Ah ic... easy as then ;)

Yeah it should be. I've already filled out the form including majority of the 'office use only' section lol

they should pay me to do it.

This is probably something i should do too... Car has only been back on the road for 6 months

Not a bad idea Scottie considering QMR and QPS like to make sure the engine number matches to their records................oh and the fact that the maximum penalty for not advising them of this can exceed $6,000 :woot:

So merely chump change then lol

Can also request a 'donor' engine number from them, in the case of blocks being skimmed so as the number is no longer visible etc.

All you need to do in such case is fill in the form and list reason as 'engine block decked' and provide evidence (receipt for such decking or similar).

Who wants e85 and p100 discount vouchers!!!

I have some here for united with a 5c a liter off and they expire tomorrow

Each voucher says max of 100liters

They also have a free can of Pepsi with them

I have 2 for grabs

Just gotta swing past and grab them

awww too late, and no car that needs em :(

afternoon all, weekend of no internets should have been good for car work.......but instead spent fixing internets. how many modems do I need to buy in my lifetime?

shit Bodo. I've only ever had one modem and it's done it's job.

Although you probably ass rape your download limits compared to mine which would explain why you go through so many modems

Aye, having a radiator is a good thing.

I always had one just thought that since im making 600rwhp+ its about time i upgraded from the standard one

nice. You coming to Easter cruise?

Ps I know your workin but a sickie will help :D

Unfortunately no chance of a sickie. New radiator post in build thread needs your attention Ants lol

that sux Scottie. Will have to be another time

Build thread replied to

You never disappoint Ants!

Currently having trouble with re locating the Oil Filter. Trying to avoid doing the whole thing again. Damn the workshop mounting it on the fan shroud, where it now doesnt fit

so you are trying to relocate the oil filter again?

so you are trying to relocate the oil filter again?

Yes. When the young apprentice did it, he mounted it on the side of the fan shroud. Whilst outting the radiator and shroud back on the screw came loose. To put it back in that location I would have to take the filter off the plate and thus spil some oil. Trying to relocate it to an easier location. Trying to get it to replace the washer bottle spot. But the lines arent playing nice

that will be subject to trial and error Scottie.

As depending on the length of the lines will determine your new location.

My oil filter relocation kit is mounted under the car next to the sump.

Best mod ever. As all the oil expels down naturally after you remove the oil filter (thanks to gravity) and makes minimal mess

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
