guys,

got a problem with my HICAS. starts in the morning light off and steering is fine.. but after driving it, turn it off and start again, light on

and heavy in the wheel.. tried all the stuff in the hicas threads and maybe will try to 4 wheel alignment tomorrow, coz the rear wheel

maybe in angle coz the left goes inside a bit and right goes out.. ( maybe this causing the lights on??? )

anybody knows can do 4 wheel alignment?

or anyone can help me for this cause got driving training this saturday...

thanks guys...

All i can think of is that the power sterring fluid tank needs more fluid. When the car is dead cold, the power steering fluid levels are high. When you drive it, fluid levels drop down when the car gets to its running temp resulting in there not being enough fluid in the tank. When turning the car off and then back on i would say its detecting that the fluid levels is low hence the reason why the steering is heavy and the light is on.

The only other thing it can be is the power steering pump. Does it make a weering noise from the powersteering pump when the steering is heavy?

      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
