get it delivered on a truck... problem solved. call Jack at Citywide towing, he will get your car to your house without breaking shit and he's an SAU member so he gives other SAU members good rates.

Just don't get right foot happy with a car that you just picked up from the docks. Its usually got shitty fuel, a bad tune and fluids that need to be flushed. Chances of someone driving into you is minimal, and if you drive patiently you should be able to get home in one piece.

Although keep in mind if this is your first "dock experience" be very very patient. Take a portable jumpstart kit or fully charged battery, jumper cables, a jerry can, 10mm and 12mm spanner and a phillips screwdriver. And if its a modified car, you'll most probably foul the plugs if you don't start/idle it properly when you crank it after weeks of non running.

Thanks heaps for the tips. I'll definately keep them in mind when im getting my shit ready tomorrow morning.

It's actually not the docks im picking the car up from as the ship landed in Brisabane and then they put it on a train down to Melbourne :D So hopefully it has been started since it landed and had some fuel flow through the system.

Thanks again.. Appreciate it.

      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
