if it's all stock you could maybe get away with a 5, probably leaning towards too hot though.

Yeah pretty much esp with stock coils to use the BCPR6ES as yeah you get better contacts, also VL Turbos run them so out here in the boonies at least I know I can get them just about anywhere. You could probably use the -11 (denotes 1.1mm vs 0.8mm gap) given you have it pretty stock.

Why didn't you try the coilpack elimination first like I said? Now you've gone and wasted your money on plugs and it didn't solve it...

Add learn to read the whole thread to your list of things to do, including losing your virginity Mohsen :)

anyway, buying an ignitor off a fellow forum member :) read on another forum a guy had the exact same problems as me and it was the ignitor.

if you're not getting it for bugger all, then it's stupid to replace shit if you don't know that it's that causing the problem. I'm sure anywhere in the northern 'burbs you can find a mechanics with a beat up R32 out the front to swap parts from lol

what happens when you swap coil pack one and two then do the coil pack elimination thing that Birds suggested? does the miss move to where you put the suspected dud coil pack? If so it aint your ingnitor

this stuff is pretty easy you just need to use logic to isolate the broken bit

you dropkick i told you last night in vic wasteland to investigate the igniter!

He doesn't listen mate! I say let him spend his money lol.

Could be the loom plug for cylinder one, ignitor...or fuel related.

i took out the loom and had a good look at it, seems the actual plugs have deteriorated. will get it checked out tomorrow and post up the results

You are such a twit! I'm surprised you didn't just buy a new engine and cut out the middleman. I understand what you said about the learning curve but yours is more like a quadratic.

birds, im narrowing it down.

checked out my loom properly, looks like plug 1 was crushed internally. so i cleaned it out. will try and connect the - connectors to the + ones on the coil packs when i get home

if it isnt that

then ill move onto injectors.

      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
