Really? A 1" suspension lift will do that? I thought you could get away with 2" before this starts to become a problem.

The easy way to make a 6wd would be to go gearbox, gearbox, diff. Just need to modify the input shaft of the gearbox/ front/ center diff of a subie to take a prop shaft. If you think how a Subie gearbox works it is like that 1st diff with PTO... Input at front, 2 driveshafts, then an output at the b...

Ahh too easy, so no damage if too tight. Just going to have to work out what an appropriate size is now.

My pushrods have end caps that fall off and I can adjust the rockers

Steptoe what do you think about my valve clearance? What do you reccomend?

The engine builder got new lifters from memory they might be solid, but dunno then sent the cam off to his favorite grinder, CamTech Cams.

Hmm well I can't hear much over that deep rumble so I guess that's a good sign :) If you set them to .015" hot I would have thought you wouldn't be able to hear yourself think...maybe your custom engine is bending the rules ;) Hahaha yeah it has a nice intake roar, exhaust rumble and then just gene...

Alright so here is my dodgy video haha It sounds a lot worse in the video than it actually is... If you guys think 15 thou is too big, then what would you recommend? I don't want to wreck them. Yes I know my oil can and breathers are dodgy but I don't know what else to do to avoid blow back/by (the ...

Hmm wonder what would be better, standard Y pipe or crossover

Hahaha I managed to escape calculus, no idea what it even is
Probably not, though it will calculate everything to do with your homeloan, stats, and draw graphs... if you know how lol

Whoops I meant after 200kms, then after ANOTHER 500, not at 500. Sorry Wish I was a millionaire! I have no doubt you can leave the oil in for longer without damage, however I see MASSIVE improvements with every oil change. Probably doesn't cause damage leaving it in, though I do believe it helps fro...

so yeah kid in school that should be still fresh on fractions I reckon 15/1000 is a bit on the big gap side. Oh shush you! I have a fancy calculator and deal with shares, investments, homeloans, and stats hahaha What would your advice be? I don't want to burn out my valves. Would I be losing power ...

Found a link in your engine build thread Tweety. Originally posted by Venom for the exhaust info.

Then use A...

On valve settings - that 15 thou hurts my ears ! 15 thou hot !! man, 12 thou cold was bad enough !! In the end I did them my way ...4 thou hot both and that was a start up warm up again between either each cylinder or each bank, though run the risk of things getting tight and maybe a miss if let it...

A crossover pipe like the old V8 boys run. Wonder how this goes for performance and noise. Got a video Tweety?

I'm a reasonably new member but a girl nonetheless! :) ... Have owned two '89 Brumbies in my time and about to be the proud new owner of a 2005 Forester. I'm just starting out in terms of learning the mechanics and workings of cars. At this stage it is just a hobby, but loving every minute of it. W...

Now that i'm back as an active member I thought I would give this thread a rehash, was created around the time I joined. I have seen that Tigger is back, any other girls around? Or is Steptoe still too scary? lol Seems a little quieter since I was last active, though still many guests appearing to b...

Running in oil is designed for the dyno, costs about $30 a liter. The idea is that you do 3 FULL runs on the dyno and then the engine is run in and you can do whatever. My source? RC Performance engines, mate used to work there and thats what they do. http://www.rcperformanceengines.com.au/ The owne...

errr....darling wife, have to run in Tweety and do it properly....need to head for the hills....need a man with knowledge to join me like Scott....see you in two weeks.... hooks up camper...... The better you do your run in the better engine you will be! This is perfect, however I also advise a tri...

So long story short...
It fires 2 at once? The cylinder on ignition and the cylinder on exhaust? Helps to burn off anything that hasn't already?

OMG I never knew it did that! Tried it and it works beautifully! Love it!
Not that you need it in a Brumby... I warm my feet up then keep it on the demister and it keeps the car very warm.

Cheers Cam
