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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slutters Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi guys Thanks for all the nice comments. 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. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
