The 6.7 Powerstroke thread involving deleting emissions controls got me thinking. Realizing that there were (are?) problems with the Powerstroke that are mitigated by removing certain items, and that it's technically illegal, what's the consensus? I removed the catalytic converter from my MG for safety, and unhooked the smog pump belt. Seems the cats are known to get blazing hot, and since it's directly below the carb, they have been known to start fires. I still have it, so it would it would be easy to put it back and put the belt back on the air pump. It's older than 25 years so it's exempt from emission testing. Thank goodness for that; I can't imagine them trying to run the tiny car on the treadmill. If it failed, I don't think I could convince them that there aren't any MG dealers around and I have the special tool for adjusting the carb as well as the factory service manual if they would let me tweak it while they are testing.
