After seeing Adrian and Erins avatar, I think all of the QLD section should upload their very own Harrow councillor for the rest of the week...they're just gold!

just a quick question, why do all the seppos say torni-ket as opposed to torni-kay? (Torniquet) Hell the chick in evanescence even butchers it more. Sounds like turnih-ket which isn't even close.

 

 Chris.... I'm looking in your direction.

funny you should mention that as I have been watching a doco on the Abc for the last 5 weeks called "Lost Worlds" and it has been about the formation of the English language.

Did you know that when the Pilgrim fathers in America in 1620 they took great efforts to maintain the purity of the language they spoke. They borrowed relatively little from the natives, and the regional accents of the early settlers blended t

Later, Scots and the Irish added their influence. As English spread across the North American continent, it also started to move away from the language spoken in England.

At the end of the 18th century and in the early 19th century Noah Webster's Book of American Spelling standardised spelling across the United States. As settlers went west, new words and phrases developed, while African slaves introduced elements of their own native languages into the vernacular.

However I am sure I have heard Americans pronounce tourniquet correctly and if it is being mispronounced you can't rule out that the speaker is just poorly educated.

    • 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
