Troy/Optic - where do you LAN? I used to be a modem chump on the iinet quake2 servers pretty much all the time a few years ago. Best fun.

riaz/raasclaat - I climb at rockface in Northbridge. Have tried the hangout a few times but their lead wall is a bit much. Upside down is fun every now and then - but not every climb!

I'm probably heading to rockface sometime this weekend (prob Sunday) as it doesn't sound like it's going to be cruising weather. If anyone wants to come along or try it out pm me.

I used to go surfing a lot, now I don't have time to do much but I wish I did ...

Also used to coach cricket and rowing.

And go to Redrock/Club Bay View every single Thursday night :D

But now I don't have much time for anything due to study/girlfriend/drinking casually :P

When I finish my course I'll get back into it hehehe

btw should be some good waves today at city beach/ floreat :(

used to be hardcore into rockclimbing -  - it's great fun..

Cool I alway wanted to try that out... :D

actually while ago I was searching for indoor places... then I got side tracked and started to running :(

I'd love to try it out. :P

Steve - PADI dive master - cool. I have my PADI qualifications too - last time went diving was in Bali. Where did you learn? I did mine at PDA.

For fun (kind of :( ) - I am in the SES (State Emergency Service), I do Irish Dancing.. you know like river dance. Other than that me and my friends go to pubs or the paramount in NB.

Right, past time, not cars.

Make music, play music, listen to music, dj at clubs and urrr those illegal dance parties, drink, work, go fishing, go to tafe, get stupidly drunk in carparks, computer games, movies movies movies, dvds, homework, beach all summer, paintballing, used to compete in downhill mountain biking, might start to ride again.

Sleep? who needs sleep.:(

Went to the hangout once. I hate heights, besides that though I loved it. I will only climb 1/2 the wall though.

Paul, what about watching Buffy???

Umm, I am a horse fanantic, I ride dressage and have a nice stallion. Relaxing, I love it.

I also love spending time talking! Real chatty and will talk on the phone for as long as someone will let me!!!

Hmmmmm let me see, well i used to play Ice Hockey for Australia and Western Australia in National Competitions till a back injury (slipped disc in lower back) stopped me from playing... I also used to Speed Skate for Western Australia in National Competitions... These days i'm either in front of the computer, tv or cinema... I enjoy playing golf when i get the chance, paintballing, hanging out with friends and annoying the guys down at C-Red... :P

i need sleep!! :( I'm the sorta person that doesn't like going to sleep, but then HATES getting up in the morning, especially if its before 10am...

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
