Diesel Gas

I'm just interested to know what will let go first?

Someone mentioned spinning a big end

I was talking to a Poozer driver on the weekend and he seemed to think the same thing. Apparently Cruisers have a similar problem with the turboed engines

He seemed to think a new set of big ends every 100,000 would be a good idea

Bear in mind I am only running about 18psi at max boost spiking to close to 20psi and rarely going over 700 degrees on the pyro

What are everyones thoughts?

G/Day Mate, From what i've seen its usually The Missus that lets go first, If you play to much with your TDI !!.

You can block the bypass hole in the rad tank and that makes a supprising amount of difference in cooling. Pat
