craggsy 91 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thats what im thinking Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 think the spacer and one metal gasket from vince is about £150 ?? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Just one gasket needed then plus spacer?What CR would that give Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 well im using two one either side to give me 8.0 CR i think that is a bit low but hay ho ... u can use one just split the layers apart and use one layer either side as far as i`ve been told ... jim be a good man to talk to cos hes using a spacer and one gasket .... JIM u about ?? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 8s a bit low for NA really as thats how it'll stay for a while with how money is Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 think im goin to pull the head back off mine over the winter and use just one as mine has a slight leak any way ... ur prob best staying standard CR but put ARPs on if you can afford them then if you go fi it will only cost you the price of the spacer and gaskets ... oh and labour to do it lol Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thats why im think sort CR out now then anything else is basicly bolt on. Tried finding details on what CR Pete had, but he did use low comp pistons tho' Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 yeah i wanted to go the piston route but the supplier let me down .... spacer is just cheaper eaiser way of lowering CR ... so just rite for you hehe lol Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Pistons could be the route later if things head that way, but that would be a bottom end rebuild tho to keep me happy Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 and thats when it starts to get expensive .... £650 for pistons then bearings and labour ££££bit of a hi jack here sorry dave lol he must be thinkin ... by eck im well popular me ah duck .... lol Link to post Share on other sites
