Best do an update in here, over the last week I've put in a set of genuine gearbox mounts, genuine drivers side engine mount, Superior Engineering passengers side engine mount, 3 core Rapid Cool...

If your fan is cracked, and you're thinking of going bigger power down the road then I'd look at an upgraded unit now and get it over and done with. Just need to watch how they fit with bigger...

It's a UFI setup.

The temps do seem low, not sure if that's what it's running at or the gauge isn't reading right? Maybe there's a small airpocket around the sender unit? Seeing as though i didn't drain ther block, I...

First up you need to work out what power level you want. Don't get too hung up on boost numbers. Gturbo tend to make similar power to UFI turbos but at a few psi less. Then you have Performance 4x4...

Will do Stropp, thanks.

Found out my fan hub was not delivered last Friday as they had my address wrong, so it's just been sitting there patiently waiting for somebody to enquire about it. I hate...

I get the whole WA bit, but I'm always waiting for these guys, everything else can come from anywhere else in the country (including WA) or overseas in less time.

I spoke to the local mechanic...

Ok, that gives me hope. I did watch Pirtek crush a Brass fitting one day down to a smaller size so I am hopefull it will just find it's way in there. I haven't undone the drain plug omn the block...

I cheated a bit last time, when you jack it up to put the stands under the chassis, jack it up by the axle and compress the front spring a bit, then just put your spring compressor on and nip them...

Now you tell me... Haha

That's how I normally get through as well, but the thermo coupling is about 10mm in diameter. I might tape and then shrink wrap it onto my coat hanger wire to try and protect it a bit.
