My CR may even be as high as 10.6:1 after realising I had been using the wrong piston dish volumes for the calculation..

Re: Cat Cams

OBX AW11 header

I'm looking for an OBX or similar header for the AW11 MR2

Postage to the UK will obviously be quite pricey, but let me know what you have got.

Re: proposal for a "better clutch disc"

I've got a 16v Fidanza flywheel

The 2ZZGE clutch fits the 16v components :)

Don't know if the clutch is any stronger, i've not run my engine in long enough to test it out properly.

Re: 4AGE Rebuild

We used an abrasive compound on the rear lights, so cut into the plastic, then mopped it and polished it after. Took majority of the scratches out.

It's up and running now.

Have suspension issues that occurred before I took the car off the road, so have to sort them out now :(

Re: Head Gasket on Bored Cylinders

I bought a Cometic 82mm 1.0mm thick gasket from the USA as it took significantly less time importing it from there to the UK - £50 cheaper as well!

I had to use a thinner one to increase my compression.

Re: Water pump woes

I've been sent a rwd pump from the supplier I bought it from.

Unfortunately on the website the pump for the AE86 is the same for the AW11 - AW11 has a FWD pump.

I've just rebuilt my engine - I'm not totally retarded to put my pulley on the other way around - I've seen it before you know!!
