Hey Guys,

Im am about to get my engine detailed/painted, before i assemble it and was hoping you would have some photos of either your own engine bay or other hot looking ones.

So come on, dont be shy, show us your engine bay so I can get some idea's, because I spent half hour going through the SAU gallery and only found a few average photos.

:D

ive done it, it is an absolute **** of a job and i wish i didnt do it, bleeding hands and all the rest, i did cam covers, timing cover, coilpack cover, top half manifold, pretty much most shit, drop me a pm with your email ill give you more details and stuff, cant post pics coz there too large, i just put a low quality pic in my galleries

Looks good ylwgtr2, is that the factory red colour that GTR's have or custom?

What do you guys reckon, do the rb motors look better with the upper cam/timing cover on or left off, mine is a vvt engine?

Less chance of mincing fingers with it on, but what looks best?

Jolinator, send your pics to my email and ill host them for you.

Anyone else send them as well and ill host them up here.

LOL...i so love thsi pic, ive been posting it up everywhere:)

Im 90% sure the engine is fine, it was a coolant leak out of the heater hose that caused all the fuss....Last i checked, about 15 seconds earlier the water temp was fine, so im not expecting any engine probs.

So no plans other then getting it back on the road...if engine dies, well yeh some things may change, i dunno yet:(

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
