Could do, do not know. I will probably have the motor out by the look of things and will see what can be done at the same time ???

Who is doing the work?

Why the cam change?

Were they dialled in extensively last tune?

Why not just chuck some chemiweld in?

Jez will be doing the work.

Cams were dialled for a more even result, top and bottom

I believe Chemiweld had already been used, but that is only a guess

If I did change the CR . probably go 9:1

But I will not make any decision until it is pulled down and the problem found and go from there once I find out the initial problem :(

If you're happy with everything else then why not just resolve the head gasket issue?

Who said it was a head gasket, hope you are right, I tend to always think the worse and anything less is always a better outcome :)

Not going to say anything until the problem is found and fixed, I will go from there but while the car is in the shop might do a couple of tweaks.

Car goes in 12th of next month :rolleyes:

I will not bore you blokes until I have some results and poke the new Dyno Graph up

  • Like 1
  • 4 weeks later...

hmm I was just thinking about this thread the other day.

cracked block would be a bad outcome, but it doesn't really reflect on any shop involved in the build, its more just bad luck. You were pushing a mile of power through a standard wall block and it's not unheard of.

I am amazed sometimes on this thread.

At first the water lose was on a low boost run in tune and limited to 5000rpm, this was in March this year.

This water situation started from the first day of the build, it was not noticeable at first as I was checking the radiator, cold in the mornings and not the overflow, once the overflow emptied then it was noticeable from the radiator. I have always checked from the radiator so I knew exactly how much water was being used, I used a measuring cup.

The amount used on different driving situations was and is the same from day one as it was when we found the water in the oil.

Yet the oil still looked clean on the stick , not as you would expect ?

Edward lee now crd?

If I am not mistaken they said they tak no responsibility for any issues after Jez touched it. Therefor the only way you will have a chance at getting them to fork up for the new repairs is by taking them to court.

Or am I mistaken

I took them to NCAT, a tribunal were you can negotiate and come to a mutual agreement, I sat at home on the phone during this procedure. he was just a smart arse and told me to fark off, I didn't!

This situation is early days and the motor has to be checked , I am sure it can be worked out, until then it is just another bump in the road.

Some blokes should put themselves in the other persons shoes before posting, think about what you would do in the same situation , roll over like a dog , yeah sure ?

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
