Steel tres étrange zat you did not spot it running dahn zee sahd uv zee engine top!! 🤣 🤣

Euh, 'allo 'Allo!!!

I remember quite a while back reading about a uber-tough phone in a LR magazine they tested it to real extremes and it put up with it. Things like strapping it to a Defender wheel and going off road wiv it, floods, the lot. Made by JCB or someone? I'll have to check. CBA to go through them...

... which is why it isn't clever to swop the lifters around!! Camshafts are fascinating things. I had a member of my club who designed his own cam and had it ground to his spec by Kent or Someone. It ran fine. I put a high torque cam in a Pinto engine, it too ran brilliant but ran out of puff...

Don't think she's much into the latest fashion. Mayeb he's got her some more copper!!! 🤣🤣🤣

You'll have noticed we are not at "Rock and Cars". W has to keep her foot up and off it, and I am not trying to wheel her around a town crowded with peeps. I had the devils own job getting her from the parked car to the chemist's yessdi. No dropped kerbs, potholes in the pavement, stuff you only...

Nitriding or summat maybe, but they would all need to be treated or they would all wear out in nothing flat. usually heat treament, induction heating for instance. And as mentioned above they have to be run in properly with the special lubricant.

This tells us a bit more about V8 cams, bit off topic though. https://www.v8forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9405

3.5 engines were renowned for getting through cam shafts. No idea why though.

Well I think we have given him some good ideas of where to go with it.

For thos who watch "Repair Shop"...

That'll go down like a lead balloon! ;)

Not knocking South Korea in the slightest. Just that postage and customs can really take the pea. I was quoted £1.65 for a bolt that keeps the oil pump on and £20 odd for postage from the UK to France. So from the UK to SK may well be an absolute fortune.

Wonder how easy it is to get this stuff in South Korea.

I did call a member of staff over to be sure the box we were looking at DID have all we needed in it. small print is SO ageist, don't you think? 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣 Sorry just cannot get the picture of you opening your wallet and the moths flying out, out of my head!!! Do tell us about what yer got!!! Wot you got her for her buffday?? Expensive month for you this time around! ;););)

Vera is a new member then? Aloe from me too then! 🤣🤣🤣

Use Clinique sunscreen and aftersun, nothing better. It is also "apply and forget". In fact you'll have a job washing it off. I used to burn to a crisp until W made me get some. (She worked for a company that made at least one of the ingredients so she used to get a freebie bag once in a while.)...

Sorry! "Buy"!!!! If I were you I'd lie down until I felt better!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Last time, this tip was with carpet! 🤣 🤣 🤣
