RUNAMUCK

Wow. I just caught up on the last year of this build thread today. Man what a journey!

I'd use tac2 But it was my understanding that once the speedo starts bouncing the cable.inner is getting close.to.end of life.

Yeah that's him

Isn't Denham an engine guru? I can't remember his username accurately enough to tag him.

Kephos is just xylene and phosphoric acid. Xylene is a high end solvent that fucks off while you wait. Breathing it after its evaporated makes you feel not so good Brian.

Nah I'm pretty sure it's white.

@Slacker_Sam. knows where there's a well side truck slowly returning to the earth somewhere near Tapawera. Reportedly the owner is a level 11 Barry. Which makes its procurement difficult

Theres a build thread for that truck over at nzdatsun.com. guys username was gtref.

That white lhd well side truck belongs to a mate of mine. It was restored by GT refinishers in Aux (?) And later sold to a bloke I know in BOP. he slammed it, certed it, and sold it to a mate of mine here in chch. He's got two tailgates too the bugger. One imaculately painted like the truck. And one in bare metal/rat look. I haven't seen him for quite a while though. I also doubt he'd sell one. Lol

That's encouraging. do you remember how much the deck cut set you back?

The www recommends using Sealant front and back on sbm manifolds instead of gaskets anyway. Can you remember how far down the hole your slugs were with the 1.755 pistons and the 40 thou cut? I've got a block here out to 40 over, which is more or less the last oversize. I'd planned to cut the fuck out of it. But my slugs are only 1.740.

I can still hear your bike. And I only rode it 3 kms. edit like honestly dude, you probably suffered permanent hear loss riding it for that long.

Also what was my advise? Asking for a friend. (Nothing to do with my complete inability to retain information)

Where do you buy 6k springs from? 2k is the heaviest ones I can find for Ronnie. (Still enough to put smokey Sue to the sword though ) a mate drilled holes in his (aftermarket) clutch shoes and gained extra hi stall by virtue of less weight.

And wear a respirator cos that shit will blow.your head off.
