Hi all, cant seem to find anything on this maybe haven't looked harder enough, wanting to convert my n/a ba2 xr6 single thermo fan to a dual from another ba, was going to run it off a switch, but have decided to run another two fans off a switch and try keep these ones running by themselves. Any leads on how to do this? Or anyone who has done this able to tell us how you did it? Cheers tia

Cheers mate, took head off turned out was just really bad carbon build up on top of cylinder head and valve seats.

Yep collets were in properly, but found I had the same problem on a few other valves. Rotating the valve when closed seemed to do the trick I guessing there was some carbon build up, I've got some headstuds to go in so I'll give her a clean underneath. Thanks for tips fellas

Sorry what did you mean by flat down? lol

Forgot to mention I don't have cams on

Hi all again, after looking around online for a couple of hours I'm stuck, Im in the process of replacing my valve stem seals, and after my first replacement seal I can't hold pressure in the cylinder as the valve is letting air through exhaust. Valve guides seem to have very minimal play so I'm not sure. Any ideas? Cheers

Good one ya mate, was that 8k Aus?

Wow 750 to do valve springs, glad I did my own😅

Ah alright might give tms a go, since they're only a 20 minute drive, cheers for that

Yeah that's the aim, I've done everything myself just looking for tuner now.

I could have worded it better, I'm looking for a shop that has tuned falcons before, and are familiar with them.

Would you recommend them? I'm in kapiti and was going to use Tms racing, but have heard bad things about them.

Ah cheers mate, will have a look

Definitely comes out of top right side on timing cover.

Hi all, had a look around couldn't find anything. After I decided to be silly in my ba xr6t and do a burnout, this was my first one in this car which has me really gutted😅. I've lost oil when the car is running, seems to out sides of rocker cover and possibly top of timing cover. Any ideas if this is more then gaskets at fault? Or have I kicked myself in nads bad lol, tia. Cheers

Yeah was quite surprised myself actually

Forgot to post this, bit I ended up finding a slow leak from back of water pump o ring, that must have been dripping near exhaust and causing this. Problem stopped right after.

Yeah sounds good, thanks for all input fellas

Alright well definitely not exhaust leak then, well hopefully coolant shouldn't be to bad fix. Thought I'd give it a try lol, learning things is good haha

Will take a look, but from previous look seemed good for oil and coolant, if I was to have a leak on either dp or turbo flange, it should smell fume like right? Cheers The car has been driven less then 50ks, but has had good sessions of idling for over things, just assumed anything like that would have gone by now, but I will give it some more time then to see if any change. Cheers for input.

Hi all couldn't find anything on here about this, recently just replaced turbo on 04 ba xr6t and have noticed sort of a steam? Smoke? From turbo area, dosnt smell sweet like coolant, wondering if any else has had this problem before I take a crack in morning, cheers.

Yeah that's probably going to happen now lol

Yeah I see that lol, just wondering if it was really worth sticking with the ba at this point haha

Thanks

Hey just curious, if I was to say aim for 500kw is that probably I should look at getting new head studs along with other things?
