Dialing the cams in

Turbo side bolted on, making up oil/ coolant lines

Will take pics tomorrow as it sits today, still waiting on the intake manifold and injectors to arrive before I put it in. Quiet annoyed that I was not advised it would take 4 weeks for them to make the manifold... could have just bought a greddy off the shelf and had it in by now!

I disabled the VCT because I wanted to run big cams, to block it off I simply tapped and grub screwed the feed into the head.

Still awaiting my intake manifold who would have thought it would take 8 weeks from Victoria to Perth...

I think you will be in trouble doing it like that. If it was a neo it would be fine, but pre neo use that feed to lube the front cam bearing. look into the intrrnal vct mod as that will supply oil to the bearing.

Look into how the front cam bearing gets its oil. It's through the vct supply that you have blocked off. How will it be lubed now? You can still do the intrrnal feed with the engine in.

It would be lubed the same way the rest are they don't all have an individual oil feed from the block, I've read up on it before doing it and I've noticed plenty of people have blocked it off by welding or grub screwing it.

Fair enough, if you look at the thread that guy thinks differently, also spoke to my machinist when welding my feed (neo head) and he mentioned non neo use that feed for the front cam bearing, as he had seen a head destroyed as a result. But if you have done your research is your engine to decide what you do.

And keep in mind that the typically when people block the oil feed by welding or grub screwing, they either do the internal feed or run an external line (as most would be keeping VCT)

I understand what your saying and it makes sense, I've spoken with my local tuner and machinists and they have seen the same thing done before so I'm confident it will be fine, if not I will regret not doing it but I'll cross that path when it gets here

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
