Hi guys

After getting a few parts put on my car, and requiring the power to be disconnected ( which it is still disconnected for the time being)

My boot wont shut. Its like the little doover on the boot wont click back and lock.

Is there power to the locker on the boot itself?

Or its just shat itself.

Try adjusting the little 'hook' thing that the boot holds onto. If you undo the nut holding it, you can adjust the hook up and down. Pull it up so that it's easier for the boot to hold onto it. I remember when my hook's nut was loose, it just dropped down and my boot couldn't grab it to lock.

Hope that made some sense.

When i took my rear spoiler off i must of drop a nut in the actual boot and made its way to the boot lock and jammed it.

My bloody luck i tell ya what. Only realised when i took the lock off this morning.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
