Sounds like valve train IMO, but hopefully your right about belt tensioner or similar. If its original donk, 211000 kms odd dont seem like much unless its been abused or neglected by previous owners.

Was 1997 the year they went from hydraulic to solid lifters in the EJ series...

My brumby is up for grabs with 180,000km's on the clock and a reco'd top end, clutch, cv's and carby.

$7250 buys a lot of crystal meth so I read in the paper haha.

Whats that quote from The Castle...

G'day Disco I have been trying to get hold of you through coxy for the best part of two years now regarding some of these parts... Wondering wtf. So now that you have cleared up your AWOL status lol, perhaps you could flick me a pm :) Im located in the central coast, so easy enough for me to get to ...

I have a VF48 which I believe is what was fitted to RX leone (L series) I assume you mean just the turbo not a complete engine.

J.

I have one.

Fuji fan have a look at this website http://www.1010tires.com and under tyre size calculator. Majordad

175 * 0.65 / 25.4 * 2 + 14 = OD in inches, * 25.4 = OD in mm

did you use the 'cartridge type' or the '2 halves' type?

are you going to use the super pro Castor Rod bushes as well?

Honestly cant recall it was months ago I put together the whole crossmember ASSY together. Would have to look up invoices.

Yes the s/p radius rod bushes are in.

What kind of bushes did you use in the control arms and what is your opinion of them?

SuperPro - I had them in the original control arms as well for five yrs (Approx 60000kms) and have had no issues. I'm happy with them, they work well.

Yep a very nice anchor ... pity to do so much work to it just to throw it in the ocean but hey I suppose it will last longer I guess this has been asked before but do you do this for a living or a hobby? I ask as I have seen "mechanic reconditioned engines" on the shelf with way less effort put int...

amazing attention to detail. shame its an ea82!

Thanks. Though the title is self explanatory I thought

And in the engine bay looks something like this: http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150712_192331_zpsypv3wtvs.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150712_192438_zpstpdzpdo9.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4...

Too this.... http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150706_145349_zpsogdkwhtj.jpg Lots of hand pain going on to mill the thermostat housing faces to a perfect finish. They were pitted and what not. Previously a cause of minor leaks even with a genuine gasket. Might I ...

So since my EA82 turbo build languishes, and I had to remove the carby engine to allow for front end upgrades anyway. Also needed to address a leaking HG. I decided to sort out the worn rings and glazed bores issue. I went from this: http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/2015-03-28%201...

Since I have a backlog of pics and info :rolleyes: http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/20150513_155103_zpszszj5izp.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/2015-03-07%2010.39.31-1_zpsbfwgvx7m.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/20150513_154906_zpsls...

When I had the front calipers coated, I took the opportunity to get a few other things done in blaze blue. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150705_130937_zpsqfhvljus.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150705_141527_zps0dwk...

Bugger me mate!

Looks awesome! New hub and knuckle or powder coated?

Thanks Bennie, its taken me months to bring all this together.

If its not brand new, its been powder coated or zincplated. So no not new hubs or backing plates just spruced up.

Im chasing nico-leone from a long distance
