Some great info chaps thanks.
On a side issue, only recently I've noticed a heavy petrol smell every time I floor the throttle , I haven't investigated yet but any ideas? This is just the carb, no turbo set up yet!

Keep an eye out Thursday this week for next edition, it should explain how he has converted 2 lotus 907 twin cam heads and bolted them on, same bore spacing apparently! Awesome stuff.

i had something a little similar, turned out to be the splash guards inside the rocker covers catching on rockers, noise increases when revved, worth a quick check by whipping covers off

I can definately feel the pull on the pump though the drill, it spun loosely then suddenly kicked back and now there is really good resistance there. I would just have expecte...
