Really, how do you ensure all the water is out?

I would have thought you use something that mix's with oil, once flushed run some cheap oil through it, drain it and then put the good stuff in.

you just turn the engine on, when it heats up the water dries...duh!!

my neighboor came over earlier and he undid the bolt undeneath and we drained the oil out then i used the hose to flush the oil out and squired in some washing up liquid to clean it out then flushed it again and after a while only clean water came out. now im trying to dry the water so it doesnt rust and im using my mums hairdryer, how long do you think it will take to dry out and what oil should i put in?? thanks i took a photo alsopost-80834-0-85379300-1296008622_thumb.jpg

It's good you have a responsible adult helping you. Scissors can be very dangerous.

As far as oil goes? I'd recommend your mum's Singer Sewing machine oil or Johnson's Baby oil.

:wacko: Good luck with that...

what a joke. do some reading before you touch mechanicals. ie Google if you dont know what the F you are doing.

get 2litres of kerosene and 2litres of methylated spirits, mix together in a bucket, flush the engine with the 4lt mix. Let it drain thru. let it dry for a cple hours.

then buy 5litres of $20 cheap oil and an engine oil flush additive (around $15 from a auto store). pour all this in.

run the engine for 10mins, IDLING only. No foot on accelerator.

then drain again, and fill with good oil, 5litres of Castrol Edge Sport 10/40, or Motul 300v, or Royal Purple, a decent oil worth around $75-$100 for the 5litres.

Dont skimp on the above.

Do as I suggest and you should be ok. Water in the engine is just stupid. Clean it out with kero/metho, then flush with cheap oil/oil flush additive, then replace with new fresh top brand oil.

hi im gonna buy some oil later but im not sure what to get and i dont have much money at the momant should i make sure the car is gonna work ok first before buying oil my neighboor is at work today so cant help me, i need to get this sorted today. thanks

Just tell your brother you dimwit!

it is plausable for someone to be so stupid, I've heard it happening before.

so if your serious, before you eff shit up even more, cut up some car wash sponges into little cubes and put it in the HKS cap part. You need to get all the water out first. then start it without oil and all the foam should come out of the screw hole at the bottom.

Vegetable oil works well, especially if you like the smell of canola

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
