OK, update with pics! Top half of IM (still attached to engine), if you look closely you can see the screws that are still on the butterfly rail: Bottom half of IM, if you look closely you can see the butterflies sitting in there: Butterflies and screws recovered from the bottom half of the...

Well, my ticking ended up being VICS related. The ticking must have been a loose butterfly moving around, the engine let go in fine fashion: 1 - Started misfiring, replaced plugs and leads and all was good. 2 - A few weeks later a spark plug blew out of the head, thread repaired and all was...

Will you let us know your results when you change then isbre?

My SP20 (Protege5) makes this exacts same noise. A friend reckons that it's the valve clearance (I'm not convinced), I have checked this and there are a few that are a little out of spec but have not had time to get replacement shims organised to fix them up. When I get around to it I will...

I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather not have hot oil pumping into the cabin of my car if it could be avoided...

Unlucky, you'll get it next time! Love the silver by the way, we don't get that option down under...

From the looks of the pics in the conversion we would need to remove the filter mount to be able to get a T-piece onto the filter mount If converting to the screw type filter couldn't a sandwich plate adapter be used? Has anyone contemplated doing the conversion to their cars? {EDIT -...

Also interested in this, anyone given it a go?

It most certainly IS stock... Thread from the dead I know, I just popped in to trying to find a post where redms3gt says what make his gauges are and came across this... The BOV sounds seem to be missing from the first run which would lead you to think that it might have been the rotary in the...
