Still on the motor but so far looks spotless. The throttle body was clean as whistle. I'll chuck up a photo when i get it off. . .Quote:

Hate to say it but 3 litres are pretty easy to work on- while out of the car anyway, everything seemed to go pretty smoothly . . . Nice little surprise! !Quote:

can i ask how much was raised and how much more to go..Please...........
Yeah no worries, was going to have a final look tomorrow and get a firm price off the builder also. I'll put up some prices tomoz. Thinking i might have to do a little spread sheet so i don't get all confused ! ! . . .Quote:

How did it go mate did you have a chance to see the engine builder
Yep, went very well engine is droped off. He is a great bloke was there for nearly an hour chatting and pretty much wandered throughout the workshop. Got there the door was closed, knocked on the door then he opened the roller door and there was massive GQ clean as high mount on 37s then thought this is looking good! ! (Was his one) Anyway new one should be ready Friday or Monday same deal. He's pretty laid back haven't paid for out yet as transfer wasn't available.Quote:

Total funds that have been raised from contributions and raffle is $4,302.Quote:

As i said no pressure, I think it has been a pretty amazing result so far but the opportunity is still there (to chuck in) if anyone would like.
Correct me if I am wrong but $5,940 less $4,302 is $1,638 shortfallQuote:

Another generous donation taking the total to $4402 !!
Did that paying my credit card once, the bank whacked me for interest then got me next month as it took a few days for the statement to arrive, mongrels.Quote:

Life has to be real bloody good for you and Jane about right now.
Yeah be interesting having a closer look at it. The poor old thing certainly smelt like burnt oil. Sure Omar will have his theory, certainly seems to know his s#!t ☺Quote:

Only my theory though.
was thinking along those lines thanks mateQuote:

I may be able to sneak away from there on Saturday arvo. Depending on how much we get down I suppose....
Free after then. Lol.
X2 on this one I know there is a lot of talk about piston cooling squirts causing piston melt down but I think injector driple is more to blame but gets overlooked as the piston melts and destroys the evidenceQuote:
