Yes are roads are bad. The 'tram-lining' I suffer in lane1 and sometimes lane2 re-enforces my need for a T4. I need to cruise with the new cars without overbeasting my T1.
...And the pot holed roads will not get resurfaced because of the bloody speed ramps. The wishbone/balljoint/shock absorber/exhaust industry is booming. The ministry is contemplating ripping them up....How odd is that?
Imagine stubbing a deep-sump on one of those square, ambulance friendly ramps? Ouch..
On the other hand there is plenty of open road just 40mins from ANYWHERE in the Uk, tho' it's easy to forget.
Only tonight I first test fitted my T4 (

), just the 'case and #1/#2 'head. I was a little surprised just how much longer the T4 is. The CB pump just seemed to good to be true. Thanks for putting me off
My choice of crank pulley will permit a dry-sump pump. Fan speed will be 92% of T1 with a flat belt.
