    just built my new engine last week, with no oil in i can turn it over with a 1/4" drive ratchet no problem. just how an engine should be, not struggling to budge it with a 1 meter long breaker bar..................

    Will having my ecu unlocked/flashed bypass the immobiliser and can it deactivate it? So I can then buy a toad immobiliser??

    nice and smooth no notchiness or sticking, i cant imagine what it must be like to build an engine that wont turn over lol

    what i didnt like was toquing the ARP head studs up to 110nm in an alloy block was just waiting for the threads to rip out.

    back in the day (showing my age lol) i had a bellend of a mate who put the big end caps back on a marina engine back to front. He insisted it was just "tight cos it needs running in" until he got me to try and tow start it with a 300bhp range rover and it just locked his back wheels up every time he let the clutch up. how we mocked him lol
