Re: Mpi

Don't think the forum is dead, mightn't be the hive of activity it used to be, but there are still people posting and reading posts. If you are looking for instant answers then there are a myriad of Facebook pages you can try but you'll generally get more opinions than you ask for and some ridicule ...

Re: Ciarans 1380 Cooper

You need to use a third party hosting site, photobucket is still available but is now a subscription service, there are other websites that are still free, you could try postimage.org for example.

Re: My new build

I've edited your post there Geoffory.

When posting photos from Postimage.org use the "Direct Link" address and the "Img" option on the forums Post a Reply box . This gives full size photos in your reply rather than a redirect thumbnail link to the host website.

Re: main bearings 1275

There are different bearings for A and A+ blocks, changes in late 1983, sound like you have ordered or been sent the wrong ones. What year is your engine ?
