Only 5 people have paid a deposit. Could you please leave a deposit asap.

I'm stuart i payed the deposit mid week.

Everyone does know it's Grand Final day on the 30th yeah?

Personally I'm not TOO fussed, given that the bombers chance of even making it in to the 8 is slimmer than a bees dick! :)

But the locals are in with a fighting chance.

At the very least we should have a radio/tv playing it there.

On ya Chops. :P

Any improvements since last year?

Yes, yes there has been.

Should run about 40rwkw higher.

Bugger about it being Grand Final day, I didn't realise that Ash.

That might change things a little for a few people, I know I would prefer another day.

Oh dear, no idea too. Also depends if the locals are in it. Hrm.... who else wants to change the date, I can organise a TV there oh and hide the beer. LoL

I can start changing plans tomorrow if people want it done.

Cheers.

nah I'm definitely out on that date .... I vote for change it - I am sure Sean and the BoostWorx boys will vote that too when they realise the clash.

Not watching the grand final is UNAUSTRALIAN!

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
