    Overheating Problems Continue - I'm out of ideas.

    You'd be down to the pan rails in 8 hours.... Mine never took longer than 15 mins using Diamond paste, after 8 hours there's no way possible it would still be flat, it might be smooth but not flat. Lapping is a finishing process only, you need a flat accurate smooth surface to start with...

    Dellow and CRS here in Australia do kits to run the 154 behind both engines mentioned. I built a kit to use the Toyota Auto behind the LS.

    What is your reference location when discussing left and right side?

    Non Crossflows are getting rare these days, for local stuff I use driver/passenger but here IN/EX works ok as most are using a Toyota I-6 ;) (RHD here) I remember the horror that was building a twin turbo kit for an L24 back in the later 70's early 80's..

    God I hate People

    Might just be that I'm cold but I don't form emotional attachments to "things".. I probably have more blood sweat and tears not to mention $ invested into my cars than most but still don't bond on an emotional level, when it's done it's done I bin it and move on.

    Rear Suspension

    If you can find a non cracked early frame the late braces are a bolt in, I'd go for something out of an auto NA if I had a choice as it's never been stressed as long as the Diff was bolted in correctly.

    God I hate People

    Can't understand why everyone is getting a sandy Vag over this... Over the years as a Mod here I've seen probably 40>50 cars destroyed by members when they fail in a build and end up parting the car, one in particular demolished more Supra's than the "Cars" program a few years back and never...

    Crank Pulley Bolt flew off !

    100% wrong.... :nono: 1st gear and >195 ft/lbs on the bolt and the car will drive forward due to the mechanical advantage from the gearbox reduction, 5th gear is an overdrive therefore no mechanical advantage and you can get the bolt to 195, job done.
