Useful info about upgraded release bearing...

it's quite simple to do, it's just a little pricey, because LUK one is £137. there are cheaper ones, but that sort of design relies on quality. Then you need to buy another thrust bearing for the other part.

LOL - mot time....not great. It's impoosible to get through mot's. I've just rebuilt the engine, completely refixed and sealed the exhaust system. Installed a brand new cat. Using aftermarket ecu so i can change everything as the test is going on...it still took 45mins to get it through it's emmisions....wtf. I hate these cars....even other rally cars can get through mot's easier. I reckon it's either to do with the cam timing being that they never really close...or it's because the cat is so far back.

In the end i was dumping fuel to the exhaust system, heating the cat red hot, then leaning it out to 0.97 at 2100rpm and it just just crept in.
