Hi Jibbby, The Jags seem to suffer also from overheating from what i have heard, the small water pipes tend to block at the bends and then no water gets through, also very common for the pipes taking fuel to the rear of the injectors to fail, result instant fire, not sure if the BMW has the same...

V12 V V8 Hi John, I would have to agree with you, i have been a passenger in three Countach replicars, the first had a stock Jag v12 and the second had a 1uz, and the third a seriously worked sbc at 500hp, the Jag motor definately had smoother power delivery, more torque,and really sounded the...

hi Elliotaw, Yes that would make the job easier, for years i have used a old manual hand drill, just grab the stem and turn back and forth and lift every now and then, done in no time at all,and there is nothing like the seal you get when you do the job manually with Valve paste Regards Lambo
