well im still here, stupid submarines!!!!!

when you think your frezzer is full think again!

this frezzer is 12ft deep roughly

and i would say 8 ft wide

and 6ft high

and ive put all my veg at the bottom at the back.
you have no idea how much of a pain and how cold it is to dig through all that to get a bag ofg peas out!



you havnt lived till youve frezzer dived in just chef whites lol

Right, quick question;

For those of us who are still learning the basics with engines; what does "7 port" mean? I have some idea of it being the number of ports that the air and fuel has to travel through before getting into the combustion chamber, but it's not the same thing as the number of valves, is it?

I keep seeing this thread title, but have never got round to actually asking!

Thanks,

Simon.

5 port is a standard head as it has 3 exh ports and 2 inlets, which the manifolds sit against

were as a 7 port has 3 exh as normal but 4 inlets, and there then moved to the front of the ehad giving a bet flow of air in to the cylinder head.

the number of vlaves stays the same though in both 5 port heads and 7 port heads

[RawlinsGTR]

Right, that makes sense now :)

Thanks.

Peas are over rated anyway! Carrots on the other hand are fab!! This is a veggy forum isnt it? There is still room for some vodka in that freezer..

[danny1]

I've had to put my rum gin and brandy in my outher store room in the ventilation pipes so people don't nick it, I just hope the bottles don't smash or we will all be getting drunk of fumes lol

[danny1]
