m.j.h Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 See that truck thing coming up Wednesday on One HD? Looks alright! No but I'll check it out On a different topic I dropped the truck off to get some work done under warranty. Mainly a new headgasket as the bolts have streched and it leaking coolant I ask the service person if they got new headstuds for the job and they say no we will use the old ones they should be alright I thought all headbolts were a single use thing these days so will see what happens Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/67/#findComment-6538351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like seeing shit built I would be replacing the head studs if it was my car but depending on what the workshop manual says on those things will determine what is replaced under warranty as its all by the book! But seriously IF the leak is due to bolts stretching why the f**k would you re-use them? lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/67/#findComment-6538360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.j.h Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yeah it's due to stretch On the exhaust side and along the length of the block from the headgasket so yeah streched loose bolts Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/67/#findComment-6538382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I would come with you guys on Sunday but unfortunately I'll be outside fishing On a unrelated note I went to the BP near work this arvo for fuel and the young bloke behind the counter says "I was wondering who owns that car. I've seen it in the car park and a mate of mine owns 33" Was a bit surprised as I don't think the car gets noticed that much Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/67/#findComment-6538989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
