I'm not sure if it has hit the shelves yet, but this is for everyone who uses Shell Helix Ultra.

Shell have decided to revise their range of oils, including Helix Ultra aswell as Plus, Super and M/G.

There is now 3 different types of Ultra, 5W-40, 5W-30 and 10W-60

The 5W-40 is the original Ultra (performance cars), the 5W-30 is more suited for modern cars while 10W-60 is Ultra Racing, staying in step with Shell's V-power Racing. This oil is specfically recommended for high performance motor-sport activities. But as i said, that is for everyone who uses Shell Helix Ultra.

Here is an interesting webpage i found: http://www.api.org/certifications/engineoi...ories/index.cfm

Outlines general spec. on motor oils.

      Squeaky bushes

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Just install a grease nipple into the centre of the outer steel of the FUCA. Make sure the bushes aren't long enough to touch each other underneath that nipple. Cut a few mm off each if need be. Then you can push grease in there while it is all assembled. That was the very first thing I did (to all 4 ends) of the FUCAs on my 32 when I put Whiteline adjustable bushes into them. They would squeeze the grease out real fast, and I could squeeze it back in faster.

      @GTSBoy I found the issue (sort of) when I took apart the bushing again, it was completely dry inside! When I experimented with it, all the grease would push out when I would compress the bushings. I wonder if this has anything to do with me putting in the poly bush first on both sides and then pushing in the metal barrel. Maybe I should have put in the metal barrel first then the rubber bushings so the spread pattern is different.   It's fixed (for now).

      Can't put strut back

      Just redid that entire job. 4 hours, but tightened everything properly. Had to jack the rotor instead of having the car on blocks as there was no room for the FUCA arms to tighten and the j arm. All good now. Cheers for the help!

      I would sell those side feeds before you hydra-lock a motor. I won't say too much about Yellow Jackets because I'll hurt people's feelings, however ask those that tune RBs day in/out what they think of them.

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄
