So we had warnings of massive hail. To protect the Dayz I covered it from front to back with bubble wrap. Very clever. No

f@%*+ng way. When I took the wrap off today I found that there had been a chemical reaction between the wrap and the clear coat. It looks like a honey comb effect. The red duco is now randomly speckled white. It looks UTS.

Oh well looks like a complete respray is now a needed.

Anyone else had a bright idea that wasn't?

Maybe this could be a place to make your confessions.

I got some and the spray stuff. Cost $50 and did stuff all.

Going to try very fine wet and dry to see if that works, if not atotal respray.

talk to a detailer, tell them what happened and let them have a go. you could end up doing more damage to something that might be fixable.
i would definitly give a pro a couple of hundred before shelling out thousands.

our dealership had balloons out in 40+ deg head. the paint popped them on contact and they the melting rubber sat on the paint for a weekend. marked to shit. the paint men got them back to shiney new so they can do some amazing things.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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
