Hi,

I have just put my engine back in the car after being rebuilt and ran into a couple of problems.

1) theres a wire coming out of the same harness as the + battery lead but I am unsure if it goes on the + or the - as when I check the continuity it measures as being connected to the earth But I am unsure if this if because its going through something and connecting back to the car or not.

2) I got a 80mm Throttle body from BMI when they were still Buzz Engines in Sumner Park QLD, I have no idea what TPS suites it. and before you say contact BMI, Well I have tried but seeing they packed up shop and Moved to the USA last december and the only scaps of BMI here is a dude who bought the stock to see it off as BMI

Any help you can provide would be a great help if me getting my car finally finished.

I gave Petro-ject a call to see if they could match one up, they said they have one that they are pretty sure is off a Ford... I am using a Adaptronic ecu, so the signal range won;t be a problem and it supports a very large number of TPS options.

Is there anywhere else that sells Tps's for less that $150 which I got quoted?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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
