    Oil pressure paranoia...

    Well, i've pushed myself to the absolute limit physically, trying to get this damn thing sorted out. So far, i've done nothing of consequence, barring an oil change. Could i get the filter off? NO. I needed to drive 73 miles (round trip), to pick up a tool that would fit on the Toyota...

    Oil pressure paranoia...

    There's no milkshake so if the HG has indeed gone, its between the water jacket and the bore.

    kPa = Kilopsacals - metric unit of pressure. 100kPa = 14.5PSI or 1 Bar

    Oil pressure paranoia...

    If it is...i'm not too worried, as long as the HG hasn't gone between the water and oil jackets. I have a whole engine gasket set here, and a set of ARP's that i was going to use for my monster build.

    Recipe Thread.

    Bit of an update. Thought i'd introduce you guys to a colonial favourite; Kedgerie. Normally, the recipe calls for smoked haddock, but i use slightly cheaper fish (without bones!). You'll want: Two bags of boil in the bag basmati rice (enough for 4 people) Three eggs Pollock or Cod...

    Oil pressure paranoia...

    Unfortunately, the weather is holding me back from doing anything - although i have a covered, concrete work area, the insane wind, and freezing rain is making working on it a distinct impossibility - doubly so seeing as i'm supposed to be taking it easy after surgery. Drove it again this...

    Oil pressure paranoia...

    It's sold....but at a price conforming to 'how much can i get for my soul?' - all oil/fuel/petroleum is massively taxed here. In the name of being 'green' of course. Shitty 20w50 isnt a problem (cause most of it stays on the shelf), but even 5 litres will set you back $20. The more specialised...

    Oil pressure paranoia...

    Well the 5w30 i have is 'Unipart' - and cost me about $40 for 5 litres. Can't get a wix filter here, i have again, a 'Unipart' one, but the Toyota one does say 'Denso' on it and doesn't look like a thailand made one. It's cold here - like, cold enough that in the mornings, theres frost on the...
