Wow car is magic. Why did you tune it again? And not at hi-torque. Said 420 earlier.

EFI did work on the head again. Thanks to JMM, I had the slack side chain guide break and the tensioner was stuffed cause they didn't modify the oil pressure valve. The valve worked it's way out and jammed between the timing cover restricting oil flow. They replaced both guides, tensioner and modified the oil pressure valve (just marked around it with centre punch) then tuned it there in house. Only ran 10psi instead of 11psi which hi-torque tuned it on.

Car runs like crap now anyway...

Drops rpm everytime I accelerate. Cleaned the ISC which wasn't that dirty, did nothing. Then went around with crc trying to find vacuum leaks, nothing. Then noticed that the head noise is back. I just slammed the bonnet and went upstairs... :banghead:

If its got a mod plate it shouldn't be too hard? Otherwise alot of ppl just take the risk of not telling the insurance about what's under the bonnet.

Thanks guys... Ended up going with Shannon's.

NUT347 yeah lesson learnt the hard way. Definitely never going back there. I have Varun at 101 motorsport tuning the car... Best tune so far. Recommend 101 for sure.

Ef_frmnt ha ha. If the money is right...
