Yay Friday

Yes it's still there, along with the cutting out issue, despite changing the battery. I'm going to do the coils, valve guide seals, valve springs and retainers tomorrow and just for a sanity check, change the cam timing to a known good economy position. Should take about 4 or 5 hours if I smash it, lucky I've had a coles order today that included plenty of energy drinks!!!

Oh yeah I ran gate pressure to start with...180awkw on 3.5psi lol

Eh I ain't re-updating nuffin But here's today's update: I went down to the dyno to diagnose a fuel issue and instead found another issue. It made 265awkw on 10psi so not too shabby there. The valve springs wouldn't have it with the hectic cams and would valve float with much more boost than that, so didn't bother going further. I'll be upgrading my valve springs and installing new valve stem seals while I'm there. I'll let it run in a bit more anyway before I turn it up too much. The fuel issue is that it's using over double the required amount of fuel at cruise, over triple at idle and has an average of 50L\100km at the moment, and that's not all from flooring it either. I've checked everything known to man except drive-line drag, but it ain't the brakes dragging if it is. Trans shifts perfectly, doesn't slip at all etc. I wonder if the converter is farked? I'll message the trans shop and get their opinion. Anyway there's that, maybe one day it will let me just drive it for a while without having to fix something

Oh well at least it's sorted as it can be now. Yay Thursday

Wednesday out the ass

Stuck it in quicker than ya dad on his honeymoon

Yep it's one of those spots that has those issues. It's easy enough to do in the car, still a pita though

Hmmm looks like that got a tad hot! Here's a pic, I helicoiled my sump turbo oil return.

It's Tuesday

A little bit more coating info, the engine in the video will be making around 2000hp

Lol is that why you were a butthead yesterday? It was a joke man, your reply had no humour in it, so you do have some explaining to do

Run that line to the catch can too and block off the port to the intake manifold. If you don't wanna change stuff, just use a stock one way valve like you would see in the brake booster line.

You don't need a check valve. The routing goes from rocker cover, to catch can, to turbo intake. At no point should there be boost present in the catch can system. You use a one way valve for the brake booster from the intake manifold, and the stock one does the job just fine.

I did hear it was windy over there. It was slightly windy here the past few days too.

A mob of bastards, to be sure

Just Monday things

all fun and games until someone takes an arrow to the knee

Eh people gonna people

Mine was a light hearted jab to reflect all the times he's jumped in my thread talking about my sh*t blowing up. Dunno what his go is, seems a bit over the top

Yay Monday

Nothing

Blown it up yet?

Still battling the gastro but got some more done today. Head cleaned up, a couple of leaking valves lapped in, washed, rinsed, dried and ready to go back on. Block surface prepped but not a lot to do there. Wankers sent me a bent gasket but it should straighten out after a heat cycle and re-torque. Fitted the head and snugged it down to 120lbft. Hmmm, lifters and Kelford 218-C cams fitted, Atomic vernier gears fitted, timing chain done and timed up and it was about then that I had enough and am now sitting with a bundy and coke.

Top chat, go fit some cam caps back to front
