Hey guys, found out the other day my CAS was fkd, so bought another unit from a workmate who had a spare engine in bits, my question here being, is there a particular way the CAS goes back in, was dark and had piss poor visibility by this point (garage has no power at this point due to electricity being ran underground currently to the fresh concrete) is there a locating face? It's been quite a while since I have done a CAS, last one was on a sr20 but was completely different in the way it was driven..

I'm sure it can't be overly complicated but rather than have the headache later, one Or 2 of you guys would surely been down this rd before, if you can spare a minute or two, I'd appreciate it guys.

Cheers,

Gav.

Yeah there should be a half moon section in the spline of the CAS and a matching one on the end of the cam. If that is there it will only go in one way and you'll be fine (will still need to check/set the base timing)

If the half moon is not there (they are known to come out of the CAS) then you will have more of a problem.

      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
