there is a little tip i was told to do when fitting a new gasket. Once its all back together and ready to start up again, turn the engine on before adding any coolant and let it run for about 2-3 minutes (no longer!) - this apparently helps the new gasket 'seal' around the edges. Anyone else heard o...

Lucky you - getting it tuned by E..

I've noticed some oil on the outside, around where the switch is - does this ring any alarm bells to anyone? I wont get a chance to work on it until the weekend... cheers.

From oil pressure switches to pussys and multiple orgasms.....amazing! never a dull moment in this forum lol. Maybe we ought to start a new thread "How do you like to fuck your pussy?" Im sure the responses will be errrr......enthusiastic? Ill give it another go with a spanner, but if i ha...

I went to install the gauge i bought today and that existing switch wont come off! anyone have any ideas of how they did it when installing theirs? what a prik of a thing...

I bought my suspension off this guy - everything showed up on time and in working order, very honest and trustworthy guy.... appreciate it.

and the existing switch just screws out? i couldnt really see a hex-shape anywhere to use a spanner, ill have another look in a minute.. thanks for the help

Does anyone know a good place to connect a mechanical oil pressure gauge? or you guys running an electrical one..?

na brake booster should'nt make a difference - with the g'box and mounts off, preferrably take out the radiator to avoid damaging, and disconnect everything else around it so that the engine kinda 'swings' while hooked onto the chain (you'll need a crane/pully of some kind) hope that helps..

I was just using some 20w/50, but now i ive changed it to 15w/50 after flushing it with the treatment (Nulon engine flush). I then started it from cold this morning and it still has the same problem.. this shit doesnt make any sense - how could it just start flowing once its warm?

lol sounds like they flogged the shit thru it. let us know how u go.. might be an idea to a compression test at some stage

What work were they (mechanics) doing to it? possibly due to lean/incorrect mixtures, too much boost, old age (how long since u changed them?). Just some ideas.

jack the car up pretty high and take the box out from underneath - make sure you support it with a jack though to prevent it hanging on the shaft..

oil level is fine - you guys sure about this turps idea? anyone ever tried this? i mean that oil is going to thin to pretty much nothing, and besides, solvents always leave a slight residue afterwards which will mix with the next lot of oil. What about the engine flush products you can just buy..? t...
