Some genius broke into my precious VL commodore last night and stole my super expensive and high quality Sony Xplod head unit. It's awesomeness predates removable faceplates and high powered outputs (it was only 4 x 45W).

I fully expect the genius who stole it to get about $20 for it on the street so he can continue his ice habbit, however I now have a hole in my high-powered, high security vehicle. Does anyone have a shitter old head unit they don't want anymore (or would sell for <$30) just so I can listen to the radio. This car was only temporary while I do some work on mine (which is almost finished, hoorah!) and I only used the CD player for the radio because I don't think the CD player actually worked.

Anywho, If you see some dodgy bastard trying to sell a very old and used sony xplod head unit around Melba, punch him in the kidney for me.

Hey Leshy,

I have an oldish JVC that you can have for $20, I think Ive still got the wiring and plug for the back of it too.

I think it still plays CD's (not very well though).

Its yours if you want it. :blush:

Awesome, as long as it plays FM radio I'm happy. What are your movements for the next few days?

I just checked the car over. They stole the interior light bulb, busted the drivers side lock, yet they forgot to take the plug for all the stereo wires, so not only did they steal a crappy head unit, but it won't work without that plug. they must have been the SMRT ones

    • FWIW, I've aerated oil, and cams snapped. You can figure out the rest 🥲
    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
