Hi Jason
Did you get a head gasket sorted. Obviously you are using one. I mean the one i recommended.
You have got one fitted haven't you. ( just checking ) 
Cheers Matt

Matt,
I managed to source a gasket that was exactly the same as the one that came off. I know there were probably cheaper or easier to get hold of options
that would do exactly the same job but I just went for consistency.
I even went through all the spare valves I had to make sure I found one that was exactly the same weight as the very slightly bent one that I needed
to replace.
Compression is now much improved with all cylinders within 5 psi of each other when cold. It was a bit late to run it up to temp last night so I need
to do that, then re-torque the head and finally measure the compression again when hot.
What sort of compression figures should we be aiming for or is that "close to the chest" information?
Cheers
Jason

Hi all,
After watching the last race at Mallory last year, we're hoping to come down for the weekend to watch & get some decent photos. Would be
great to catch some of the action! 
Even tempted to risk the rain for a drive down in the Indy...
See you there,
Francis.

Hi
Mark this getting serious. Taking time of work. Next it will be midweek testing.
It dose make sense and will put Rays mind at rest during qualifying. Darn that's one more i have to try and pass.
Cheers Matt

Hi
The weather report is looking a lot better if you prefer the sun / dry weather. Well except for Saturday night anyhow.
For those who enjoy the damp / wet racing i may be doing a rain dance sometime tonight. Mind i haven't fully recovered from 8 pints and my
attempts at dancing from the previous Saturday. So maybe not then
Cheers Matt
