Hi guys-so after 70miles since engine rebuild I removed plug out to check the colour of it hoping for some indication of how the engine is running (lean/reach) and I'm slightly concerned that it might be running lean.
What's your opinion?IMG_9088.jpg
Peter they look fine to me. Stop worrying they actually look good fella. Get the mileage under your belt and enjoy it. Happy driving. The car looks so good from then you got it

Hahaha,thank you buddy,they look to me like running hot/lean and i already have a vision of pistons melting down to the sump-you know me
I know exactly how you feel Peter. I am in roughly the same position as you, lots of time and money spent and paranoid about lean running/detonation. I have now done just over 1000 miles and find the more miles you do the less you worry. I have my car booked in at Automark for mapping so that should take care of my lean running fears. I can then start worrying about the gearbox.
I have an AFR gauge and exhaust temp gauge which helps with the fear factor but doesn't eliminate it. I even made some det cans but sadly don't have the ability to decipher the different sounds.

Haha-I'm glad I'm not the only one then.
If you did booked with Mark I'm sure you will stop worrying completely .

Software is custom mapped by PRJ. I've changed inlet and exhaust since mapping, so used this to check all is OK.

Hi Jeff
Look forward to hearing the results after the Automark map. Are you keeping current chips as spares? Done anything else to the car? Will catch up with you again soon.
Cheers
Simon
