Let is know how it goes.

Still working on this thing! I thought it had been lost under piles of junk in your shed.

Well it made 255rwhp on 14psi but has a blown headgasket as I found out loading it to take it to the dyno day.
So last time I had it at heathcote I blew clutch, diff and headgasket woo hoo
Off to fix it up now.
Don it's not under junk anymore most of it went into the car

Pretty good power considering. Seems like you can't catch a break!

Here's hoping this is the last of your bad luck.

hey mate,
have u considered getting a worked ca motor from japan?
ends up being cheaper in the long run..

Haven't even look at something like that a12grunt any ideas where to look?
Will be fitting a cometic gasket and arp studs and going again

hey mate,
il send you a pm next time i come across a built ca18det sale from japan or a car to be stripped.
landed in oz for under 4k,could source you a pretty worked 2 liter ca18det.

Thanks a12grunt that sounds interesting :)

head studs are a pain without the right socket. You need a very thin walled socket to fit down into the head.
I had to buy a thin, long socket and grind it down further to get it to fit.
Can't go wrong with Cometic in my view, but like anything surface prep head and block first to ensure you get the best fit possible.

Still got 255hp with blown headgasket :)
