Hey everyone, I don't suppose anyone would happen to have one lying around? I'm after it for a conversion, and would prefer one that isn't broken, but _is_ in

... yes. ... to 'help' this be more corolla related - brad mak who had the supercharged 5k ke20 ran a 200 mixer in blowthrough at some stage (I know this as I

timing cover will be relatively high silicon (to improve fluidity during casting) and once it is solid, cooling rate should have no effect. perhaps if you hold

I was told aluminium quenched rapidly becomes soft, so it should be cooled down slowly... we tig welded a damaged timing cover to repair it. The stuff about

I would suspect the same. I know for side drafts it is important to have a 2nd firm attachment point from the engine to the carburetors, otherwise they sure

... I suspect that not having a 2nd firm attachment point caused the cracks, and not the wrapping. I know my old Subaru had a rigid exhaust mount connected to

I'm told (by the automotive body maker and engineer that I'm working with) that with mild steel, to make it brittle it needs to be heated up then cooled

... Yes. I should think wrapping the pipes would make them cool down slower and less likely to crack. Maybe if the joints aren't wrapped as well they would
