it'll be from the metal spacer thing they have between the water pump and block.
seen them break away before when i worked for RACV. but this car because that broke away seized the water pump, cooked, and did a head gasket.

Good to see the heart transplant has begun!!
 Did you have any port work done on the head? Or has it just been skimmed with a good clean up? Looks like brand new  Still got that Camtech cam lined up for this engine? |

I didnt do a lot of porting, just smoothed out the ports and cleaned up the combustion chamber.
I'll get a cam whenever billets become available, and yeh still more than likely a Camtech. WILDEB - The spacer/metal gasket is still in place. There was another small piece below the thermostat. Thanks delahayes, I have a pretty limited budget with this thing so I'm happy with how it is. One thing I'm stuck on but I'm sure I've seen pics of is the crank/cam angle sensor (where the dizzy would go otherwise, side of the block). The AU block doesnt have the bolt hole that the EF uses to align the sensor... |

Engine bay is sprayed, rocker cover sprayed green with fins n writing sanded back (looks mint
 ), everything bar the tensioner (waiting for a new one) & bellhousing bolted on.Pretty sure I didnt put the crank angle sensor in right so I'll fix that up today. Was going to polish the BBM but holy jesus will that take forever, I'm just going to sand it back a bit then spray it silver I think. Also got a bit of engine bay wiring to hide, hopefully the cables wont need any extending from underneath the guard to wherever they need to go. |

Thanks bud. I sorta scuffed some clear coat on the rocker cover so I'll have to sand/buff those out sometime. Camera just sucks at picking up the actual Envy green colour, took me ages to get pics of the car which were accurate, rockers a bit darker n duller than in real life, but you get the idea.
Fuel rail is polished, BBM + thermostat housing sprayed in 'Aluminium' high temp engine paint, looks pretty good as theres a lot of flake through it. If anyone is doing an AU conversion I posted up the K Frame pic to give you an idea of what needs to be done. Hopefully the search function can find it

Krisisdog, can you chuck up some pics of what you did with the interior? As in The gearknob/boot, wheel, all the black bits etc?

Yeh can do.
Motor starts, runs, but after running for a min or so developed a 'whistle'... sort of like a vacuum leak or a fuked spigot bearing - but the spigots brand new... Noise comes back when on idle, goes away when you rev it a bit. I'll see if I can find what the fk it is tomorrow, had enough for one day. |

Well just drove into town n back with no bonnet, got pulled into an RBT.
And got let go hahaha. Copper just goes "Mate you cant really be driving round with no bonnet on eh?" Asked me if it was engineered about 4 times though, even though every time I answered nah it doesnt need to be its the same motor, just a different one cos my old ones dead. Funny stuff. I was s**t lol. |
