I remembered that fooker this time. I made sure of it! haha

[Piggaz]

Ok, todays effort. Sammich plate in. We got the box off and back on only for that ring thing in the clutch come off. Box off, fix and back on.

Next issue. TOP STARTER MOTOR BOLT! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Some idiot decided to cable tie the new water line from the rear of the head in the worst position ever. After a few hours (and some brain juice), it's in.

Let's see how we go tomorrow night!

i actually take the alternator tensioner bracket off, flip down the alternator and use a socket and extension and go through the front now. Takes about 15 minutes longer but i loose alot less blood

That wasn't going to work with this one cause someone ran a heap of extra lines thru there and you couldn't get anything in there

How many extra bloody lines do you need!?!

I just spent some time this arvo ripping all the crap off the intake side of my 26. So much (crap) stuff...

Be nice if it was less packed!

deleted heat exchanger (because it was contaminated with oil pump gears haha) and HKS put in a fitting from the back of the head for water to go to the top radiator hose housing. That's the prick that caused us issues

won't be long now. The car is at Unigroup at three moment. A few things to do and onto the rollers. With any luck by weeks end (Can only hope).

Any suggestions for oil type and brand to use for the run in?

[r32-25t]

Vavoline 20w-50 mineral oil

[Deano 1]

Great news!!

I've heard of people using Diesel engine oil for run in, as its got a lot of detergents in it
