noisey lifters? exhaust mani gasket?

wrong side of the engine for exhaust. and its not an air sound...if you know what i mean.

could be lifters...prob should see a mechanic...but dont have time. in a way i hope it f**ks up so i can do this conversion quicker....but if it does then i cant really sell it...so hopefullly its nothing major.

oh yeah and painting is next week...priming etc was on done on saturday....looking for someone to flare the guards before saturday....anyone know anyone?

wooohooo my car no longer missfires of has stupid knock levels on pfc

twas an easy fix removed coilpacs and plugs gave it all a really good clean with electrical contact clean and lube put all back in and car is going schweet

#2 spark plug had white powder stuff all on the top side of it and a little bit of rust this coensides with the place i am missing one of the coilpack cover allen bolts so water had cot in and sat there

also found my 12mm socket in there sitting on the nut holding in the coilpacks - was wondering where that got to....

shithouse ones ;)

nope

meh, u were waaaay down the list buddy :)

P.S howd the car come up paint and kit wise?????

and depends what it sounds like, could be bigend, but if its bigend it woulda gotten HEAPS worse by now, like the vid of my gtr i showed u

i wanna see vid shane

clever....but not in the mood for stoopidity atm

meh its k..

no does sound like a big end cause you cant hear it on idle..and only when the engine starts getting some load on it.

yeah and it still runs fine and revs fine.

sorry rohan.. :P

perhaps its ur intake gasket if its the other side of the engine.. detonation.. get a screw driver and prod around..

its not an air sound unfortunately, and its not detonation cause it is happening at 4000rpm no matter how far the car is boosted, whether it be still under negative vaccum or positive pressure.

It was far too stock for its own good.

indeed it was. and i only got to drive it on boost ~3 times :)

I guess this will make sense will i've met Dan

yeh he's easy to spot, just look for the big goofy bastard :action-smiley-069:

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
