iv been thinking, and i might look into re building the cylinder head of my C20XE maybe send it away have it ported and polished and then lap the valves in again and maybe look into getting a set of cams for it, not sure what cams fit without using pocketed pistons tho, and vernier pulleys, and possibly a lightened flywheel and 4 paddle clutch, but again im uncertain as to whats a direct replacement... iv also got a set of these in the shed but if i was to fit them then that means buying a manifold, and then another exhaust cam aswell as a distributor, and then paying to have them set up and jetted etc etc which is alot of hastle :(

yerr i might pop to a salvage yard monday that used to have a couple of redtops on shelves along with other engines and i swore one of them was the old type with a dizzy and with a coscast head, hmm i'l have to check them out, they probably wont want to split them so i might end up buying another redtop engine just for the head even though it would be cheaper than buying one on the 'redtop market'

after talking to paige on xbox live last night she got me thinking, so i got on and did this today :lol:

pulling the bump strips off, and i thought i'd take a photo incase anyone else has this problem but here i had a white patch in the clear laquer

Image

so i got my mums hair dryer that i bought her for christmas :lol:

Image

and it turned out like this :D it only took about 25 seconds, but its a powerfull hair dryer so i guess itl range with how good your hair dryer / heat gun is.

Image

and her's a final picture with the one side off :)

actually mate no. you HAVE to invest in a toffie wheel, you can get them of ebay and omg i removed the whole side strips in like 15minutes, but had to take a break as my arms were getting heavy from holding the drill tight against the car for so long :lol: then give it use either t-cut or what i used g3 compound and give it a hell of a polish up, then take a look for any white bits in the paint and get the hair dryer on it and heat them up until the condensation disappears :D then a coat of polish and bobs your uncle and fann*s you aunt its done :D
