a few more silly questions...

1-at this stage the engine is standard is castrol gtx2 a decent oil to run in an engine this age?

2-im thinking of fitting an engine oil filter relocation kit if this is possible as well as a catch can, can i run both my engine oil outlet and catch can outlet into the filter inlet via a t piece and then from the filter outet to a cooler and back to the engine? or is this a waste of time anyway at most once i rebuild/modified the engine im only estimating around 200 hp

3-what is adecent set of brake pads/as well as brake combination to handle the proposed output the car is intended for street use, i have considered upgrading to a 5 stud pattern using r32 gtr discs and calipers and master cylynder but is that just overkill?

any advice would b apreciated

      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
