I carry some 450mm stainless ties in my car tool kit, they are super handy to have on hand

2nded with the stainless zipties.

My exhaust is super heavy, I actually have the figure 8 rubber mount backed by a thick stainless ziptie to catch it when the mount breaks so I don't get scrapage or damage my rear bumper.

The stainless ties are great as they don't break down with heat like the plastic ones.

Currently grinding away at the valley in my original block for improved oil drainbacks.

New engine build mate?
In the long run, yeah.
The current 355" involved a few 'yeah, that'll do for now' moments, and I had said 'as long as it does 10years'. And that time is almost up. It was rushed in in time for our wedding.
So taking this one slower and the plan is for a few more rpm (safely), more power obviously, and moving the power up a bit higher.
