Popular Post Vk304 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2023 Small update, but i got everything closed back up, ran like 10 litres of diesel through the motor out the drain plug to hopefully run out any dust and debree i may have dropped through the block, triple checked everything and that nothing was ready to party with the the valves and pistons when they open.. (wouldnt be the first time!)... Dumped heap of fresh oil over everything before putting the covers on.. Torqued everything i needed to, modified and fit the horribly manufactured 'calibre' intake gaskets, and yea not 100 % i dialed the cam in, because of math and things and people dont explain things in terms i can understand or something ... , so i just left it on 0 and hold faith in the manufacturer to grind it correctly lol 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vk304 Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 The sticker covering a scratch on my glove box fell off a while ago so i got a colour match one at a car show haha, awesome day though heaps of cool cars out karapiro...The car behaved well with the cam, did another oil change because, well, turns out if you dump a bunch of diesel through the engine, even if you flush it all out.... it will clean the sht out of everything and put it all in your oil and filter, then change filter and oil twice it still takes a good 100km to get rid of the crankcase fumes and residue burning off.. i would not recommend using diesel but i had mixed it with atf and initially thought it a ok method to flush out some small particles of gasket and crap i dropped in the valley from the heads... I was a bit confused about the smoky exhaust and fumes when i first drove it... But it runs great and sounds great now and i bet its clean inside now hahaha 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
