  1. Make sure to use proper EFI hose clamps or the cert man will ping you
  2. The thing that caught me out once was my roller has two grooves, one for small wire and another for big wire. I was running big groove with small wife for ages and always got frustrated with it being intermittently crap. Flipping roller over fixed it
  3. Magnesium is fine to machine. Main thing is to keep the swarf dry
  4. Probably the same pistons as 3Y - I might still have 2 spare good pistons laying around if I didn't throw them in the bin. Edit: Looks like I probably biffed them. I'll check in the attic some time. I've still got two good connecting rods in the garage if you need them but they will probably be different to 2Y
  5. It will be fine, it's only a forklift motor.
  6. Reminds me of that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where the grandpa loves old records and says they sound better than CD even though they are shit
  7. Probably not relevant for OHC engines but some old Barries reckon to use softer springs for the cam break in period (obviously with no boost) to give you less chance of eating a lifter.
  8. Also if you paint the exhaust black they won't see the leak That high temp red RTV stuff would probably hold up better than that exhaust gum stuff too
  9. Last WoF I had a note about spring shackle bushes being borderline on hilux. Looks like I can get the parts from amayama. Am I better off buying just the bushings ($50 all up) or buying two shackle kits ($180 all up)? I presume the shackle kits come with all new bolts and shackles. /edit: looks like the shackle kits might not actually be in stock
  10. Nah that's always been the case. Especially as the cars are getting older, you can't expect everything to exist. Usually best to check if parts partsouq has anything in stock as they seem pretty accurate
  11. You could buy a lot of spray wax for that /I'm sure OEM paint usually lasts more than 5 years anyway with minimal care
  12. Apparently top fuel engine cranks twist so much that they can have up to 15 degrees different timing between front and rear cylinders
  13. @kpr and @Roman would be the guys with brains to pick.
  14. You're going about it all wrong nick, you need to just put some big resistive heaters on your fence and aim the heat from the sun away from your property.
