So... This is the end of the rebuild section of this build thread!! Today the car saw its first 40km's on the road, with the only hiccup being that the water temp and fuel gauge stopped working half way though the drive. Just to recap, this was what was done to the car while it was off the...

Quick update, Started the car tonight for the first time!! Ran quite rough, but after a little while it started to run really well, so quite happy on that front. Small issues, my FPR is leaking between the rail and the the body of the FPR a slight amount, got a small coolant leak from the...

Motor is in the car... lol Waiting for the seal and o ring for the speedo gear so I can bolt up the exhaust and then its just a matter off putting the last of the engine bay togethere and fitting all the oil lines. Was hoping to start the car tomorrow, but been flat out with landscaping the...

Cheers for that Ian. I'll probably end up doing a last one when i switch to full synthetic, I'm paranoid that it's going to blow! (arn't we all?)

Sorry, I know it might have been a thread hijack, but thought it would be useful in this thread for future searchs. Can anybody clear this up for me?

After the first retorque after the first 5 heat cycles, do you do anymore? How many times should I retorque the head after a full rebuild (with new studs and MHG) and at what intervals?

Yeah, I made sure of that when I got the block back, just never occured to me to slide the driveshaft in for a test fit. For some reason I thought the timing cover had to be on.. =S

Ian, unfortunately I didn't bother checking them when i was putting the rotating assembly together... Lesson learnt! Dan, as far as I know, they are the ones that belong there. We just put all the bolts in and did them up to make sure the gaskets and FIPG seal up nicely with the contacting...

Big update... Finally got the last of the parts 2 weeks ago, and after a hecktic 4 days of having to disassemble the motor again and reassmble it, Dad and I left the garage tonight with the motor looking like this... The reason for the disassemble was due to the fact that on monday we...

Don't quite understand your theory. But if the thermostat doesn't open with the temp senser after the thermostate, it isnt going to get any where near the real temperature of water in the block. At least putting it in the cold inector port your gonna know the rough water temp before it opens...

Put it this way. I ordered this part In 16mm x 1.5 and it went straight into the cold start injector time switch. Don't know wh it won't work for you, but its working perfectly for me. As for an accurate reading. The Thermostat will be open before you need to know exactly and accurately what...

Haha! You have an AWESOME grandma! Its a female version of Ian... 'Get the fuck off my lawn!' :D

I've got a temp sender in the Cold Start Injector Switch. It's a 16mm by 1.5 pitch.

So, It's a matter of getting it in with minimal fuss, then hitting it in the center to force push outwards into the block? What could I use to hit the center? Yeah, I didnt really have a choice unfortunately. The shop I took it to took all the plugs out automatically before hot tanking it.
