    cheers mate ,,,thought it was i think i was reading the thread wrong . just to check things over with the timing..ive lined up the fly wheel to its mark and got the intermediate shaft lined up using the line on the block behind the open circle with the tooth on the cams are on with the cutouts facing upwards and a plate in the other side to hold them...i have no timing mark on the crank pully which is a pain and after refitting the gbox ive lined up the mark in the hole in the top of the gbox i know this is not the prefered mark to go off but it lines up nice......

    should be done for sat. the dreaded white shit was caused by the 3 layer gasket and a couple of head bolts were not up to torque hense the poppin noise water pressure..the new samco hoses look the dogs and better cos no boost leak sounds completly nuts with the forge valve on like a fkn tornado...when u back over dude..going to the ring ass end of april

    cheers mate ive just taken the oil cooler off and its all fine no water in the oil jackets,so heading to the head gasket,yer the bore size on the 2mm spacer is slightly bigger than the original ones,so may remove and just run 1 standard gasket this should be ok running 6psi rotrex..hope the valves are fine as all new around 5 months ago should be done by sunday work permitting..
  24. pfennell
    cheers fellas ill give the cooler a go hopefully its that...any ideas on the loud clonking noise cannot pin point as it sounds like it is in different places every time it sounds

    yes dropped compresssion using a 2mm spacer gasket and 2 original gaskets running 6psi but only ran engine for around 40 mins in total over 2 days.how can i check the oil cooler to see if it is working properly. when i did my comp test the front 3 were on 98psi and the rear 3 ranged from 120 to 128 psi if that helps
