Oh ok so what happens if the face is flipped again? Is there anothe valve on the other side?

the face isn't flipped as such

originally LMs look like this

look closely at the picture of how the face is mounted and then look again at the picture i posted previously

originally the face is bolted on top of the lip

when reverse mounted the face sits behind the lip

Knox TMU are playing funny buggers :)

The usual dark green VE commodore.. but with an added twist... banged up toyota echo stirring up people at the traffic lights, then popping a u turn and following the cop car back for another lap when noone bites :)

lol Toyota Echo, you can beat it without even gunning it, there is just no effort there, they need a XR6 Turbo or something

So a drive a Portsea today and my oil temp is this :/

Ambient temp outside was about 27

Just did an oil change of Motul 8100 5w 40 Fully synthetic

Should I be worried? What are the consequences of a really hot oil temp?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
