I was just wondering whether I would get a fair bit of performance by putting a 186 head on my 202? Does it raise the compression? What is the compression ratio for a standard 202 with low comp head? Does the LC imprinted on the head mean its low compression?

Thanks

Hi everone can someone tell me wqhats the deffernces between the 308 red, blue and black engines. can someone tell me witch one of these do i have thanks guys.

G'day all

Seem to be having a drama with removing the plugs on my old HQ 308, only had the car a couple of months and I went to pull the plugs this arvo and replace them BUT, my plug sockets (3 good brand units) will not fit on fully and due to this just want to round the end of the plug nut, I have looked at the situation with a mirror a torch and some extreme rubber arms and neck, all of the sockets seem to be to thick walled and binding on the head with out getting full purchase on the plug thus rounding the very end? is this normal? sockets are all the same o.d. is there a smaller o.d. socket that can be bought? had 308's before and never run into this problem so any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

I was wondering if you have checked your emails recently? It's just that I would like more info on your v6 conversion etc ie pics, and a bit of a rundown of the whole project. Like what mods you have done with your FJ.

P.S, to other OH members in W.A, I will be visiting Perth for 1st time very soon in the 2nd week of December. Be nice to possibly meet any members while I am over there. Any one interested email me at v8fanlive@hotmail.com.

cheers

Hi all,

Recently had Air con installed and the old Statesman is now overheating. It doesn't seem to like having the condesor sitting in front of the radiator maybe? It sat at 80deg before, but now pushes 110 on open road. Found the radiator was blocked and damaged, just got a brand new heavy duty cored radiator put in, car is now running at 100deg (a little cooler but still too hot) went to replace the thermostat today only to find it didn't have one anyway. Anyone got any other ideas? Pretty sure the water pump is still going strong as there is plenty of pressure in the hoses, standard clutch fan seems to be functioning fine and the original shroud is still there.

Having more dramas with the VB. I had a new tacho laying about that was still new in the box so i decided to put it in the VB followed the wiring diagram to the T Black to good earth, Red to switched 12 volt power, Green to negative on coil and white to instrument lights. Problem occurs once the car is started it takes about 5 seconds for the tacho to start working then it jumps up to 900 rpm, under revs it is very inaccurate depending on the throttle i give it varies between being 1500rpm - 3000rpm lower then it should be. The tacho is one of those do it all jobs 4's,6's,8's and its definitely set to 6 (working with a 202). Ive tried running the live feed and earth directly from the battery but this made no difference.

Im not sure if youve seen this, its a cask badge from my local pub.

Hey guys. Sorry about the off topic post. I am looking at getting solar power and solar hot water for my house (the money I save can buy more parts for my old Holden, so technically it is still on topic..). Does anyone have solar power or solar hot water? are there companies you would recommend or not recommend? are there any forums in Australia for this stuff?

Cheers
Dave

Hey guys does anyone know the weight of a Bare 308 Block?

or if not the weight of a complete engine?

Just a few pics of early model Ambos Ive seen around my local area in recent times, seen the HR today while shopping with the missus, the fairmont while visiting a friend and the link is to a HZ that I remember from when I was at high school, it was owned by a guy a year or two above me, If I had the money and room Id give it a good home.

As far as I know the others are not for sale so dont bother asking.

Premier or Brougham? You decide, lol.

I recently tried to replace the bottom half of the rear main oil seal on a 202. The new kit comes with two blue half circle shaped seals. How do they fit? Because I thought i had it fitted correctly but when i tightened it on it tore the seal up and the engine could not turn?? Do they put two types of oil seals in the kit because different ones take different seals? Because there are these two round seal kind of things. They are solid, but look to be made of a rope kind of material ???

Please help me

Hi all,

I am getting rid of a HZ SL Sedan.

There is no carpet. All original, still has the original Irish mist blue paint. Is on LPG - not dual fuel, and fuel tank has been removed. minor rust in doors, the car is not running, something wrong with LPG set-up but when it was it went beautifully. red 308 motor, air horns.
If anyone is interested the car is in Springwood NSW (30 mins from penrith) I'm not worried about getting great money for the car. I just need to get rid of it, otherwise it will be going to the wreckers at the end of the week.

ask any q's or contact me on 0424 652 452 - Dan
