the lower mounting point of my rear shock absorbers are worn (the rubber bit which has the bolt going through it)

can you buy and replace that round bit of rubber?

my shocks are in good condition and quiet so i dont realy need to change them, would pedders or some store along those lines have them?

any info would be great !

The rubber is bonded to the shock in most cases

Tein use a pressed bush.

Bilstein use a slight rubber bond, and a much larger bush size fron stock.

Simply, its not that easy, Unless you can measure your stock shock eye and then matching up a urethane bush is still hard, as the factory bonded crush tube is tapered.

I don't think so, if there is enough wear that the rubbers are worn out then the shocks are equally as worn out.

      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
