As at times when letting off/changing gear at high rmp i get a puff of oil smoke, i've picked up a new head from Dan (cheers dude) ready to re-build.
Strip down.

Having the gaskets still here from when i got a set when i first fitted the let so that's good. Picked up this set for the oil pump gaskets.

Getting all the valves out this week, to change the stem seals and grind the valves in.

Needs fitting so i can fix and shape to be right on the car, so i left my car at the bodyshop tonight so i can go in early to moz and play. Then it can be painted and fitted, got another rear spoiler ready to paint and fit with it, a brand new rear screen rubber and thinking of buying a brand new rear screen too, as a few of the lines on mine dont work and it looks old and tatty... More soon.
Bootlid killerlol
Was it stem seals causing the smoke or something worse?
new gate, nice.
I see some of the dubbers are getting rear screens with the heating elements deleted, to look cleaner. Is that an option? can you scrape off the elements & buff up the glass? It would look cool.
ECU covering is a good idea. One of the big-block conversion 'hates' for me.
I've been told that as well craig, Lmfao at the magic tree
Believe so, after the swap i'll find out if not..lolQuote:

To have tinted it has the lines, i'd be worried about making the glass trying to get the lines off.. Am trying to get a bit that's like the front screen with the tiny lines you can hardly see...Quote:
