    Good news, Folks! The engine builder came over to have a look at the damage. He was happy that the rods were OK. He told me to check the valves by doing the following: rotate the cam until the valves were closed on each cylinder in turn. Fill the ports with petrol and watch for leakage.

    All were watertight, except the inlet on #1 cylinder, which wept ever so slightly, which is still good to go.

    I am waiting on a head gasket, and will fit it ASAP. Now I just gotta remember where everything goes

    Thanks, TD. The engine builder port and polished the head, then used his vacuum test bench for maximum flow.

    I need help, please, to fit a new E locker. If you have experience with fitting the lockers, I will drive to where ever needed in Vic or SA to get it done and will pay for your time. Thank you for your replies.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Which part are you having trouble with Craig???

    Have you tried Trident at the Mount (I know nothing about them)? Heywood Auto (I do know about them), i've been told, have fitted several ARB lockers, I know they're different, but it can be done locally. They send the centres to Portland to get done to them what ever it is that gets done and they install it.

    I THINK there is a Harrop mob in Ballarat??
