I've seen this before on a car that got hot , sent the head in and got it checked out which came back A-ok , had it planed anyway , bought a new HG and problem solved ... We put it down to the Hg being 'flattened off' caused by over heating :) .

pics of what ?? honesly everything minta.

Heads going to rhemac tomorrow should find out about that tuesday .

But if its not that the only other place i can think they could be mixing is hrought the turbo ????

2 head studs i pulled out had oil thought it was nothing unusal ?? just got in there wen i pulled em up or something ???

Not 2 sure on a 25 but a 26 pumps oil past the head studs for the cam bearings.Just look on the head down the headstud holes & there will be 2 holes to let the oil around the headstud.Was it pure oil on the studs u pulled out?

Head is now at Mechanicks getting tessted and faced.Hopefully something come backs there but bye the first look he was happy with it.Ive just finished cleaning most the gasket of of the block and is no visual signs there as im sitting around doing nothing its stating to bother me with what it could actually be.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
