Ok I need some help once again. I finally started my 25/30 for the first time yesterday and it was going as fine as it could for no AAC, bigger cams and no tune. So I put it into the shed to do a check up later last night at about 11pm and when I started the car is made a tapping noise. It sounds like it is coming from the back of the head. Another member posted a video on youtube and it sounds exactly the same

Way too loud to be injector pulse. Im thinking it is either big end bearing or lifters. I didnt get the car above 4000 yesterday and only putted around in third gear (went to the servo) so I dont know how it could be a bearing! Knowing my luck it is and I will have to pull the f**king thing out again. I topped up the oil to see if the noise may go away but it was still there.

Now about half an hour ago I went to start the car to see if it made the noise when it was a little warmer outside and the bloody thing wont start at all. Maybe my plugs are completely fouled from the overfueling?

Please help :down:

Yeh I have oil pressure. I pulled the plugs out today to put new ones in and found out one of the plugs has loss a little bit of metal down in the motor. Do you reckon I can get a little flexi magnet pen to try and get it out? How much damage can it do? God dam I have no luck

Ok turns out the plug wasnt snapped it had melted. It was just that covered in black crap. I have put new plugs in it but it still isnt wanting to start. Any ideas on what it might be? I have tried winding it over and I got a couple of backfire sounding noises. Someone please help :laugh:

If your plug melted, sorry your in deep sh#t. A melted plug usually also means big knock and a holed or melted piston is also common. Covered in black crap means heaps of gunked up oil and stuff. I'd do a compression test but if your lifters aren't working it may not mean anything.

      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
