Yeah mate I was just having a dig! I'm scheming a set of sunnies for Dirka at the next tyre change... maybe, dunno yet.steptoe wrote:I was wondering if you wanted the loner for the spare
This engine bay is already pretty tidy - no AC!! You'd be surprised how much room that gear takes up and how untidy that wiring makes the engine bay look in general!steptoe wrote:Actually, got me stuffed why none of us have started a cut down of the hold down screw so to turn the buggers upside down and store all our breakdown tools and bits in the bigger bowl !
Ok, so after the rest of the family bagged out Dirka it's now SHELDON - similar to Sheldon from B1g B4ng The0ry - he's neat and smart but not all there socially. There's no AC on this touring wagon which is very different to how I've known touring wagons previously - I thought it was a factory option!El_Freddo wrote:It's Dirka...

Can you get a forester for $99?? Or the likes of Ruby Scoo 7 years ago at $500?? I think not.

Yeah I know!!steptoe wrote:And you thought you had done your last EA82 cam box seal groove clean when you went EJ
Or if the Mrs isn't home, throw them in the dishwasher. Dishwashing powder is actually really good for cleaning engine grease off parts, and hands.steptoe wrote:Rmember I found best way to clean up the cam box seals was to leave flat face down in a .....anyone looking ...???? a flat baking tray with a bath of degreaser SCA $2.19 spray can stuff and just let it do its stuff over night.
I've tried to convince dad that this is a good way to go... but for some reason he didn't buy itGannon wrote:Or if the Mrs isn't home, throw them in the dishwasher. Dishwashing powder is actually really good for cleaning engine grease off parts, and hands.
Well, replaced two threads and a third one has pulled out. So this is a no go...El_Freddo wrote:Now we're looking into using my old MPFI, replace a couple of threads and hopefully it'll all be good. We'll see.
We went with the carbie block with the MPFI heads on it. Going very well.Bantum wrote:Bit of a thread dig, but I wonder what happened to this ?
