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.

So any news as yet?

Was the head pressure tested hot?

Did you dye penetrant the block deck surface while it (the head) was off?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
