Scotty! I used Cometics on my last RV8 build. When I had finished with them we chucked them onto my Sons Escort RV8. Those gasket came off and back on at least 5 times while we swapped them from engine to engine as we blew our poop up on the 1/4 mile. Even with being re used many times they never le...

I've had this before on a block that had helicoils fitted in the block for the head studs. The Helicoils were all at various angles. It was nightmare to get it sorted as I had to open out the bolt holes in the heads by 3mm?

The filler expanded to the point where it split the ally block both sides around each middle core plug. The filler, when mixed with water looked j...
