Mission: Impossible.

This is all 100% true: I just finished the call!

I just got called to an emergency meeting, so I fly down to Syd tomorrow morning at 10.55am, where I spend the night. At 10.30am - 2.00pm on Friday, the meeting takes place, afeter which I have to have lunch and catchup with my best friend and his fiance. I then make my way to my old man's (Iguess it's my stepmother's now, gee that's weird!) house, where I collect the cargo net and privacy blind for my stagea. I then make my way back to my best friends house, where at 5pm sharp, another of my best mates arrives, and we drive back to the Gold Coast through the night. At 7.30am Saturday morning, I need to be at yet another mate's house to collect my car (which he will have had since tomorrow, 'coz the guage pod and LEDs are being installed while I'm gone), so I can give him a lift to Coolangatta airport, as he is going skiing for a week. On the way back from the airport, I will stop at Robina Car and DOG wash, so I can clean my car. Then I get home, clean the interior, black the tyres and make my way up to the meet. Can anyone bring a sausage or two for me, as I'm a bit tight on time for the next few days....

This message will self destruct (or I will) in 30 seconds...

You are a warrior!!! Please someone make him a medal if the mission is a success ^^

I'll be there! Had to talk my mate into driving up Friday night after work, because he wanted to leave Sat morning. But at the end of the day, my "You can drive 100% of the way saturday, or 50% of the time Friday" argument won out!

Micah:1, Dominic:0

lol

Cant make it now, new buyer is picking up the stagea on saturday on the northside at the same time, oh well, it'll be passing through on it's way back to sydney with a set of dealer plates on it ~1:45pm I am guessing.

Unfortunatly have to work this weekend,unable to change the shift.....but will still make it to the meet at around 1pm fingers x'd.

me to, i,m going to be late but i'll be there....hope we get a decent turnout, only one more sleep, :( how about a show of hands

The plan is to meet at Victoria Point at a park/bbq area at 12.00pm.

The park is Yeo Park in Eagle street, Victoria Point

Turn into Thompson Street off Colburn avenue.

There is several undercover bbq area and electric bbq's

Playground for the kids and a sandy beach. Bring there bikes aswell (that's why we have stagea's)

Plenty of parking.

Will meet approx half way along the park which is about 500m long.

My contact number is 0404 075 314

I will send out a pm to everyone that is interested

edit

I have sent out approx 11-12 pm's, so if all come that would be great

So this is the confirmed place?

    • This is lower price now given apparently nobody wants these or needs them. It's 550 but if someone sees it on SAU and wants to make an offer, please do so.
    • 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
