Hopefully I should have the engine rebuilt and in for the weekend, and then down to pod for the japshow the weekend after:3gears-rh

well done chap,its amazing what you can do in such a short time.  Fantastic effort on pulling the engine and getting it stripped that quickly, just take yer time on rebuild and hopefully ready for the Pod.  My car was away 2-3 weeks getting a rebuild, mind you think he went to japan to get all the bits, had a holiday while he was there and then panicked for the last two days !!! lol

so if these tips dont break does it make the engine indestructable from detonation?,  what do they do if they dont break?  warp?

[rx jamie]

the way i understand it is the yes, they warp/twist instead of shatter or chip.

a few pics of \' unbreakable tips\' in the link below

here is PTS Website, PROs if it does what it says on the tin then they look good CONs they are pricy but cheaper then Ceramics

Also you HAVE to use premix with these seals

[antnicuk]

so if they warp the engine still needs rebuilding but they wont damage your turbo or housings??

I didnt think they were that expensive,  circa £500 a set

[BlitzBoy]

yes thats what they guarantee, I suppose if they do bow or bend and you are able to bend them back and re use them then it will work out cheaper

[banned advertiser]

more like £565 plus shipping and duty

[rx jamie]

you can get cheaper versions if you shop around. they are pretty much the same.  made out of the same/similar metal.

its running again.

ready for pod tomorrow:3gears-lh
