drives ok. Have you tried spraying carb cleaner on the sides of the manifold where you believe it is leaking? Do it while the engine is running obviously - if the idle rpm increases then you have a leak.

When I commented there were no facts about what happened, just the photos. Knowing now he was drunk and almost killed the home onwer, then better if it was a solid wall or a structural post and the guy sitting in his recliner was unhurt.

Lights still on, looks like something out of Christine. Lucky it was only weatherboard, not brick.

Michael, you bought a vacuum gauge recently, right? Have you hooked it up yet - that should clearly show if your intake isn't sealing. When I recently had a minor internal oil leak on my intake, where one plug would always foul, the vacuum reading looked good except the needle had a tiny...

The more I read the more convinced I am that this is an installation problem. And nobody needs a spare OEM Cast Iron Intake Manifold "on the shelf". You're just throwing your money away. If time is really of the essence then buy an Edelbrock Performer intake and whack it on there while you...

Well if you read my post you would know that it was the intake manifold gaskets and it's fixed. The only thing the car smokes is the tires.

How have you determined that the intake manifold is warped? Cast iron manifolds don't warp easily to the best of my knowledge. It's more likely been like that since it was cast or was installed poorly. Regardless, why don't you just remove it, and get it machined flat, or determine the amount...

Maybe he's sleeping...it is night time in Germany.

Exactly. No need for a witch-hunt until we know all the facts.

I read that, but I thought it would be fair to see some correspondence between them first about what the part is and why it hasn't been sent. Money sent but not received, confusion over address and subsequent postage costs, illness etc. I've read enough online reviews and responses from the...

That's a real dog act to do that to someone, especially if they are overseas. More info required for sure, but maybe don't name them just yet, give them a chance to read this thread once you explained your side and reply with their version of events?

Yes, Ross forged pistons. I'd have preferred a bit lower to be honest, I have to be careful with the timing to avoid detonation. I'm considering a bigger cam to help. Scat forged crank, Scat rods, spent a lot of money on this engine. Made 341hp at the wheels on the chassis dyno but if I'd have...

Yes it was, but not any more.

Ferris Bueller been borrowing the car?

Update: it wasn't the valve stem seals, it was leaking oil from the intake manifold. I had the Fel Pro steel shim gaskets and they don't seal very well. I removed the intake to port it and used some Best Gaskets composite ones when reinstalling. I've checked the plug after probably 1,000kms and...

Timing chain cooked?
