^Where'd you get that catch can from, Ive been trying to look with one like that with a breather for ages

bumpd-EG · 29th May 2008, 08:32 AM

Trade me was about $85 i think

bumpd-EG · 30th May 2008, 05:25 PM

Came home from work today a bit early so ripped into it
Masked up the bay ready for the primer.

Got out the 2pak primer

And after 3 good coats of primer we have the priming done

Unmasked it, now I will give it probably about 4 days to really settle because I would prefer not to get much/any shrinkage, really wanting a nice smooth finish.

Went down to Enzed this afternoon and got a couple of Hose tails for the steering rack so I can loop the rack. I just have to get some pipe to suit now. Damn my subframe is so FILTHY!!! soon to be sorted

WTNESS · 30th May 2008, 06:04 PM

oh thats not entirely true bud,
there was many many things but I have been asked not to go on and on about it by the mods ok.
so enough about that. back to the build thread

sugarfree · 2nd June 2008, 07:03 AM

cant wait to see it finished.

what u gonna do with the motor?

bumpd-EG · 2nd June 2008, 07:10 AM

Just took the head off last night, I am thinking of putting a spoon head gasket in cause it increases the compression anyone got an opinion ?
as for the motor
just cleaning it up mint, replace cambelt headgasket and put a thermal intake gasket in it.

For the price you might as well just by a OEM intake gasket does the same job.

r3zin · 4th June 2008, 05:25 PM

I think Ricci needs a custom title of "The Bad Luck Kid" hahahaha.Seems like you have the worst of luck dude.

Anyways,good on ya for turning it around,this should look primo!Loving the wheel choice aswel.

bumpd-EG · 6th June 2008, 05:54 PM

I have been working hard on the loom today, not finished yet but nearly there

Took the head off the other night, its now down at GER having the valve stem seals replaced a general clean up, so here the block with no head

Also been doing a bit of polishing, damn my hands are sore from buffing for like 4 hours today on the machine LOL, but im pleased with the result

Chaos · 6th June 2008, 05:59 PM

that manifold looks like new, wanna come polish up my headers?

looking good though, you wont regret having shit like the stem seals done while its apart. are you going to change the gaskets while the heads off? saves it being a pain in the ass later on

bumpd-EG · 6th June 2008, 06:21 PM

yeah I have ordered a full engine gasket set
so gonna do them whilst its apart

bumpd-EG · 7th June 2008, 05:07 PM

does anyone know where I can get some bungs to put in the holes where the loom went through? and for the hole where the air con used to come through?

Pommy · 7th June 2008, 05:23 PM

repco have rubber ones, may work? nice build man, looking mint.

Hayce · 7th June 2008, 05:45 PM

Think I might have oem bungs for A/C hole and maybe the loom hole
