Am I missing something ?

Pulled the whole car apart to replace all bushings and put everything back together, the only thing I'm stuck at is putting the rear rotors back on!

I put everything back together according to the manual (and reference photos I took before pulling apart the shoes/springs etc because I knew I'd have a hard time remembering where everything goes).

The toothed adjuster is also adjusted all the way IN to pull the shoes in closer.

The rotors/shoes are not new which makes me scratch my head even more :/

^^^what he said. You may find there is a slight lip - sand it down with emery paper to get rid of it. The other problem can be getting the shoes within the circumference of the drum - tap them left and right to make sure they are centralised in the drum.

What Kiwi said, most likely the lip inside the drum.

Bush mechanic way to fix it- disc on the hub back to front so the inside is facing out, both wheels off the ground, idling in first gear, angle grinder on the lip and a few seconds later perfect. It's like a poor mans lathe!

      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
