Yeh, it could well have been my fault. Kick in the teeth considering how careful I was installing it, I was paranoid about even scratching anything. In any case, I guess it's irrelevant who caused it. It's happened now, better just get on with what I'm gonna do about it. Unfortunately I may be a little bit out of my depth now.

Alright guys, I just need to make it clear to anyone who has read/is reading this thread that I can't and don't blame the workshop for what has happened. I was upset yesterday about the situation with my car, and I've run my mouth off a bit in regards to it being their fault. That really wasn't the right thing to do, as this could all have quite easily been my fault, and I accept that and will just get on with fixing it.

Allstar have been nothing but helpful while I've had my car in there, and in fact continue to be helpful despite my comments on here. I guess a little bit of miscommunication between them and me about what exactly happened with the manifold lead to me jumping to conclusions, and voicing those conclusions on here wasn't the right thing to do. I have since spoken to them and they explained exactly what happened and what they did, and it's quite clear now that I am at fault and I apologize to them for what was said.

dont you hate it when workshops pull you up on what gets said online in public space in the free world...

I just wish I still had the lower section sitting in my garage that I could send over to you...

The lower manifold isn't an issue anymore, Allstar supplied a new one and replaced it. It's whatever has got or is getting into the motor jamming my valves open that is the problem.

oh, well in that case I wish I had another head to give you...

That one I would appreciate :P

Do they have you at knifepoint, should we send the police ...:P

So how did it break? or are you gunna be all suspenseful again..

I think I've got the knife at my own throat :/ lol. No but seriously. I did jump to conclusions.

Still not clear what caused the manifold to break though, probably incorrect tightening as you said. I fcked up with that bolt at the front by not drilling the hole out, so that has probably twisted the manifold.

Just out of curiosity, how do you tell compression is down on one cylinder under load?

Well it loses compression under full load, it doesn't pick back up straight away when it returns to idle or is switched off, which is when my tuner did the comp test. But after being switched off for awhile, it will get full compression back and is good to go again.

    • 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!
