Workin' it, Jerkin' it, putting the smoke back inside big machines and stuff.

Life is like a box of chocolates, out in the sun on a hot day...... melted into an unrecognizable mass of sh1t!

Working till lunchtime and driving back home to melb. Then I've got a 3 day weekend. It will be nice as I've worked the last 10 days straight here in hot Horsham. 39.4 degrees today!

Nothing inspiring people. Im on a plane early to fly to the other side of the country so i can walk up stairs to the top of 20mtr high, 190deg C tanks all day...lots of fun :)

So many interesting things to be doing and we are all basically beign army ants and going to work :(

sound interesting to me. what's in the tanks?

i'll be right here on my couch spamming on sau. Why? cos i am home from work sick with nothing better to do just like today :) . If i can be bothered i might track down a filter and do a service on chloe and put my lockbar in too.

Bitumen...not interesting at all...its hot, smelly and id rather be poolside with the looks of whoever is hot in hollywood this month pulling big bank and the women...but oh well. Sweat, body odour and climbing up on hot tanks is it for me :)

My Thursday is more exciting than normal.

I resigned from my job on Monday...and they made me leave Tuesday on full pay for the next few weeks...

So Thursday for me consists of...

Checking the oil in my R33..cos I topped it up today

Going down and getting breakfest from my fav. cafe and have a few coffees and read the latest Fast 4s some1 gave me today.

Head into the city for a going awaya party for another person who left recenelty..

Free lunch from a vendor looking to butter me up before I start my new job.

Meeting with my mate form Uni who has started his own business. I think he is looking for projects also...

Then hooking up with Alan (saff_cossie), for another coffee.

Then heading down to Port Melb to pick up some 2nd hand FTO bits from an ex-club memeber so I can ake a fully sick Ipod setup in my FTO...

Then try and make it to the mini meet to see whats going on...lets hope I can make it. But if all goes to PLan, Alan and I will be drinking cos it will be hot as.

Sums up my thursday.

haha, I'm bored already.

After a big day SCUBA diving today, I might start the hunt for a 3.0l block and get stuck into building an engine for Red.

The day is going to be too windy to spend in the garage fitting the thermofan setup to Purple.

Chris, man of leisure, how about hook me up with some FTO seats for my Lynx. Better yet let's catch up somewhere so I can try then on again just to make sure first.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • 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.
