Some words of wisdom mr Mr Blydenstein

[tomstickland]

Head update! It's on the way, meanwhile Mr Billy man sent me some info. Interesting points are:
"..contrary to popular belief - a highly polished cylinder head or clean exhaust manifold does not promote engine efficiency..."
"...as they tend to cause:
1) Extra heat loss
2) Loss of swirl
3) Lower compression ratio"
"...maximum power and efficiency will be reached when the cylinder head has covered 3000 - 5000 miles..."

Also an article on oil changes.
"all the best engines, to date, have been those in which the oil is changed at or around 3,000 mile intervals. Exceptional ones are often high mileage cars (100,000 miles plus), with enthusiastic and fastidious ownder who dislike dirty engine oil".

All good stuff.

i change mine at 3000, or every 4 months

Billy knows his stuff!

We rang him just to ask him some questions (a bit cheeky!) and he was really helpful. He suggested a new cylinder head I should use on my 1.4 8v Nova lump, and god-damn he was right! (Not one of his modded ones, so he didn't try and sell anything to us like a conman would)

Yeah he's a very knowledgable and helpful. We should vote him top honest vauxhall tuning scrote. It makes such a change from PMC and ahem and the others. PMC in particular seem to employ lying kids who always say "yeah that'll be amazing" when they don't even know what they're talking about half of the time. Alledgedly.

I have spoken to bill many a time about this and that and have a lot of his information here, the work he does is the best for heads and he knows so much about the vaux heads

This lass I once knew was really good at headwork and she'd never ask anything in return.

Top burd!
