Justen, how far do the front galleries miss each other by? If there is plenty of meat in the area, you could mill half a gallery in the block and the other half in the head to link the two misaligned ports. Then cut the head gasket to suit and apply a neat little bead of high temp silicone on...

That is one hell of a beefy anti-roll bar setup! :eek5: Judging by the photo's of the rear end, this guy isn't too worried about cornering too much. Looks pretty "point it in the right direction & hit the loud pedal!" :burnout:

So you want a guy from Holland to paint his car Australian green and gold? Nice! :fing02: :joke: I think the colour scheme should fit with the theme and attitude of the car. ie. should it be subtle, sharp, aggressive, sleek, ...? Once you know what you want the car to 'say' when...

That would be the tool required to populate, ie reproduce, make babies, a penis! (I was sent to get a population tool when I was a work experience kid at a motorcycle service shop, the guys at the hardware store gave me a piece of clay shaped as a penis & told me to take it back & tell them to...

If your MIG does end up making the 1200 mile trip and you want to swap it over to weld Al, it's a good idea to change the liner inside the hose to one specifically for Al. Makes the wire feed a lot smoother & hence a better weld.

... then send them down the street to pick up a tin of striped paint, a left handed screwdriver, a new sky hook & a population tool. :tongue:

If I'm seeing this right, it looks like No.1 rod had been 'disconnected' for some time! See the discolouration on the crank journal? You can see that where No.2 should be is fairly clean, while the part of the journal where No.1 rod used to be is all dirty & oil stained... Was running on 7 for...

XR6 Turbo Reminded me of this pic: Youtube link to the same engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUWCo3lDjH8 Some like it hot!!!

I'm thinking he needs both, but only has the $$$ for one... at the moment. I vote for show, it will make the go that little bit more satisfying when it comes along.

Great job, very meticulous! That is the sort of diff that I wish manufacturers would supply standard on any sports model of car. Oh, I noticed you boiled the ring gear to expand it to locate it on the shoulder. You could also put the carrier in the freezer for a couple of hours as well as...

I have a bit of a system that I use for modding the center. I spend a bit of time planning out what to do & remove the pin that the spider gears run on (after a bit of tacking). I can then rotate the spline assembly so that I can weld in plates on both sides to get good welds on the full...

My brother broke his multiple times, was in a HQ 1 tonner with a 308 pushing around 300rwhp. I've read that a bearing upgrade will help them stand up to a few more horses, how much this helps, I don't know.

Hi everyone! Sorry to be gravedigging for my first post on these forums, but this thread is along the lines of what I'm researching. (just a pipe dream at the moment) So here we go! I've been interested in Tractor Pullers for a little while now & some family friends are involved with the...

oops, double post
