OK, so...

rpm is out... what feels like red line is reading about 5000rpm. upon hittin the clutch the dial falls slowly.... rather then dramatically back to low rpm

speed is off... amid 60km/h traffic my speedo reads about 80km/h...

all other aux. gauges seem fine...

what should i do? what would be the cause?

trip to the auto eleco perhaps??

First:

I suspected that u probly damaged the shaft, while removing the needle.

try to remove them again, but this time Push the needles back slowly, and gently.

To test it, just turn up ur needle and see if it drop back to zero freely and slowly without any hesistation?

Second:

Could be the overlay is not made of good quality, it might be not as smooth as OEM, cause it to not moving freely.

and If u have Not calibrate ur speedo needle, then u should calibrate it. Turn the needle clockwise, adjust so that the needle siting at ZERO.

thats all i could help,

cheers,

darrien

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
