So now is time to rebuild my EA81 as the head gasket has a hole the size of a five cent piece. But after getting the head etc machined id like to upgrade a few items while its ...

But in the end I worked out the fuel pump was far too quiet so pulled it off to replace it when I found both the wires for it just dangling in the fuel. I hooked them back up and...

A 100mm may be true but when using lift blocks by themselves you are allowed no more than 50mm lift blocks (according to national standards).
