Great to meet you too Dodgy and thanks again for getting me out of the shit with the 02 sensor - although is pretty irrelevant now anyway! Apologies for not being able to spend longer chatting - I was running around like a blue ass fly yesterday. :)

 

Bob, would love to buddy. I reckon I could of given the VSOS a shot myself (with the right tools), but lack of garage and mainly a lack of time means I would of had no chance of getting this done in time for the Dragonball mate.

 

If I can't get her ready for the Dragonball, you are welcome to have the two tickets my mate and I had paid for buddy FOC. I know you said you were skint and couldn't afford this, so if I can't go, you deserve the chance! ;)

 

Thanks,

 

Greg

im nowhere near as in the know as the turbofit team but..

 

how does a problem lead down to valve stem seals if it doesent smoke on startup or a blip of the accelerator after a bit of idling?

 

Good to meet you, briefly yesturday greg :)

Thanks Pete - here's hoping mate. :)

 

Ric, good to meet you too and again, apologies. I think Bob explained what can cause the difference in smoking on the VSOS on the following thread:

Looks like different seals can cause different symptoms, i.e. ones left open overnight where the oil can leak through causing smoke on startup, or a slightly weak seal that perhaps shows itself whilst on the run for 15mins or so - who knows!!!?

gutted for you mate!

 

hope you and TF manage to get her fixed! and dont sell!!

 

thanks for the blast too :)

 

cheers steve

 

No problems Steve and thanks mate. Sorry I couldn't give you a real blast, was just a bit wary about the oil exiting my exhaust and frying something else!

 

Next time though I'll hopefully have a well setup BPU++ that I'll give you a run in. Still, you can appreciate the TT power :)
