Re: Turbo's forevah
It reccons 1.6 bar so probably not too long. That cam in head motor was pretty good though, although I managed to break mine at 120000.
The "400" motor I replaced it with was much better though. Far more power and only lost about 2mpg.

1.6 bar? Fucking hell, I imagine the CR has been lowered a fair chunk then?

Re: Turbo's forevah
a fair bit!! By my reckoning He would have had to take about 1/8" off the piston tops and fit 2 gaskets. Fortunately the cam drive is tripplex chain so should be ok there.Mind you they were £22, 30 years ago. You would probably need a mortgage now.
As far as I can remember the cr was only about 8:1 in standard form and produced about 104 BHP.
So you could say a rise of 50% was a bit drastic!!!72... AND STILL ROCKIN..........around the world...... NOT in a chair yet
