He's called "Tommy" and "THOOOOMASSSS!!" for when I can't get him started next week when he comes to Dorking!!

I like his specs too. He's a geek like me. :( :(

Okies, here's a little quandary.

Should I convert Tommy's head to unleaded or leave him be & use valvemaster instead? :)

The wants-to-keep-him-original hemisphere of my brain says use additive, but it is currently having an argument with the can't-be-arsed-with-the-faff-of-continuously-adding-extra-stuff hemisphere. :thumbsup: :-

Can someone please settle the score & restore peace and harmony inside my skull?

well if you wanted to go for total originality, think -

how much extra effort is it to unscrew a small bottle and tip in, at the same time as you are filling up with petrol..? sounds a pain but to be honest you'll prob spend longer arsing around changing wheels/setting points/re-doing connections etc every time you go near the little chap!

thats just how id see it, if mine was as spankingly original as that...

How many miles are you planning to do in Tom?

That is how I have justified to myself for not being arsed to remove the head from mine!!!!

The wants-to-keep-him-original hemisphere wins. :thumbsup: (Curse you lazy-brain, curse you... >:( )
I'm not going to do a huge number of miles in him so, thank you, lads!

if you can remove and re fit the head your self a unleaded conversion will cost about £50

its not a bit you can see so don't worry about keeping it original

when i looked at having my head converted i was going to be charged £25 per exhaust valve to supply fit and machine.

luckily the head i bought was converted so i had a £20 skim and sent it back.

another way to look at it juju is the additional cost of additive on top of the offensive large cost of petrol :kiss:
