Did a LOT of testing when I had the Fans hooked up to the MoTeC and found you needed a 5>8c run up if you were to have any hope of catching it before the temp ran away, also found in a Mk3 it's better to have them slowly moving at cruise so the car can run on the T Stat. Another point was the...

:: IJ. :: don't make me get off my rocker...

Post #4..... (good call Mike) NO WHERE did you mention it's a Jz.... sort of helps if you're asking for help to provide some more detail.

One of the guys had one with a 327 in it back in the day :D Back then it was awesomly fast!

You end up with a bit of a funky shape tunnel doing it this way but all the load is on the caps so it doesn't actually effect anything as the cap profile ends up perfect.

If you're talking about this Orange thing I believe it's a Mazda 929/RX4/Savannah.

Cos I don't own a 7M and I do own 2x LS's :p Not sure if there's a big enough gap to get a blade in there as the stamped pan has a raised centre ridge.

What do you do for a living?

I used a Land Cruiser Pan and Filter on mine, Temp sender went in the remote filter head.

LOL'd @ the Hello Kitty :D

Q: What's the difference between a Andy and a computer? A: You only have to punch information into a computer once. :p

What I did was polish the Cam journals, Surfaced the Cam Caps then line bored/honed the tunnels back to stock clearences.

The 3Bond 1207b I use could be run without bolts after it's cured... Total PITA to get a steel pan off, Bio's method will work if you have a helper to hold the wood while you smack it with a "FBH" and there's less chance of destroying the Pan rails. Be nice if someone made an LS style pan...

I'm semi retired so I was the Ho's ... Never added up how much I spent but it was a LOT as I didn't cut a single corner. Even spread out of the 13 years I owned the Fat Car it was still a bunchOcash.

The scored tunnels are usually from either a dirty build or an oil filter in bypass, the crap gets caught by the babbit material and just gouges away at the soft tunnel :(

The Needle roller inside the Input shaft. These gearboxes with age wear through the Case Hardening on the snout of the Mainshaft (Yes the BIG one that goes from the tailshaft up to the Input shaft) The symptoms you descibe are exactly what happens as this bearing fails and why I asked the...

You say that like it's a Bad thing :p

I ASKED you that in PM's and you said no it made no difference clutch in or out..... ARGHHHHHHHH :runaway: Symptoms of a failing bearing/snout between the Input Shaft and the Main shaft

If he's interested and has his heart set of a Mk4 why would he look at a Mk3 no matter how good or what the deal is.... If it's going to be a Track Car only general and mechanical condition mean little as it's going to get knocked around and enigines don't last forever so chance are he'll be...

If there's no oil in it there's a chance when it's hot it's grinding itself into paste... Seriously Andy you have access to a lift WTF didn't you check that first... :nono: (my fault for assuming you had I guess...)
