Hi i know this has been covered b4, plenty of times, but i can't find what im looking for...with the headlights, creating that brown/yellow shit, i read that it can be cleaned. I ran some polish over mine, cleaned them up they look shinnier :) not that they were that bad. But when the headlight is on you can still see the foggy crap.

Now my question is, if i can get into the headlight and clean it from the other side will it permenatly damage the plastic...Cuz i don't know maybe it has like an anti fog on the back *bullshit; its not working if it does*....basically asking if i attempt this is it in the all clear.

(Wanna get them clean b4 i make eyelids)

Cheers.

Cleaning the inside won't do any damage if you open it up properly.

I recommend using a heat gun to melt the glue rather than putting it in the oven. I've had headlights melt while it was in the oven, it could've been because my oven was too small :) . I've since then used a heat gun to open up lights and it's all good. Just heat one section at a time and pull out, heat up another, pull out, etc.

You'll have to keep cleaning it to keep it looking nice like siddr20 said.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
