www.whiteline.com.au look under 'your car' find part numbers and ring your local whiteline supplier. I used their bushes and they are fine for minor tweaking of camber and castor. But for a real handling solution you need sway bars and more negative camber than these bushes can provide. We found the bushes were great for small adjustments as the welds on the upper control arm wasn't 100% accurate on both sides.

i replaced a set of these in a falcon at work the other day. we had replaced the bushes about a year before, with noelathane bushes, they flogged out, the stuff just crumbled away... these were the red noelathane brand.

however ive used noltec (blue ones) in my 31, replaced all the bushes and never had a problem, they have been in there for over 2 years now. no problems.

point being.....i dont rate the noelathane ones.

undertoe....simple answer, no! it wont make any difference to the feel.... all it does is allow the joint to have some flex without the use of a bush. much more advanced than a bush joint.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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
