:D Cheers mate, that's a kind offer.

 

noticed you drilled/tapped the cam covers for the breathers.

did you manage to get a nice thread on it bud ? thought it was thin in that place

 

I used a 1/2NPT thread, its such a large thread it easily seals, you get a good 3/4 thread's but as the fitting is so large it's got a large surface area. I used threadlock also, i have no leaks at all so far! :)

Hi guys

 

Thanks for all the nice comments. :D

 

To answer a few questions:

 

Mapping has been finished, made a touch over 600BHP, was mapped at TDI South by Sam on there hub dyno.

 

Number plate is going to be moved to the bumper at some point, there was a chip on the bonnet and the numberplate was a quick way to hide it. :D

 

Crank pully is a lightweight aluminum one that was balanced with the engine.

 

The inserts in the bumper is the ducting i made for the twin oil coolers and air filter duct. The mesh is to protect the oil cooler.
