The mighty b16b roars again

[oifovo]

Today I started my b16b for the first time in 3 years, so excited! It has taken a lot longer and the engine is in a different shell than I originally planned on using but hearing it roar is such a morale booster! Here's a short clip, it is running with just the header on so pretty loud lol. Note the lack of movement of the engine, that's standard engine mounts filled with tiger seal, only 3 main mounts torque mounts have been removed! My mounts were properly ruined, split and generally perished and £10 worth of tiger seal brought them back to life.

Nice! glad she's running again.
I like the tiger seal idea that stuff sticks like s**t to a blanket

Yeah, it's not my idea been done by various people in the past! I went all in and even drilled out the fluid filled mount and filled it with tiger seal as well lol, I can take pictures if anyone wants but it's fairly straightforward really! The only thing is that it takes a bit of time to cure, mine have been sat for a couple years so not an issue lol

Hey dude! Good to see you've got it running! Drop you a text some time! I've not popped over for that horn as I've been pretty swamped and managed to get one sorted
