dunno if it will run on leaded, i have an unleaded head. i am also really eager to see the end result  seen similar engine set up in the dyno run section of mini world and that achieved 154 bhp at 6926 rpm and 147 lb/ft 5736 rpm id be well impressed if mine got anywhere near these figures however id be happy with a 130bhp but would be disapointed with less lol matt |

well yes and no been down the road in it and its well rapid loving the straight cuts. had to stop rolling road half way through cos the cylinder head is new and needs bedding in, apparently one the valves was pinching sounded like hitting the rev limiter stuart said it would be best to put a couple of hundred miles on it to wear it in so it currently set to 100 hp and kicking out a good 124 ftlbs of torque but he reckons i should see 130-135 hp so unfortunately now rolling road this weekend for me soooooooooorry

spent the day making a start sorting my interior out. bought some acoustic carpet on ebay and a brand new mini carpet set out of the friday ad for £15 :)bargain so took seats out and steering wheel so i had plenty of room to move. my car didn't have a headliner so iv decide to glue carpet to it to tidy it up i was abit worried at first as i thought it would either look crap or ok, but i think it looks alright anyway heres some pics    just got the front carpet to do matt |
