This would free up some horses (up to 5hp apparently) 3. the camshafts for the m42 can be tuned to improve performance (how to do this) 4. Chipping the ECU :- (Mark D and Conforti) seem to be the most recomended 5. M42 engines ne real problem.Cooling system gasket known as "timing case profile gasket" which will fail Can some body elobrate on this 6. Modified the extractors to clear the steering shaft Please feel free to add onn so that others intending to convert and have the first hand experience __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Which are the recomended workshops that can do this conversion ????
