ken; well only know once the head is off

everyone has told me that number 4 valve screwed = something was dropped. but well have to wait and see

i dont remember anything being loose and altho we may be cowboy mechanics, we aint THAT cowboy

ahhh , youv'e lost me.

I said that if a bolt has gone in , there is nothing your mate will be able to do at your place unless he has valve spring compressor, seat refacing tool and a die grinder so will have to go to a specialist.

you wouldnt believe the quotes i got from workshops though. just for removing and reinstalling the head was $400

I actually thought that was pretty reasonable based on the decent shops charge $65ph these days and it would come with a warranty.

btw

Page ownage again . Hehehe

whats the deal with the carbon build up thing?

Engines can get carbon buildup , especially if they have a poor servicing history or are driven sedately.

Changing things can disturb the carbon or a sudden difference in the driving style can shift it.

Ever heard of the freeway tune.

* no worries Gramps , give us ten minutes*

6K down the freeway in 2nd or third usually solves it.

* that will be $100 thankyou Gramps *

    • I like their veal scallopini.
    • Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge
    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
    • Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
