I know what you mean. Although I know a few people who can help me out when I want to start tuning it up. It's staying stock for now though  ;)

Oi less of it.  ;) There are some very switched on sootheads over here,
We just don't tend to throw silly money at our builds as the diesel is still an economical choice, and the motors so cheap that they are disposable.

I am very interested in this, I am looking for replacement Swirl chambers to use in my build, will these be better for performance?  I am also interested because I need some, mine are cracked to hell.  Those of us on this side of the pond would have no problem with you throwing those engines away in our direction ;D

yes and no, its that transfer that "lights up" the mixture of turbulent air and diesel
but if the prechambers get too hot, the aluminum in the head might not like it

that's why I thought on using Renault prechambers on my 1.9 head frankenengine
