***Official What did you do to your EK today***

[mocchi]

qualified isn't over rated, it's the extra skills we learn day by day,,

so if you build a race motor, all you need is a service manual to build the race motor?

youre hurt arent you? lmzo. im sorry bro. i didnt mean to offend you. think about the context of what andreacivic is trying to say.
and we're not talking about building a race motor, we're talking about replacing an isb.

brb spend 4 yrs to get cert. to replace isb.

but it left these black glue/silicone like things anyone got any ideas how to remove ?

[EKVTIR-T]

You can heat it up with hairdryer and try to peel them off and any left over adhesive use eucalytpus oil or grease/wax remover

never used eucalyptus oil for that purpose, but eucalyptus oil is very good gentle cleaner....

say sticky stuff on leather, watch bands,, anything where finesse is needed and not brute force.

half way into my rebuild... 6 hours later that is hahahahaha.... new clutch is in

Just waiting on the new isb for the new gb for i to really get knuckled down into replacing the old with the new... should be interesting

On a side note, the isb does infact make a noticeable noise when hand rotating it so its definite a sign its on its last leg

out with the old...





In with the new

its a xtreme hd clutch, was gonna opt for exedy, but was more expensive....

total kms so far was around 170,000kms, but the surprising thing was that the clutch had heaps of meat on it, but the pressure plate was worn.... id say if the pressure plate was still good, i can get maybe another 30,000kms or so......

Its do-able for most who have an itch for mechanical diy, but definate takes time doin it

[Alvis]

170,000kms on the original clutch!? Wow, that is impressive... good on you for having a go at the DIY and hope you're happy with it.

Oh, found out last night someone smacked my rear wheel arch - not sure when it happened, probably Monday at shopping car park - was SO pissed but lucky I got the marks off with polish.

When will people f*kn learn how to drive trolleys in carparks
