Coming along nicely, once you cut the clearance hole in the bonnet you'd be hard pressed to know it wasn't factory.

can anyone tell me if the piston pins are same on the HO engine as the standard one ? or could I drill a oil hole for the rod on a standard and bronze the end ?
I don't have the specs on size here or do I have to wait to measure them to find out ?

Thumbs down

Noticed a new vibration the other day

I bunged the Grand Chero on the hoist...Took a while to find it.

I noticed the front DS would wobble at the double cardin end near the TC when I span it

Pulled the double cardin apart.

Bent spiggot thingy section. It's ********ed. Damn IRO It's not a quick easy $20 part fix. It's the welded end yoke ******** it.

Probably would have bent any brand that day Dunno.










Ahh well. I've wanted to lengthen it by 45mm since the long arm kit install anywho.


Plus, thanks Aussie Post for losing my axle bearing and seal kit. Lucky we both have a tracking number. I think they might be buying me another set
