OH by the way Ben I have just got word that your payment for your work on Lawso's car has been loaded and ready for shipping

[Astron_Boy]

BAHAHAHAHA

by the looks of it, you'll have to wait a while if it's coming from there

idiot Lawso, it's AUSTRALIA, NOT AUSTRIA!!!

[Lawso]

what?

i wasn't apart of any of this!

[Bennoz]

You bloody well should be! Your car changed it attitude towards me today...

- Put the track day cat back in.
- Stripped timing assembly off. Belt is actually ok, everything else is not.
- Checked & removed water pump. Also leaking into timing area.
- Checked & removed timing belt seals. All fucked, all rock hard, all leaking everwhere
- Finally.... found a couple of really baaad things....

Leaking rear cam seals



Leaking idler bearing



Leaking front cam seals



Leaking water pump



Results of leaks



Cracked cam seals. Harder than Chuck Norris.



Snapped rear cam carrier shell. Just happens to be the one that supplies the oil to the cam bearings




Now for the days winner. Free beer to whoever can guess what's wrong with this picture....

Is that one of the valves/valve spring cover cracked right round?

[Sweep]

Fook looks like you have your work cut out for you thier ben!
If you need any gaskets / seals I will have some spare I had to buy a complete VRS topend kit but I will only be useing half of the seals and gaskets as im only doing one block, plus I have a set of cam seals which i ordered seperatly to the vrs kit.
Would be happy to let a fellow forum member have them cheap.

[Bennoz]

Thanks Sweep, but we're gonna need a full VRS kit here too. That last pic is of a bent valve.

Where did you get the kit?

I got the kit from one of the mechanics in town, a complete head kit was $390.00 he also got me a set of cylinder studs as mine were stretched and a valve.
