1y in and running - what a change

Post by thehosepipe »

Its fantastic! I cant believe how much difference its made. A (very high top) van that barely made 65 before, and then only under the right conditions, can now hold 70 even on slight inclines. Real cruising speed is well up, and the 5 speed box makes 68-70 sounds pretty relaxed.

Highly recommended.

Does take time though if you havent done it before. Hire a good hydraulic engine hoist and expect to keep it for the whole time. Makes life a lot easier, most of the swapping of bits I did was with the engine hanging from the hoist.
