As title states, I'm going to be filling up my rb20 manual box from the selector hole as I can't remove the filler hole on the side of the box as I only got a 17MM spanner which only works with the open end side. I don't have any 4 sided socket that fits over that bolt.

I'm using a BFH with the spanner aswell.. Won't budge.. I have a breaker bar I can use but I don't have any socket that fits over the bolt..

Anyone know how much oil I should put in ? I can't take the filler plug off so I might aswell just drain it and measure how much im putting in from the top.

cheers

Use vice grips or something to get that off.

I replaced that one with the same type of plug as the drain, so I can crack it with a 1/2" drive ratchet.

What I do is take the filler off, fill from the shifter until oil is JUST starting to overflow out of the filler, then chuck the filler plug back on.

From memory it's about 2.2 litres.

Where did you buy the same type plug from ?? I want to replace both the plugs on them as they are chewed from the previous owner!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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
