    20 Nm, then 40Nm, fine.

    But then +60 degrees, which introduces unhappy metal sounds and vibrations, which is really disconcerting!

    And then another +60 degrees which put us completely in anoos puckering territory. Fuck me I'm glad that's over and nothing broke.

    Wait till you try a diesel!

    20 Nm, 40 Nm, 105° then 105° was a bit of a nerve wracking process haha

  2. "Compared to conventional type bolts, torque to yield bolts 
    offer the engine manufacturer a number of advantages including; greater flexibility of 
    design, reductions in component costs, more accurate assembly and reliability of seal. 
    Engines designed utilising torque to yield (TTY) head bolts require fewer head bolts to 
    achieve the desired clamping loads than those using conventional bolts. With fewer 
    bolts the engine manufacturer has more flexibility in cylinder head and block design as 
    well as reducing the cost of the engine."

    Is scratch start TIG a thing? I know for my one I have to get super close but wouldn't scratch start fuck up the tip? 

    Yeah it's a thing, predating lift arc start. 

    You want to be real good at sharpening tungstens with a scratch start machine as you will be sharpening a lot of them!

    ^^ yeah 100% hf start if you are learning tig. Otherwise you will give up.

    I persevered for a couple years or more, but now I've got a decent hf start machine with pedal etc I'd never go back.

    I found starting the arc with lift tig easy enough, but having to try to speed up as things heated up and then breaking the arc at the end sucked!!

    The stuff I have on my shelf is Duplicolor. I'll try some VHT. Thanks.

    Peel the label off the Duplicolor...

     

     

     

    /Might be the other way around, but either way Duplicolor and VHT are the same thing, one brand has a stuck on label on the cans, peel it off and it has the other brand printed on the can.

    Our surf was the shape before but (apparently) the viscous fans on these is a weak point. More Barry surf’s might know more.

    Yeah can change to a thicker fluid in them, mine was fucked that even with super heavy fluid it wouldn't lock up.

    Thankfully it only cost me a head gasket and a gasket set etc rather than the brand new head to figure that out.

    Brand new one was cheap enough that I shouldn't have bothered trying to mess about changing the oil.

    Also the 10 blade fan from late model 1KD Hilux is a big upgrade from the stock 7 blade, @GuyWithAviators is the man to talk to about them.
