  • 2 weeks later...

i have been suffered by a stupid engine problem (killing spark plugs) for over a month and have spent around 250 on the plugs as well as some amount of money spent in another workshop (they are good but i guess they are just too busy to look at my car properly)

finally, holidays are all over, so i wake up early today and gave Ben a call see if he is available. Anyway, i was running late and dropped the car in around 3.00pm...i took 1 hour bus trip back to monash uni plus 1 hour walk to McDonald's and back home~~~!!! Guess what~~~!!??? as soon as i got home, i got a phone call from Ben...all fixed...unbelievable right~~~!!!

All i want to say is Ben you are the best in VIC and thank you for your help~~~!!!!

Its not a question of "other" workshops being busy or anything mate.

They just simply dont know what they are looking at.

Ben will work it out, and it wont cost you the earth like other workshops who just p|ss fart around for weeks on end taking pot luck guesses at what the problems are.

There are too many average joe workshops in Vic, especially in the western suburbs. 99% of them have no idea

    • 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)
