I found the single wiper on mine to be very useless lol. I got a storm single wiper kit, fitted it all ok but it just doesnt wipe enough of the screen.

I have a 16" blade on it which is the longest you can use without it hitting the pillars. But this just leaves loads on the top corners and top of the windscreen un-cleared.

hellooo people,

in need of some help, ive recently fitted a flame performance inlet manifold and noticed my car has be chugging out blue smoke, burning oil? ive had the headgasket done along with new stem seals and lambda sensor around 12000 miles ago.

It smoked before i put the inlet manifold on, but is now slowly getting worse, are we talking piston rings? how much will it cost to change them, or is it cheaper to just get a new engine?

Also noticed before my car felt asthough it was running slow and restricted.???

help will be greatly appreciated as always

Charlton.

my car was burning oil and piston rings went on it so it may have a bit oil residue in the inlet??????

sounds like piston rings, don't get a new engine what you will pay for the new engine that could go the same way in a few miles, you might aswell just repair this one again so you know its mint

sounds good, nice to see a smallblock actually getting fixed for once rather then just changed for a big block engine
