2.5 years to diagnose a blocked exhaust. Solid

Dunno how wide your garage currently is but most are 5m or so on plans. This is not wide enough to get out of with 2 cars in there. Think baby seat

What the absolute fck. Working up in mini increments then bam 9 squats at 180kg. Yeah ok chief

Layed some grass and a garden, poured a slab. House builds really test the patience Jealous of you barra owners watching prices go up lol Mine would have rusted away by now lol

I hate when I slip and accidentally order a giant turbo

Lesson learnt. 10x6m shed is not diy friendly. Got it 90% done, but fck it was hard work. Pay someone to do it. If my roof skillioned the other way, it may not of been so bad as the middle beam was 10m long and 2 of us couldn't lift it. Plus the roller door was 170kg. Scissor lift is a must.

I was in a falcon at powercruise and when he held the antilag it made something like 25psi at like 2000rpm. It was very violent on tyres and everything and he broke a diff later in the day and he didn't really dump the clutch in it. I would say it's only ok on a built motor and e85. Happy to be proven wrong though.

Can anyone tell me why a fgx g6e turbo is 10k less than a fg mk2 g6e turbo? What did they leave out or change?

Any particular reason in a 2018? I do love a good prado, but why they so expensive lol

2017 model. Prado, mux, everest or grand cherokee? Thoughts

It's just a standard iame x30 piston. Has to be the iame brand and piston as it's a control class.

Yes

When the plug comes out like this, yet my piston didn't explode lol. Session before the plug was earthy brown and the motor was singing. Lambda was perfect as well. Exhaust and exhaust port had no signs of being lean either. Only the plug. Went 1 heat range cooler plug in it and came back out earthy brown with no mixture setting change. Lucky.

Post cannot be empty.

Newcastle hi tensile bolt Co is the bolt industry standard. Grade 8.8 is what your chasing. Usually sca has these with a zinc coating. (Stamped on the head) Zinc isn't great with temperature, but is ok. Ideally black will suffice, and goes better with antiseize. You can get grade 10.9 which is stronger again, or 12.9 socket head cap screws. First number is the ultimate strength, and the second number is the % of ultimate indicating the yield strength. E.g. a grade 12.9 screw has a ultimate strength of 1200mpa and a yield of 1200x0.9 = 1080mpa yield strength. Most bunnings stuff like there galvanised threaded rod is grade 4.6 which is like butter. Basically a mild steel equivalent. Don't get stainless as they weak as sh*t. Imperial bolts use a similar stamping on the head as well. 4, 8 and 10 I think.

Our of curiosity how neet are the dowels? No retention? Guessing they drive in pretty firm ?

Why, match drill it with flex plate bolted to crank

Atomic sell a little jig. It's basically a block to hold your dril bit. They may even loan it out

Need to dowel it.

Why does it look like the crank has been welded up or something? Being grade 8.8 they will drill fair easy. I'd pick the worst one, drill it, and try a easi out. Atomic also dowel there flex plate still?

Sydney roll racing was mighty expensive last night. I think it was last night anyway. Hurricane

Is it a single layer head gasket or multi? If your not machining anything go a single layer. Bearings as in puffs thread can be fairly loose without issue. I believe what ford calls worn out is close to atomic new spec. You can buy thou under size Bearings as well. Plastigauge has its place. Measuring the journal is better. Are them Bearings new?

Look I personally believe that if you measure and know what to look for it's fine. It's one of them things I believe engine builders have upsold for years because if something fccks up then they get blamed. (Putting stock size pistons in standard bores) If the bore is round, no step and the right size still it should be ok. Nominal clearance is built into the piston and the slight wear in the bore just helps with the extra boost its going to see. With a bit of luck and the inherit nature of a straight 6 being in balance, building a forged motor for a barra could be done cheap as. And it handling 6-700 kw isn't unrealistic when a stocker can handle in the 500 range.

Has that never been bored? Stock size forgies?
