Talking to a guy with 30 yrs VW experience who has a shop near me and he said DONT use synthetic oil,a few years ago VW/Porche sent out a memo re: do not use synthetic oil on older engines Hmmmm?

Too far away,I live near Ottawa...a bit like going from London to Reading I will sort it out...God save the Queen!!!

OK... Something is rattling now sounds like a pushrod.....damn!!! test day April 22..gotta fix it.

Its not dripping on exhaust I checked that and pushrod tubes are not leaking either,after switching engine off,I have a feeling #1 & 2 side is hotter than #3&4 side,or I am just paranoid about it anyway thanx Dietmar.

Thank you Jim.

I seem to have light grey smoke coming from #1 cylinder when engine has warmed up,as if you had spilled a bit of oil/WD 40 on the fins,but it does not go away.I stopped the engine and removed the spark plug to see if smoke came out,none did,the spark plug was also dry(no oil).Its not a lot of smoke,...

Im not suggesting anything:>)..just pointing out what nice looking vees they have after looking at the photos on the net..Im an F1200 driver by the way in Canada..FST means nothing to me :mrgreen: I post in here sometimes because its a good site,unlike the F1200 site we have which is as dead as Mosp...

Alot of them use old Formula Ford chassis etc...nicer wheels,disc brakes and 1300 engines I think with disc brakes..some UK vees are REALLY nice looking cars.

I must admit the UK & Australian Vees are really nice looking Race-cars

Any photos or interesting ideas /positions for camera mounts besides the Roll bar(not the front Axle)

A question for the experts in here ......Just watched a video on You tube on installing an oil breather kit from valve covers to a small oil tank...is it a good idea for FV Racing engines?

Our hearts out to the NOBLE family,a Famous name to all of us....from a Canadian F1200 driver..God Bless.

Thats us at Mosport on the right last june in F1200 race...you posted the wrong video

Browsing the different vee sites I saw that there is racing in the UK. Does anyone have any experience related to or know anything about vee racing in the UK? How does it compare to racing here? Are the cars any different? I'm sure there are different builders there then here. Just look at the phot...

Happy new year from a Canadian F1200 driver to all you FV drivers and heres to a safe 2011 racing season I wish our F1200 site was as active as yours,its as dead as a racetrack in winter
