Maybe I should have let you guys do all my heads lol, manged to grind into the water jacket on a full face head I was doing today! ... So thats a scrap casting! Your supposed to make the mistakes not me!

I put it down to that new bad ass compressor ive got that makes the grinder spin at mach 4 ... wouldnt have been my fault of cause

ahh not that one you've been working on recently..not the one thats pretty much done but the other 1275 one?
haha my attempt at it wasnt to bad..wouldnt want to do it on a head thats in a good condition to start with though.

anddd we have already made a mistake each this week, so it was only natural that the boos was bound to make one sooner or later lol.

that compressor is bad ass though and does make that thing spin somewhat lethally.

No that one that was pretty much done .. 4.5 hours grinding, wasted in a second.... Anyway hit it with a hammer a few times then started again

Almost back to where I was at the start of the day now

ouch thats a reet pain in the backside then aint it.

hammer solves all problems
..so your going to have a fun week working on that head again

[gonzoavfc]

arh man thats a right bummer ... but the hammer solves all.

i reckon you could power your race car with that compressor ... 200bhp (if you paint the compressor gold)
