I'd firstly get a 'Doctor's Checkup' on your car through someone recommended on the WA Forum and take a list of Qs with you.

After 'a clean bill of health'...

a) change oil with a high quality product every 5000kms

b) don't go on boost until the engine has warmed up

c) let the turbos cool down whilst idling for a minute or so if you've been giving it a bit just before a destination

d) keep a watchful eye on anything of note from that 'Doctor's Checkup'

Welcome to SAU :banana: and enjoy that great car :D

change all the rubber hoses. These engines are too old and the rubber is usually all perished. Big engine coolant leak can suddenly cook your motor. Happend to me with mine.

and I mean ALL the hoses, not just the two radiator hoses. All the little ones, also the heater hoses, everything.

      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
