Of what?
I just didn't get the thread. Was a pic of an engine and specs. Could read that on eBay.
What's the plans? What car is it going in? When is it all happening etc?

Sorry must point out £75 oil pump? Can't be genuine part sure you can trust that at big power?
Missed the steel inner gear lol (people tend to stray away from after market oil pumps as their not up to standard

Nice.
Ric Wood is a bit of a cock tho. Went to a rolling road day there and he basically said every car that ran was shit. Doesnt like Vauxhalls it seems! He also fucked up the BTCC engines for Rob Austin.
His workshop is impressive though! Had a full showround.

I've managed to smash a genuine gm pump to bits. possibly done 2 now. high rpm destroy the gears obviously as you say the steel gear.
