Matt this is what you want and it will fit;

[Matty 31]

anything can be made to fit. just something about the RM6-285 and the massive hairdryer hanging off it that works for me haha

[Damo_R34]

Spent the arvo changing coilpacks to not only find out that its not coils causing missfire, but also to snap off one of the bolts that holds the coil in. wicked.

That's a beautiful piece of machinery there Dale.....that's a good price too IMO.

I've got the updated version of that engine in my truck but with 2 snails hanging off it.

Crap!

Got the news this weekend that my uncle is in surgery at the RAH ICU and he's not expected to make it. That will be another uncle I'm losing to bowel cancer. He is a top bloke and has lived a good life. Hopefully he's got some fight left in him. Bowel cancer is no joke people. I get tested every two years. Its only $36 every two years to ensure you can keep enjoying modding cars for years to come.

aargh, these bolts are so fragile... i snapped like 3 of them when i had the same issue...

so what have you tried so far to find source of misfiring?

[Damo_R34]

well i took out a set of heavily-siliconed coils and replaced them with a spare set i got with the car, chucked come electrical tape around them first, but no dice, still missing under load. only other thing i can think of is a split in silicone joiners/piping thats only opening up under load? Gonna book it in to Pitlane to get the bolt out and replaced, and see if they can't diagnose it for me.

[heslo]

So you've replaced a dodgy set with another dodgy set? Buy some Splitfires, if the issue persists then you can rule out coilpacks.

As for the bolt, depending on where it snapped, use a set of pliers, wrap it around the thread of the bolt and work it out that way, done that before on my car, easy as piss.

^^^ or take the whole cradle out if theres no bolt left on top of it... thats what i had to do...

as for splitfires... that would be my last resort because they are for suckers
