Hell yeah Bennie, same goes if your this side of the rock. Pretty sure Ruby's new GB will negate any loss from gearing so It may actually be a close one.

dont trust the volt gauges in the clusters too much. Certainly mine has a mind of its own. Took me 3 or 4 times stopping and checking the voltage at the battery before I was convinced though. Often a poor alternator will need a short rev after starting before it kicks in, though if your alternator l...

Best not spilling the beans on a public forum or Il get someone hurt. If said 3rd party reader cant figure it out themselves then probably best they dont try.

Crikey SB, those things are monsters! Much better then my spring compressers, though to their credit they will fit most cars!

Getting them back off the springs is the scary bit ;).

No special tools, just a keen eye. Used a set of verniers around the outside of the pulley, teeth to pulley distance. Tacked it on in two spots, put it on a spare engine I had sitting around an spun it to check the runout. Deeming it good enough I then proceeded to weld it on in about 6 or 7 spots w...

I keep an eye out but dont bother boring everyone with my dribble. Yeah Mine is 89 or 88 point something. I had to set it in the software but it was ages ago. Vast amounts of room with the distributor gone, can have a party under the airbox now...well maybe a small party. I went the coil pack to get...

No problems with belt clearances. You may need to sand down the engine casing so it doesnt rub. Also may have to be careful with position with the edis module, I dont know how sensitive they are to the missing tooth position. Mine could go pretty much anywhere so long as a TDC didnt correspond to th...

L temp gauge definitely reads lower with the ej sender, was only just getting up over the cold line when the thermo fans kicked in. It was cycling just fine at idle the other day when Paul and I were looking at it. He mentioned that there was a fair bit of crap in the radiator pre flush but I didn't...

We use them at work. M6 stainless.....yeah its pneumatic!

Good quality sealed bearings should never need repacking. Either you were unlucky and got a factory dud bearing or as Toonga said, the 200lb gorilla who installed them did a number on them.

I doubt sealed bearings would fail like that. More likely the bearings are fine, or they are stuffed because the driveshaft nut was not tightened up properly. You must at minimum give the cone washers a quick once over on a belt sander or similar so there are no burrs. I prefer to over tighten the n...

Pretty sure hydro lifters have a sticker on the rocker cover telling you not to adjust the tappets. If it doesnt have the sticker I would just assemble it with the standard tolerances.

Up to you really. I think the "proper" way is to run individual power feeds to each light but in the case of our subarus the voltage drop from jumping from one lamp to the next will be unnoticeable. I did some measurements today with the clamp meter at work. My car draws about 10amps at idle with th...
