After almost losing another engine last night, I'm putting in oil & fuel pressure gauges.

Can anyone get this cheaper than retail. (cause I'm a TA :lol: )

Any help is appreciated. PM if you can help out.

Geoff, I think Deaks got a fair deal on a splitfire boost guage, fully fitted.

Ask him where that was done.

Blew the cam seals and some other gaskets/seals on the cam cover.

Oil poured out onto the manifold. Plenty of smoke coming out of the engine bay to amuse all the other motorists around me.

Lucky I was near Cromwood and Lymped it there.

Yeah, once.

Let's see. Cam seals gone/Crank Seals gone/timing belt replaced (oil all over it)

I wasn't even driving hard.

Hmmm whatever the std size is. I'll check my boost gauge as it will go where that was. I'm joining all you other wankers with a gauge on the A Pillar :lol:

Why not line them up on a angle across the front left of the bonnet, it would look fully sik. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why don't you mount the boost gauge on the steering wheel plastic thingy bit like mine is? That way you'll not have trouble from boys in blue for A pillar gauge. I can send a pic if you like.
