    Yeah, you do need to test it, and the more local the better, Camber on the Lydd road is a perfect spot, dog lovers will love you, I actually got caught once many years ago driving my Range Rover on the dunes at camber, While stuck too :( they were most upset, something about dunes were protected and conservation, said balls to that the wind blows around everyday, they are never the same.

    It will be a secret test , I'm afraid. Another guy that is racing at Pendine, has good contacts there. But if there is a chance of allowing observers I'll post on here.

    Had a bit of time in the garage today. I donned my thermals and decided with a bit of encouragement to grind the tops off the valve guides and blend them into the head. Mainly used small emery tubes on my Dremel , but had to resort to small grinding wheels at one point to remove enough steel from the valve guides. A bit more work to do , but I was sneezing too much and my snot was freezing on the end of my nose.

    Managed to blend most of the ally around the stems , but need a bit more alloy removal before they're finished.
