  3. Lol non ghetto. Ghetto is cable ties and shoe goo.
  4. Inch of weld is good for a ton is the old adage. Should be suffcient..
  5. DUDE, the ball joints rubbing on the disc. Don't drive it. Tow truck job.

    My Build

    Skids?
  9. *two fords and two land rovers.....workshop be a busy place. In here at the moment having a beer, tinkering with the wastegate on the F6 and watching the latest mcmtv2 v8 turbo stagea Ep. Dad's a sparkie hence the awesome power board install.
  10. Moreys is heavy oil, similar I'd suggest to What's been used on your car. All I'm saying is a lack of typical old school gre/black assembly lube is not a concern on a roller valve train if the components have been lubed with oil. I have some idea what I am talking about. My previous career consisted of building and repairing engines in the hundreds of thousands to million dollar cost range.
  11. How much assembly lube are you expecting to see on a roller valve trains? , by the time the last adjusters are up to pressure and clearance has been taken up the entire top end will be bathed in oil. Gotta be honest, it seems like each time you pay for a service you go looking for faults.
  12. Massive shed purge over the last couple of days. A fullsize tandem axle trailer load of shit will be making it's way to the dump on Monday. Had a huge amount of help from my old man and a good mate (TurboKnapp) and got to smash a few beers in the process. It still looks a little cluttered (probably another trailer load of shit to go) but basically the entire section of floor that's visible next to the hoist wasn't before.What pissed me off today? The amount of shit that went in the trailer that didn't come off my own cars. I need to enforce my "if it comes with you it leaves with you" policy.
  13. Enduring bad rep?
  14. Are you resetting the connector in the dash when reinstalling the icc?
  15. Get a billet csc from MWA only about $180. The VZ commo part is a cast ally body but still has a plastic piston.
  16. Concentric slave cylinder. Hydraulic release bearings inside the bellhousing that releases the clutch. Plastic bodied units do all sorts of weird shit if they have got hot.
  17. Does the car still have a plastic bodied csc?
  18. Cross posting from another forum but since this place was down at the time. #2 son home from hospital and settling less than a week after birth. Somewhat more pleasant than the 10.5wk stay #1 son had to endure.. Also 3wks off starting today. Come at me midnight bottle feeds. Also sitting here having a beer while #2 son has a snooze on me so Mum can have a rest. Hi Dags :wave:

  20. Lol yeah cause Brian's car screams daily
  21. Dunno if the double stacked rocker cover look will take off.
  22. I had to hand in my man card and pour it down the sink. Last thing I need with a wife in hospital with a new born and me looking after our 3yr old is a perforated stomach. I'll have to dip into the other 23 in the fridge to drown my sorrows.
