Only one of those things is a test, the rest is prep work

True, but it is a list of what they did to prepare the block, I was surprised at some of the things they have to do to get it ready.

Taking a while to sort the problems - they must have known they gave you an unfinished product.

My shop wouldn't bloody give me the car until they had done 200km's on the engine. 150km's were on the dyno and 50km's were road testing.

But I am glad they did that.

What's the result of the work Pete, leak found?

I can only assume it was that hose, it must have only leaked under load as I could not see it and they had a apparently noticed some scum or something but it did not show up until after a long time under pressure ??

Have seen that before.. Leaks under hard throttle only

From what was said there was no noticeable power gains with the addition of the larger dump pipe, said he took the exhaust off and there was some good gain. Very disappointing at this stage but as long as it is going hard to 7500-8000rpm without farting and I do not have to top up every day, all good :yes:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
