I was going to order an Aviad GT40 replica Oil pan to replace my Armando, I like them as are only 6.5 inches deep so the bottom sat flush with my SGT floor, unfortunately, they now want over $400 for shipping, which is almost doubles the cost. Can anyone recommend an alternative? Thanks Nick

I live in hope someone has a solution that does not involve removing the gearbox and engine but fear the worst. As can be seen from the video, gearbox in neutral, push the clutch in, strange noise which seems to come from the gearbox, revs drop and engine will eventually stall unless clutch is...

Just wondering what this hole is for as my gasket covers it. Thanks Nick

Unfortunately I have never had anyone to teach me how to do some simple things properly, file a straight line etc. So now I need advice on what tools to use and correct procedure on how to make a good job of cutting out the middle. Thanks Nick

I am after some advice as there appears to be quiet a big discrepancy between the header temperatures of cylinders 5-8 compared to 1-4. A quick search of Google produced opposing opinions with some saying it is not important and difficult to tell at idle, whilst others disagreed. I bought a...

Hi, I had cause to remove my water pump connections which may have proved fortuitous as it appears as though I had some brain fade when first connecting it up. Could you please confirm where the connector arrowed in the picture should connect to. Thanks
