My issue is that when I am accelerating, when I reach 4000rpm the tacho launches to 8000 rpm for a second and the engine jumps a little. The hotter the day the worse it is and doesn'...

Knox is ok. They make them oversize so you have to trim them. But make sure you tell them to make the firewall end 15cm longer so it goes all the way up. I conplained about that

Re: REVS
He is talking about tacho not actual revs I think?
Just sounds like a loose wire
Check the wires on the negative side of the coil and fiddle with the wires up behind the dash.
Also just try tapping it while engine on to see if it's stuck

Re: 4g32 wrong head?
It's just weird how I filled them with solvent and poked with a screwdriver and they didn't drain. Possible that they used the same cast but didn't drill them out?

Re: GA brake trouble
they are completely different ratios
I had this problem, it was that the master wasnt retracting all the way to allow the piston to open up the return valve. I put a washer between the master and the booster on both bolts and all sweet now

Re: 2 years later its happening.
Thinking maybe after I apply the rust paint to the Bonnet I might look at keeping the Centre risen bit bare metal laquered or a cold gal or hammered finish. Unsure
