Sounds like they were just too lazy to have a look the first time.

Not today but last week I got my new rims from Rupe on the car.
They're Mooneyes Lucky Star 15x7 +22 195/50 Car feels much more retro. |

Ute's back from having the heater fixed.
New core so I have heat, new vent cable so I can direct the heat and a new piece of hose so the heated water no longer runs down the side of the block. That, the 929 radiator and elec fan has the beast running as smooth as a nut. Lucky I took it where I did in Dandenong. I was going to take it to Seaford.

Oil and filter change. Only 900ml of oil came out of the engine. Not good.

So couple of days ago changed the coil packs, leads, plugs and did an oil change while I was at it (coils were starting to act up). Today went a grabbed a new fuel filter and some exhaust mounts to (hopefully) finally install the autoexe exhaust in the next few days. Only had it sitting around for about two years!

Checked up on head progress.
0.030" preliminary shave (need to find factory thickness specs to allow accurate 0.060" shave) Three angle seat cut. 45' 60' and radius cut, need to get sub shims machined to set valve clearances and then port match, assemble blah blah blah. |

The interceptor box came for the diesel today. I'll fit it tonight and see how it goes tomorrow. I'll set it for mild power increase so it runs the engine rich to avoid lean out kaboom.
