steve just change the head gasket at least and bring it along? It's not a big job at all mate cmon.. i'm hanging out to see your car with all that power now!

at this stage im cruising with Bob in the 5L. yeah Steve you better be there

ill b there too

I wont be there, I cant get the weekend off.

will try my best dropped head off today to get pressure tested as gasket looks fine,apparertly cracks under cam is quite common with a bit of psi

done the head gasket on mine last week. been blown for 2 years now, decided to actually fix it, lol. suprise suprise to find a blown monocrap gasket, between fire ring and cooling system. (a leak down test i done, confirmed it before dissasembly anyway) shame they used a crap gasket as its been welded in the past. they usually crack down the cam valley, through 4 cylinders or more and through the cam journals as well typically. thats how much is welded on mine and i have a spare head here as well cracked through 4 cylinders in length as well. good thing is once they are welded, they rarely crack again.

i crashed my car today as most of you know and need a new front bumper, i have to pay for the girl's car i hit first so i might not be able to make it in my car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Jenna is that oldschool or did you just do that? Pope and i like to be close Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

no lol i saved it ages ago coz i thought it was funny, sumone else did it

Not sure if im still comming out... Dont know if i'll get my drift damage fixed and overheating issues sorted.

perhaps you should address your lack of series one red interiors as well?

haha yeah and that too... no more money is getting spent on that car man, prob just put the microtech and injectors in and then all money goes towards a new calais...

Wish I could make it, haven't been cruising for a while - But the VL isn't quite finished yet, not for another month. I'll meet all you blokes another time... sounds like it'll be a great day out. Sometime with the smaller, its more enjoyable. -Todd
