November 17, 201312 yr Author comment_671961 Yeah thats what I am leaning towards. Will have to wait a few weeks. Hopefully the head is ok, I only drove it around the block. What a waste of $55 of oil. Report
November 17, 201312 yr comment_671974 +1 for the cometic, I use to run them in my SR builds. I used many Jap branded ones and the cometic MLS are as good IMO. Sorry to hear about the Head Gasket. Report
November 18, 201312 yr comment_672008 that sucks, as long as it was fun for the minute it lasted haha :y: Report
November 18, 201312 yr Author comment_672013 It was definitely exciting. Hopefully its as simple as a new gasket and oil. Wont happen till I'm back for my xmas break anyway. Report
November 18, 201312 yr comment_672063 haha first time i drove mine, second lap the idler pulley fell off so the belt came off, blew the head gasket, temp gauge only went to half.... and i just thought the lack of power would have been the pvc intercooler piping melted, but no... :no2: was as good as new with another gasket, hopefully yours will be as easy :y: Report
November 19, 201312 yr Author comment_672118 Need a scrub and a paint. Looks like the pinion seal might be leaking. Report
November 19, 201312 yr comment_672121 Looks like something you would retrieve from a sunken shipwreck. Edited November 19, 201312 yr by rian Report
November 19, 201312 yr comment_672125 Is it going to become an LSD? By the way, you can buy bolt-on swaybar mounts from Whiteline. Report
November 19, 201312 yr Author comment_672126 Is it going to become an LSD? By the way, you can buy bolt-on swaybar mounts from Whiteline. Yeah will probably buy a whole center if I can, its only zenki so hopefully wont cost a bazillion dollars. Bolt on sway bar mounts you say.... Report

November 19, 201312 yr Author comment_672130 Pretty much what I expected. Pricey for what they are. I may as well just u bolt over the standard mounts. Report
November 19, 201312 yr comment_672150 cool mate, haha thats stupid could make them easily for like $10 haha Report
November 21, 201312 yr Author comment_672279 Can anyone give me advice on what thickness head gasket I should get? Should I stick with a standard thickness or go slightly thicker with the increased boost? Report
November 21, 201312 yr comment_672281 It depends on how high your increase of boost is. If its only a couple of PSI I would stay with standard thickness. Plus a thicker Head gasket does not change your static compression a great deal anyways. Report
