Think Si was getting some O rings for the valves today :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madrolla68 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Looks good and good to see people using the trusty K-Series motors :y: Did you get it running? Â He messaged me at like 11.00pm so he better have it going. :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falken_KE30 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Nope i was there till near 12 i think, he said it should be running tonite. Yeah he MSG you for the torque settings for the head bolts (ARP head bolts are cool lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 haha yeah Dan and I spent a few hours on it last night, head was finally bolted on about 1130 or so. There was no torque settings on the genuine head gasket packet and I had a mental blank on what its supposed to be! :lol: Checked the FAQ and all it said was "per gasket recommendations". :hmm: thanks Matt, thought the msg would be ok as it way only 9:00pm there yeah? Â Forgot to get some valve stem seals yesterday (o-rings), did the late night trip to Jim's (servo with car parts in store) and they didn't have any that were the right thickness. Will get some this arvo though. Â Manifolds, turbo, dump pipe, and head are all bolted back on. So all that is left to do tonight to get here running again is: Â Fit valve stem seals. Fit rocker gear Tappet clearances Re-fit tappet cover Fit oil filter Put speedflow lines back on and wiring loom Bolt exhaust back on to dump pipe Gap and fit new plugs Re-fit cooler piping Fill with fluids Turn key! :D Â So expect a vid of the Gilmer tomoz, maybe tonight. :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz_Rx Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yeah didnt bother me,but thought it was a bit late over there :y: Â Â Yeah shit wasn't co-operating for me, so it was a bit of a late one. About to have an early arvo off work, so then I can get her running and still watch law and order!! :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Another late night!! :hmm: didn't finish (well I didn't finish) until 1130pm last night, wouldn't start as the battery was half flat. Left it on the charger all night. Wouldn't start again this morning....until I noticed that the dizzy had unlocked itself (think I'd better do a better job than cable ties! :D Fixed that, still wouldn't start, pulled 25% of the fuel out and away she went, then would run very weel until you knocked the fuel back in, so the start enrichment needs to be knocked back a bit! :D Also had a leaking injector o-ring last night, so that wasted another 30-45 minutes on that. Its also leaking a bit of oil from the sump seal! :y: but still is most likely because I did up all the bolts with a speed brace and they're not tight enough (re-did a couple). will get under it again tonight and nip them all up and hopefully I should be all good. Â Took a few pics and a vid of the Gilmer drive this morning. Brought the camera to work and forgot the bloody cable so I'll upload them after lunch some time. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
