No. The site isn't allowing attachments, and searching is shite! It's the same pic I re-did on FB.
Valve stem sealsmight be worth asking what exactly they did in the overhaul
Yeah I know.... Soon fingers crossed.Log back on here after going AWOL for 6 years to find your car is still not running! hurry up Scotty geez
Best of luck for the weekend Scotty.Yet another lame ass update - went and saw the shop the other day. The radiator I bought didn't bolt straight in but that's been sorted. Had to buy a slimline fan as one of the fans was too close to the turbo. Fingers crossed that comes in tomorrow and maybe she gets turned over this weekend.
You may need to wrap the manifold and use a Turbo Turbine Housing blanket. It would be a shame to melt the slimline fan unit.Yet another lame ass update - went and saw the shop the other day.

Ebay radiator. No they didn't. I really have no idea how or why the heads were warped. I mean I couldn't really push it. And there were no symptoms while it was actually driving that there were any problems.hmmm the heads were warped... damn
what radiator was it?
did they do the head lift fix?

Hang in there John. 2019 is my year.Best of luck for the weekend Scotty.
If I got to wait another ten years to see you driving it I'll be seventy.
Damn, I hope I make it !!
Cheers Marshall... Hoping to get away with no wrapping. Will see how it goes.You may need to wrap the manifold and use a Turbo Turbine Housing blanket. It would be a shame to melt the slimline fan unit.
Good luck,
Marshall
Hahaha - I bet you do!Happy to provide some TD04 bolt on's for a swap if you get problems![]()
Congratulations Scotty!Got an email late last night - the girls up and running. They washed and cleaned her as well as drove her to the petrol station for guzoline. Apparently the Precision 880cc injectors (low impedance) I was running were no good for my new ecu so he threw in some spare GTR injectors (high impedance) and she runs so much better now. I feel like my girl is very close to being back in my arms..... I mean in the driveway. I said driveway.

Cheers Marshall.... I'll be thrilled once I have the car. It's been so close for a while now.....Congratulations Scotty!

Bg probably won't be too blurry as I'll need to just take things easy to start with..... I'll just use photoshop.Good news !!
Picture required,- You, driving, background needs to be blurred.
I come back after all this time and I read "Scotty's car is running AND driving" Am I on the right forum? LOLGot an email late last night - the girls up and running.
