Cracks heads

Timing chains fail

Diesel pump seal fail

I normally cut the old one off, heat new one and drop it on. replace welds if needed,

This is of interest to me.

Yep hes still doing certs.

I didn't say he wasn't online. Just that he seems to be a useless cunt.

agreed, tried getting hold of him too, but useless.  try http://www.supremescreens.co.nz/ mike is the man

Hey, i've got a Table saw you can borrow, will fit in car.

Mean truck.

where'd you get the 5x5 swap for the rear, also the rear disc's?

Since when were German's known for their precision engineering though?

Since Ken 

Many years ago, Ken made a customer move factory fuel lines on a bmw as they were too close to factory exhaust. Never been back to him since then. 

Dudes its not Like you didnt just see every mustang that will be there at parmy swap meat anyway

He's just trying to scare you off, so he can have all the mustangs to himself.

 

 

 

pistons 2 and 3 are pretty cracked. didnt get a chance to pull #4. but im expecting it to be alright like #1 is, due to the similar compression readings. the bores still look perfect so no issues there thankfully. 

 

the crack in the block goes down roughly 8mm and although im uneasy with the call, the engine shop rekons it would be alright and they see it often. i think dad is going to take some detailed pictures or maybe the whole block in to them to look at. 

 

i believe the current plan is to chuck replacement parts at it and get it back on the track running the same gear as it has for years previously. possibly get a checkup on the tune. 

 

I would not use that block

Haven't touched this truck in a while, but have bought a V8 4.8 LS based engine from a Silverado 1500 truck, got excited over the weekend and cut down the loom for the standalone setup, then started making a new fuse box for the truck to upgrade the wiring system. As old wires are no fun to fix. Hopefully will get engine running on a stand before installing.

Segidens(sta parts) was sweet and beat everybody by a good amount when I bought rings, bearings, and gaskets for the Kent.

go there

Oh shit yeah!

When does it land in NZ?

 

 Maybe end of this month.

Got a e-level accuair kit while in Los Vegas off a guy who was going to bag his GS300 thanks craigslist, bought back in my check in. got searched at every stop in USA, must have looked like a bomb in the x-ray. Truck is in a container with a 64 impala my mate bought and a mean as old Oldsmobile, they are on the water, hopefully here in around a month in Wellington.
