Just takes forever for the Oil to get up to operating temp, in this time you can't beat on the engine as it's not fully "expanded" and to spec.

Had a huge soft spot for the Z cars but they always looked out of proportion to me, too long/too skinny that's why I did the steel wide body, I cut the sides off added 3" on each side and welded them back on!

There are at least 16 different revisions of 7M head :)

Can't really go wrong with either package, from memory the Wiseco's give a little higher static comp ratio, in the past Eagle Rods were cheap Chinese junk but they've lifted their game and are usable and a cheap alternative to prepping stock Rods. LOL'd :D And one based on how many...

We don't have a problem with it other than beating on a car with known issues is just plain stupid.... :nono: But it's your car I'm sure there will be 20 or so "This is broken help me" threads in your not too distant future..

Very welcome! Good luck with it <fingers crossed>

Had an awesome run with my Yellow Top Optima in the Mk3, never failed to start and was discharged multiple times, it's been retired to the Tractor which can sit for months but starts first crank! WIll buy another for the current project car!

Did you retorque the head? Pull the Plugs, unplug the injector/efi fuse and crank the engine till it clears the fuel in that cylinder. Try a retorque on the head put it back together and run a comp test, that should tell you if it's a sealing issue, before starting the engine again I'd...

DON'T pull the head! Not everything in a 7M is an automatic BHG.... Sounds more like a stuck injector, as long as it didn't hydolock the engine should be fine.

I use 36 grit on a long board to scar up the top coat then a coat of stripper, non enviro follow up was take it to the local carwash and hit it with the pressure washer afterwards :evil2: (this was the bare shell for the 240z project) There was green paint and stripper ALL over the place when...

V8Supercars are wrapped... To do even a half assed job it's going to cost about the same as a cheap paint job...

Won't work on an ABS car..

I mucked around with runner length, plenum volumes in about 7 different FFIM's I built, never noticed any power gains it just moved the band around and changed how the Turbo "Hit" when it came on.. Never ran a stock Intake so can't comment on on the differences there.

Moved to the Bush a bit over a year ago now, haven't seen a single Snake, EVERY other type of creepy crawly but no Snakes ;) (I have a long handle shovel at the back door just in case though)

Don't drag shit from SF here...

Can't actually hear incipient but it's doing damage, by the time it rattles hard enough to hear it's doing big damage, this is why I sit here and chuckle at people "tuning" their engines by "ear/feel"... You might have just got a load of bad fuel it happens form time to time, rattled +...

"NSW" in this case is "New South Wales"..

My LS in the Supra even at only 3psi boost was a bundleOfun :D
