Some drums have two threaded holes that you can use. Screw bolts in and it pushes the drum off. I guess you could drill two holes, and thread it with a bottom tap and that could work. Kinda last resort stuff though.

I keep getting guys comming into work to get our water based degreaser to clear out cooling systems in there forestry gear after blowing head gaskets etc.

Big machines. Cat 320s and stuff. They then flush with vinegar. All recon it works a treat and is way cheaper than the normal "flushes".

Im yet to be convinced but would love to try it sometime.

I really suggest getting a multimeter. Learn/watch some videos on how to use it and what things mean and it will serve you well in the future.

With older cars and the old wireing it is a great skill to have.

Learning to put in a head unit is propably one of the best ways to start. There isnt much you can stuff up.

Man that was a good bathurst. The sky go is worth the cost if you have the day to sit down and make the most of it. Had no issues whats so ever.

So, Sky fanpass works really nice. 720p and no glitches. Worth thr $15 by far. If you want free, this is still working really well: http://motorsport-au.hopto.org/

Keen for me XE!!

Ive watched bathurst inline through channel 7. Its pretty good and i dont think i had to use a VPN.

Im gonna look at the sky pass or somthing this year. HD etc would be nice.

Have had to do it a few times here. Living in Rotorua you get bad spots.

That C thru stuff is the best, but really there is no way around the elbow grease involved. Thats what makes it work. Some kind of orbital polisher makes it 100000000000000000000000000000000000 times easier though.

Yeah sounds good, fire things back up for the start of summer.

We can carry on with it being the last Thursday of each month, with it being this Thursday. Perhaps to short notice and we can do this first one abit latter?

What about venue? Go with burger fuel on Te Ngae, or somewhere new?

Lets hear your feedback guys so we can make this work.

We have  got one of these as a replacement work ute. These things are constantly carrying around pretty heavy loads. Multiple 208L oil drums etc up forestry roads.

After 60,000km the Navara is pretty much fucked. Unbelievable really compared to the Hiluxs and Ford Rangers which we have had also and done about the same kms. If you only had to spend a little more for a Hilux or something i definitely would. \

The Fords and Hiluxs are so so much nicer to drive too.

Just had a look at this:

http://www.penriteoil.co.nz/products.php?id_categ=14&id_products=90

As you can see its just an EP00 lithium complex grease. Nothing special at all.

EP00 or an EP000 grease. Often referred to as a liquid grease. Newer kinda Jap, Ozzy/NZ falcons etc will use an 80w90 or 80w140 gear oil.

If going with a grease, heat it up first so you can pour it in nice and easy.

Interested to see how the deeper pot works, been thinking about using another cylinder to make a pot too. I dont like the brake rotor idea.

Every time i go to the rubbish dump i take old cylinders back home lol.

Also wondering what effects diameter and length of the secondary burn chamber has.

The oil thinning out as everything gets hotter is really the only issue. Im yet to come up with a really good simple way to regulate flow.

Mines pretty crude and uses alot of oil. But i have unlimited waste oil so i dont care. Alot of other guys get really obsessed with economy. All i want is max heat and not bellowing smoke.

To light it i just get some paper or something with alittle kero, once there is some heat in the system it slowly winds up.

To make a really simple one, all it is is a bowl, a top plate with a few small holes. A pipe with holes in the side to reburn the hot gases and thast it. The rest is all about some way of transferring heat or whatever it is you want to do.

There are some good videos on youtube too.

Thought i had a bunch of bookmarks but no.

Here is a link to one of them though

Ive run mine on kero/diesel/petrol concoction for an hour or so as well, AND OMFG!!! Half of it had turned cherry red.

They use shit all oil, like 500ml an hour or something.

When i was "tuning" mine i found the flames would "blip" out the sides like that too until i starting covering up the holes in the base plate above the pot. Seems to draw the air through better in the flame tube.

I need a better flu like yours has. Its really important to have the flu as big and long as possible to get the draw going.

Ill post up some links to websites about making them when i have the time. There is a fair amount floating around. The dimensions of everything dont seem too crucial.

If you can get your head around the whole fuel to air mixture and tuning the size and amount of holes in the tube/base plate which im sure most on here would understand, its easy.

I might get mine cranked up this weekend and take some pics/vids. Motivated to have a play with it again now.

Ive built one of these also, pretty much exactly the same as the above. Have placed a radiator in it to heat water for my hot tub. Kinda works, still improving it.

Amazing how much heat you can get out of these things and fairly simple to build.

Sounds like a bloody jet plane taking off which is a huge bonus.

This could be a cool thread:

What: 1984/5 Falcon XE Spac. 4.1 injected, 4 speed manuel. Lowered with new springs. The rest is more or less bog standard. It is currently my daily.

Why: I was kind of over having little jap cars. mainly 70s, mitsis. Managed to sell my LA Lancer for a good price. Got talked into purchasing. Another factor was i actually remember seeing this falcon driving around Feilding when i was a little kid. Used to think it was pretty cool.

When: About a year and a half ago i got it.

How: Off the Tard. Where else?

Whats Next: EF/EL 4.0L OHC turbo engine, and drivetrain. Megasquirt ECU. More bogan wheels.

Pics before lowering:

Pretty sure ive seen wheels like this have pop up on tardme when looking for wheels for my falcon (5 x 114.3).

Keep an eye out and you will find some. Spacers and stuff are shit. Dont do it.

Definitely new wiper blades and clean the crap out of the inside of the windshield.

^ I noticed all the sigma manuals too, WTF was with that!!

Was pretty cold. Permafrost till about 11am then the ground was mush everywhere.

Beautiful day this is going to be good!!/cold
