well crank is back in... got my rods resized with ARP bolts and they go back in today... it should all be back together this weekend. with the crank i had it in and out no less then 15 times measuring and checking bearing clearances... we then had to do some work to make sure they were all spot on. time consuming stuff.

update!!

motor re assembled by myself.. bearing clearances checked. everything all good. and motor back in the car. started it up tonight after priming it up for oil pressure and it fired first go and sounded great! got it up to temp and it seems to have slightly more oil pressure then before and rev's and idles smoother then ever.

skid performed :P

some updates... been busy last few weeks working on my trailer doing brake upgrade, new hubs, GTST rims, new tyres, and a few other things. oh and new 4meter long ramps :D

in between i have been doing a few things here and there to my car. some pics here

10W super bright LED's with a 45degree spread. got these for the trailer which i will mount on my new nose cone facing backwards... it really is a PAIN in the arse loading and unloading at night so these will help a bit!

my new ramps.. they are 4 meter scaffolding planks. they require a support in the middle to stop the sagging but they work a treat.

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
