Was fairly suprised how well mines handled it so far, even this cracked head wasn't caused by boost and I was running 10psi on a Non-intercooled N/A for 3 months...
Found them...!

Hopefully wont be long now. Problem is I can only work on it for a couple hours each day after work..

28-01-09, 21:20 GMT+10#35 I understand the reason to move them
But its a factory position, him and a few thousand other people have been fine with it like that so far
Plus the effort factor lol

28-01-09, 21:25 GMT+10#36 Ehhh, the slight effort it takes to allen key in the manifold plug, to save a hicomp motor that probably has a fair bit of blow by, i'd do it .
Could be the difference between changing bottom ends lol.

28-01-09, 22:36 GMT+10#39 Plan on having it going either tomorrow or friday night Daniel, we'll have to do the rocker cover some other time.
I plan on getting a catch can soon, the car gets parked on grass, and gets driven in fairly dusty areas so would prefer to have everything sealed, or atleast have a filter. In winter I get a lot of condensation buildup where I park it.
