Well i know cabbies never do them in their 800,000km AND i will tell that if i like because there is NO comparison between the AU gasket and any other.

you can recommend a parmeseal if you like. but it will be a servicable item every 50k

i am not saying that they aren't a good gasket,i am saying that they are not indestructible and will go after time.

Hi

Another point to note is that while the EA ECU will run the engine with the BBM on it, the switching function of the BBM won't happen. If you want it to work like it should, you need to source an EL ECU and a smartlock bypass module. Add a couple of pins to the ECU plug and run them through the firewall to a BBM solenoid, along with the vac setup.

Cheers

cabbies get 800,000ks out of their engines because they never turn the bloody things off. Nothing is indestructable, ask Casey Stoner. Sure way to kill a moving part is to heat it up and cool it down many times over.
