[tazz666]

Rob mate a different class of clientel here,lol

[vinny_69]

well the tracking is all spot on and she was only a tad out 19 mm drivers side and off the scale pass side
while he was under it he checked all my handy work and just nipped up the lower arms for us,the thing i did do wrong was the top mount nuts, instead of the thinner nut above the plate and the thicker one below it i did it arse about face that might be the reason its knocking on big bups on the drivers side.or i just forgot to tighten the oooje nut that keeps the shock in place.

[Robs-se]

Glad your all sorted now mate

[vinny_69]

even with the knocking it's great to drive around not looking like a nodding dog

[vinny_69]

well i had a look the weekend and the only part i havent replaced has bloody failed




drivers side wheel bearing as much as i love it i fecking hate it at times

[vinny_69]

all was fine on saturday i replaced the steering wheel for a 3 spoke veccy one
sunday went for a blast and............ the se3 isnt in good shape i was sitting at the trafficlights went to pull away but never did first i thought it was the clutch cable but nope its got full movement my other problem is it now constantly overheats and only runs on 3 pots

so i think the ashtray needs emptying

[Fraz]

off with its head

[vinny_69]

already ahead of you Fraz blown between 3 and 4 and the clutch is a bit wanked

[k1nty]

allways busy arnt you mate.be like a new one when your done.

[vinny_69]

if i ever get done you mean

[Fraz]

its an 8V takes about an hour to get the head off, check for distortion, new head gasket and rebuild ....start it at 10am be all done by lunch time

[vinny_69]

i know what it is and how to do it Fraz the head is off it will need a skim (then again even if it didnt it would get one anyway)
as for the clutch hummm maybe i can get one before the weekend

[Fraz]

why would it need a skim???? has it been cooked, Iknow you said it overheats, but to what degree, should only skim a head if it is really needed ...and thats why i said check for distortion, flat edge (metal rule)check at various points over the head using a set of feeler gauges

[Fraz]

tow it to billing we will do it

[Jamesyboy]

tow it to billing we will do it

lmao! I can quite believe it
