    Yip should be a go. Daylight hours are starting to increase too which is good.

    Yeah what Clint said. Worked on my mates one a while ago. Had similar problems. Lots of shut stuck to the sensors cos they magnet.

    Hydrogen is good. They use it to cool the generators at Huntly power station. Probably the best heat capacity vs price

    great photos of milford and stuff. You did well to get there on a clear day. I have been a few times for various reasons and the weather has always been shit and foggy.

    Send ja1lb8 a pm about century wheels. He has a set he might want to part with.

    Looks mint. I see your running the auto fan belt tensioner. If you find your spitting fan belts when your doing hectik d1 clutch kicks, you will need to make a bracket to hold the tensioner tight. The manual version has a little shock absorber thing on it, but Toyota want around 800 nz pesos for it.

    Jackpot. I have this issue with a car but it's a long way from getting on the road. Have all the paperwork so should be OK Thanks man.

    Good to put another face to a name. Was keen for sharns but had to get home.
  14. fletch
    Excellent work again! Looks like it's coming along well.

    Yes but it's the acceleration that matters. Traveling up the bore then stopping and going back down is where all the force is. A longer rod reduces the peak acceleration of the piston.
  16. fletch
    One of the main reasons is slower acceleration of the piston at TDC and bdc. For backyard cowboys like us it means you can use a cheaper piston and rod due to lower stresses. I read somewhere that the screaming v10 f1 motors had to run a real long rod as at 20k rpm the piston would out accelerate the flame front at the point of ignition and lose torque!

    Yea it's the heavier casting rfb block. I think they use them some places as they are taller than the rb25/26 block. Most people just run the rb30 block. The LD is just an L28 block but 3/4 taller and bit smaller in the bore. With a filthy deez head on it
  18. fletch
    Yes, but only really matters on high rpm motors. This one won't see over 7000 so the only reason for doing it was the supposedly thicker bore that could go out to 89 or 90mm, and the taller deck to more easily fit a bigger stroke.
  19. fletch
    It's a v57 block which apparently has thick walls. But has not. The taller deck gives more room for more stroke from am offset ground crank. Obviously only worth it if you can also go to 89mm or more bore

    Haha. All good. I'll be there next time. Maybe buy some beers and come to mine and help strip some motors while drinking beers.
  21. fletch
    Not looking good here either. We have some err.. water damage at work....
  22. fletch
    Are you riding there? On your death trap? Haha

    Turn the engine over until the inlet valves are partially open on that cylinder and put some compressed air onto a hose on the inlet manifold and pressurize the cylinder to blow out swarf.
  24. fletch
    Jackpot. Excuse the rivets. I was out of wood screws.
  25. fletch
    Should be there. Couple of jobs to finish at work then jam a beer can in the hole in the muffler and wait for the cover of darkness
