well i know where to park for the nats as the area surrounding EPIC can get quite congested. We could all meet up in Dickson, the nearest shopping area, then drive up the road to the parking areas before going into the nats. it depends on what times/days people are arriving as most of the festivities occur on the saturday, especially at night :P

Friday night would be a good time to meet up. We could get together at the Tradies carpark at Dickson & you could lead the cruise from there. What time would you suggest?

Friday night, mmmmmmmmmm, my posse might be out at that time. What about mid afternoon? Like around 4 or 5? Through to like 8-9?

I might just turn up for the meet then back off to my gang.

Yeah, thats what I thought. Mid-late arvo, then off to do our own thing. Lets call it 5.30 till whenever.

I wouldn't cruise on the friday night, unwritten rule of summernats: locals keep car in garage on friday night. the cops are out in force and basically block off the main cruising routes after 10pm. an earlier cruise could work though, if we wanted to meet up, head around the lake or something for a few shots and a cruise through the city?

I agree there Leshy. Since Rob will not be joining us due to his tree excursion, it looks like it will be the two of us plus Alex. Should we settle on 6pm Friday, we could meet at the carpark in Dickson outside Woollies, then have a nice leisurely cruise around the city, have a few photos near the parliamentary triangle, then back to Dickson around 8pm. We can then head off our own ways from there. How does that sound? :)

sounds good to me. i'll be around for it. I was talking to marc yesterday, he still doesn't know the outcome of his accident (write-off or repairable) but he's getting around in his SSS Bluebird at the moment. I can't remember, but he might be hooking up with us too.

All other stageas heading to the Nats, join us on friday for a little cruise.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
