All the noise is coming from directly at the front. Was still idling fine and purring like a kitten otherwise I wouldn't have kept putting along.It's was only running dry for prob 2 ks is that far enough to do serious damage?Thanks for the response mate will know Monday once they pull it apart what the damage is.

Spool import sellin rebuild kits for like $2300. It's goin into hi-torque at Gold Coast. They reckon anywhere for 4k to 8k depending what needs replacing. Would love it to just need a timing chain kit hahhahahha I guess if I gotta rebuild it I may as well do it right n boost it up a bit afterwards It's was getting 420rwhp on only 11psi would b good to see what 16-18psi would net meThanks for the response mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
