The block hasn't been cryo'd but it is mostly grout filled. Cams go in today and then the external pickup will be mounted and welded in place. Then the bottom pulley will be adapted to the balancer and then it's in the ute and off to Bezerkley to fit and mount the oil pump so we can order the right length belt.

grout filled, is that a must do once you reach a certain power level with a rb engine?

Certainly not a 'must do' - more a case of 'why not?'

your diff looks wierd mate. where is the tube for the front drive shaft?

I don't see a diff in that shot?!?!

So with the Plazmaman intake on one side and the coated shit on the other, I thought I'd spend some time polishing the cam covers. I wasn't aware just what 'some time' really meant. Holy crap this takes a long time.

At this point I've cleaned them up with 240 and gone over this one again with 400. Then comes 600 and then polishing. Time consuming plus!!! I should have started this process a long time ago. One of the two covers has a pressed indent in the top that looks like it was meant to have a badge in it at some point. I ground that out together with the casting marks around the base as well.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
