Yes they will fit. My bike has Grisso 2 valve rocker covers. As will the front timing cover gasket which I have also used on my engines both the V11 and the Daytona. Ciao

I'd really like to own a HP2. Ciao

You cant reskin Staintunes as they are an all welded SS muffler. Just buy a new one or get the dents pulled out and maybe some weld and grind and polish. Ciao

Is that a HP2 in the background of the first Image? Ciao

these are what you need. Don't waste your time with anything else. These metal core/base gaskets are light years ahead of anything else even fancy silicon gaskets thats why modern engines all use them where gaskets are required. May as well take advantage of new technology such as it is them being around for like 20 years. Ciao

I'd like one of the new mid engined Corvetts. How much is a kidney worth these days. Ciao

So I got tired of trying to find a paint match for the Greenie frame. Did a lot of research mainly historical here and on the interweb and anything that was suggested as really good wasnt available here so I went bugger it and got 500ml of 2 pack matched. My r/h pork chop was faded and polishing it didnt help so I thought now was the time to address it. The main frame isnt too bad and I need to paint the front frame support where I removed the horn and regulator bracket as well. Here's the result from an automotive paint supply places special machine. The top 10mm where my fingerprint is (doh) is the new paint. Good enough for me. I asked if he could cross reference what the machine came up with to a code or particular car model with the same shade. Unfortunately not. With the piece in your hand its only the surface finish due to my fingerprint that gives it away, the colour is as close to perfect as you'll get. BTW the guy didnt tell me about the wet area just handed it back to me with the tin of paint. Must be some old paint guys party trick:) Ciao

This ones AWD 6 speed manual with 260kw (350HP) and goes around corners like a gocart. Recaro shell seals and stiff suspension. Sunday drive car for the wife and I Ciao

Yes quite:) Ciao

That's the sound of big cams with lots of overlap and high compression, I love that cranky loping idle of an old fashioned performance engine. They sound ANGRY. The other thing they do is they like to rev. Old school worked engines just want to climb onto the cam and rev. Modern engines are better in just about every way imaginable but they seldom give you that hairs standing on end feeling. I'd love to get to Goodwood one day but for now I'll need to be satisfied with the best Post Classic event in the world at Phillip Island this weekend. Ex AMA multi Superbike Champ Josh hayes and his Wife ex US Supersport Champion Melissa Paris will be racing along with stars from Australia,England,New Zealand. Best part.....everyone gets to wander around the pits and chat to these guys and I get to catch up with some racing friends. looking forward to it. Cars, oh yea hears mine. Ciao

You can pull the front subframe with the engine still in. Just support the front of the engine under the sump with the front wheel still on the ground. Undo the cooler mounts and let it hang by the lines and then all the rest of course including fuel tank removal. Ciao

Pete Roper would. Ciao

Probably easier than the high cam engine into the V11. Wouldn't look as good though. How about a grisso 8 valver in a Centauro. That might work although the alternator might be an issue. Ciao

Want to know your inside seam measurement? Ciao

They only made 410 units out of a total Centauro production run of 1918 world wide so dont expect to be overwhelmed by responses. So now imagine how many of the 410 made it to the USA/Canada.If you do happen to find one just make sure its a really low mileage unit as the high wear engine parts are getting all but impossible to find and if you can get them they are stupid expensive. Of course if you're engineeringly inclined you can do just about anything but even the std stuff like main bearings etc are getting dear. Ciao

Looks much like the one fitted to my bike except full length and sealed to contain oil for the race regs. Riding around on the road they tend to collect lots of road rubbish off the back tyre even if you drill holes in the bottom. Ciao

Wouldn't want to be around the next time his wife wants to vacuum. Very,um, Utilitarian. Ciao

Seems legit Ciao

The terminology is too broad and need defining to provide an informed answer. What is "best power" ? peak power? best power curve? engine installed in the bike? engine alone on a test bench? Filters by nature are restrictors which by definition means they restrict airflow. if you end up with a better power curve with the filter it means there is a fuel mapping issue and the restriction is assisting in minimising that. If you get no net loss in peak power (after optimised tuning) with a filter then it means that the intake systems flow limiting restriction is downstream somewhere like the throttle body, port shape or size or valve size. If you are after pure peak power and best power curve then an unfiltered airbox with an effective atmospheric delivery system devoid of size and shape restrictions dictated by limitations of the available space will be best.After that its all compromise. Ciao

That's 3 min 29 seconds of my life I'm never getting back. Ciao

Ha, My bags are packed:) Ciao
