feet up today Dale?

Fkn I wish. Turns out I was so apparently keen at the interview on Friday, they asked me to start tomorrow, so I have been busier than a one armed walpaperer with an itchy sack :(

After 6 months of doing fckall, it feels REALLY good to say "..got work tomorrow..."

Suppose you'll find out Friday night. If she gets a turn?;-) chirping second like a angry caged cockato, luring you in to mongrel the index finger.

Did u get a short shift for it? I put a poxy speco gear knob on mine to replace the even poxier skull that was on it when I bought it. Then put a tomei duracon on it. Heaps better with the tomei loads more feel.

Be careful of the back mate. I've done the discs twice in the L1234, doc reconds next time operating. I do back excersizes everyday when I hit time and a half ;-) and wear a lumbar brace at work. I've found the thermoskin one from the chemist isn't so intrusive. Keeps the back warm and has rigidity plus flexibility. I mash the shower on red hot in the morning and compress the spine with the boiling hot water to warm it up. Works for me.

When it's been really bad after the herniation. I do excersizes in the hydrotherapy pool warm down in the spa over 2-3 weeks then build up to swimming laps in the heated indoor pool with training fins. Only freestyle stroke. The training fins really build up the lower back muscles.

I hear you bro. This isnt my first time on the roundabout though. Had herniation surgically removed from L4/5 twice before, this time they thought it would be the same, turned out to be an arseload of scar tissue from the first 2 ops, plus my disc had collapsed completely (hence the fusion) plus loaded up the L5/S1 so that one will be the next isue.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
