Boostd - was that you at UAS the other day - you came in and talked to John about your car etc ???

I think we met - but it didn't click until now !

I was the one fixing up their (UAS) internet connection (out of the goodness of my heart) (me = Fat ugly bastard that John kept asking questions and bragging about how good my car is now that they have rebuilt it he he he he) :P

It's all makes sense now ! I think !

yes that was me B-man, sorry didn't click for me either. I will jump on the NSW thread and check some of the up coming events. You will have to introduce me to the ways of the East.

Steve: Moving into my new place next week. I have enough room for you if you ever decide to come across. The drive over was pretty unexcitng for me doin the speed limit and all. I must say tho my engine feels fantastic now it's cover over 4000k's. UAS have a great Dyno setup with up to six indivdual detonation sensors. The guys offered me the office space above to live ,but , I had to decline. Shan is coming up to visit in a couple of weeks. I don't think she would like living there to much if she decides to stay =) would have some advatages tho.

Dean: Sydney is treating me well. There is ten times the stuff to trade, sell and buy. I'm not the only one down here with a VG30 hybrid. You name it, you got it. I love it.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
