hey guys

just wondering if you guys can recommend me to some good things to pretty up my engine bay?

a clean, polish what ever... just note the BOV and the Oil Catch Can Are no longer there, the bov pipe has been replaced with the Factory Black Piping... and the Valley cover is missing, the top pic is the most recent ...

any Ideas would be great ;)

HKS t51r, 3" titanium piping, metal flow air filter, anodoised blue cam covers, splitfire coilpacks, hks oil cap + radiator cap. 3" radiator with silicon hoses, blue vacuum lines, polished inlet plenum.... thats just for starters. :cheers:

nah seriously, clean the engine bay first, and blow all the water away with compressed air if you can. clean everything, everything on the strut towers and firewall aswell. polish up your cam covers with some fine sand paper and metal polish... if your keen you can do the same with the plenum. all black hoses, wipe over with armour-all, ud be suprised how much difference this makes... do it to everything thats black.

and generally just tidy thing up, any hoses that can be run out of sight makes everything look neat. coloured vacuum lines do look good, but dont get cheap ones as they will suck in when they get hot. even though they are pretty, try and run them as out of sight has you can.

also, take the battery out and clean up under as there is some missing paint there, give that a bit of a touch up...clean the battery aswell.

if you have the time, start at 1 corner and work your way around...and if anyone tells you that its a dumb idea tell em to get stuffed...theres nothing wrong with wanting a clean and tidy engine bay...it doesnt mean your a ricer.

cheers

      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
