my guess is the first pic

But i dont know much :P

just did the upper engine cleaner thing today....did my head in!! proceedure is quite simple enough...though if ur not careful and stick the spray tube in the vac hose in pic one...chances are that it will at some point suck the friggin tube into the manifold as it did with mine....arrgghh. spent half an hr or so takin the throttle body of and pickin out the plastic tube!! best place to spray it is through the BOV vac hose when engine is runnin cause if the tube gets sucked in it wont go all the way in and u can pull it out without takin the engine appart. was expecting the cloud of smoke that was supposed to come out of the exhaust when u rev to purge it but all i got was just a puff of black stuff...hehe. then again i did leave the stuff in the engine longer than the 10min stated cause i had to fish out that damn tube.....otherwise my engine was pretty much clean in the first place. used the remaining can in a 94 prelude that hasnt been serviced in the 3 yrs that my mate has had it for. damn there was smoke everywhere which was a sign that the engine was really dirty inside...so im sure this stuff works!! as for performance, well the car runs smoother than before, that could be due to the motul 8100 that i put it the other day though.

so if ur engine isnt that dirty inside (carbon buildup) then u wont notice much, but its an easy, cheap and simple thing to do and is recomended every 2nd service which i will be doin from now on (and alot more carefully too!!):):D

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
