it is now 4 sleeps till fraser and cant wait. things have been going along slowly . i had the crank and flex plate and balancer balanced. the crank was out 2 or 3 grams out at one end and 4 grams out at other end. flex plate needed a 6 mm hole in one spot and balancer needed one small drill in one spot. the new factory con rods were the worst about 15 to 20 grams out and that was after weighing 12 rods and picking the closest 6. but they all came up ok after some attention. the new pistons and pins all weighed the same and will be balanced to within .1 of a gram after heights have been checked in block and have been ceramic coated. the turbo is a garrett t03 and i was told these work really well on patrols if set up right, mine had an exhaust housing which was too big causing late boost so getting a smaller one this week i hope. i should get block and all the parts back this week or when i get back from fraser, and will just be waiting on the ceramic coatings to be done. the only other thing was my old head was cracked so needed a new td42t head which was purchased at same time as other parts. Oh and i still need a camshaft.I should have most of the auto parts already just need to get the convertor done when i take the box out. I added a thread under electrical about fixing gq clocks, i have 2 and both didn't work and both needed one resister being re-soldered and both work fine now. dont know if all gq clocks have the same problem but it is an easy fix if they do. So hope that helps somebody else. that is all i have time for now ,got to get my fishing gear ready .Originally Posted by carsurgeons
