Cheers for that cubes!

Do you do this in your shed with the car on Jack stands, or is a hoist really more necessary?

Also, where can you get a flywheel machined southern suburbs, and any idea of cost?

Cheers!

I've only done one on the ground with jack stands and found it quite easy.

The old man used to have a pit in the house he recently sold; doing a gearbox in the pit was easy to get to bolts etc BUT getting the thing up and down was a pain in the arse as I had no gearbox lift. :D

No idea of where to get a flywheel machined down south, I used to do it down at a mates girlfriends dads mechanics shop at Aldinga when I was younger. I'll have to look soon though as Im up for another clutch soon. :S

Last time I had my flywheel machined the machinist did it as it was also being balanced for the new motor.

Ohhhh noooo scandyflick!!

What happened to the soara?

its still available afaik.

but using the money to move out will be infinitely better for my sanity.

ill have to wait and see though.

:) i'm sooooooooooooo happy today hehe

the lady (Lois) i help out in the op shop asked me today what i'm gonna do

after i've finished me hours there. i said i'd probably continue working there

and she had the biggest smile on her face.

i've only been there just over a month and they already trust me hehe

it's great.

she said it's hard to come by people like me :) (you should all take note of that :))

I tried to do some local volunteer work early last year.

It was a government organisation that helped elderly people get to there doctor's apointments, specialists, etc, etc. So i got all the info and arranged to have a meeting with the manager. And i got there and they laughed at me and said "why would a young person like you want to do that" so i went "ok" then and left.

f**k them if they are gonna laugh at me. Try to do something to help the community.

its still available afaik.

but using the money to move out will be infinitely better for my sanity.

ill have to wait and see though.

    • I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.
    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
