had to sonic test a grey from an ej the other day for my machinist, and he also had another block in the shop that his late father bored out many years ago that ran 149 pistons at 3.25"

std bore was 3" for the 132, then 3.062" for the 138. this particular block was a "b" prefix, supposedly from a fj???

either way, the big bore block still had more meat in the bores than the ej block!!

simply for curiosity only, does this go along with common theory, or against it??

Hey guys

I've seen a EH, a FC crewman and a couple of HQ-WB's

My question is has anyone ever seen one done in HKTG or anything else earlier???

Cheers Stephen

Ive just bought a Yamaha XT660R bike.
I live in Melbourne and would like to take it for a rag off the road.
Any good routes that anyone knows of? Don't want to head miles to get there.

Wow, turn ya back for 5 mins, and the bloody missus tries to pinch it

it kinda looks like shes enjoying the rumble vibrations :)

Finally picked up the vs750, has milky oil.

Im guessing headgaskets are the most common "cause"

will a compression test show if a gasket has blown.,etc?

G'day, Im looking for a 1 alloy cheviot 14 x 7 jelly bean mag for Ht holden stud pattern. Any help apreciated. Thanks.

I hope I haven't put this up before.
I'm sure someone'll tell me if I have...
(Dunno what the hell I've done here, but it's not showing on the front page......)

trams go better with coke,mailines go better with esso extra.

gday i have a holden 308 in a 45 series toyota landcrusier, the issues that i am having is that the cooling system is over pressurising and sending coolant into the over flow bottle and overflowing the over flow bottle, and the engine temp is high (90 degrees c). i have replaced the cap and have had no change, then i put i slightly higher poundage cap on it and it has helped slightly but still very high in pressure and same temp. i then changed the thermosstat to a lower temp (71 degrees c) and still no changed.. would i be wrong in guessing that i have a blown head gasket, or craked head? any help would be a great help.

thanks,

Hi all
My headlights are out again, the dip switch has gone I think so I'm after a new one. The plug going into it looks like it had burned through, this could be the problem. Does anyone have a working dip switch they don't need?
Also, if anyone has a way to bypass the switch just in the meantime so I can have lowbeam?
Cheers
Todd

how do you tell the differnce between an m20 and m21 gearbox from the outside
cheers

hi i am chasing some jelly bean mags 5 or 6 inch by 14 inch,pete 0413383683 thanks

Any one displaying at this weekends Old Holden Day in Sydney? Blake and I will be there and look forward to seeing some of the rebuilds that have featured in the sheds. Last year was brilliant.

OK. I'm seriously thinking of changing my HR p/van's tail-lights to sedan/wagon lights. Anyone done this? Any opinions? I googled a few years ago and found a guy's pics on how to do it... Be blowed if I can't find it now...
I have a wagon and a sedan to tax the parts from, just trying to work out which one would be the better donor..
I'm not concerned about resale value...I'll probably never sell it.

Thanks guys....Tim.

Would anyone here have a HJ Factory steel sliding sunroof they want to sell or parts of one.Any condition considered. Thanks.

i have pretty much rebuilt my 253 for my ute. i went to start it yesterday and it wasnt firing. checked the oil and it was a bit high and smelt like petrol. drained the sump and yip full of gas. i thought it was the fuel pump so pulled it off. i tested it by blocking the out hose and hand pumping it. no gas coming out so cant be that. i pulled the inlet manifold of cant see any cracks and no light comes through the bottom when i shine it into the ports. it has a brand new holley 600 on it so it wont be flooding up. also it doesnt have a pcv conected. any ideas im stumped.

Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster.

The reason for this? Because this place is a wealth of information/knowledge if anything goes wrong!
So, a quick thanks to everyone that has made fixing any kind of Holden a lot easier.

Now, a few months back, I was driving the HX along and all of a sudden it started too make a REALLY horrible clunking noise from the engine bay, so I pushed the clutch in and rolled it into the emergency lane and turned the thing off. Later I got it towed home.
I'm am by no means a car savvy person but I have good mechanical aptitude, and thought that it had sheered the big end bolts on the conrod.

Hello everyone !

So I got the HZ straight and in black primer ready for the phantom purple and BOOM someone hit the side of my car !!

Im after the front and rear passenger doors for a HZ sedan. I also need a cutout from the back door till half way of the rear quarter because the dudes bull bar flattened my wheel arch.

Im from melbournes south east so only parts that are in vic please =D

here is a couple of pics of the damage, and if anyone has recomendations of where to cut for the cutout could you outline it on microsoft paint and upload for me :D i included a couple of the car too ;) lol.

Ohh and please excuse the dirtyness, due to the weather lately i keep getting bogged on my own nature strips lol ! And my bonnet doesnt line up beacuse hinge is bent :(

So the questions they say are how fast can you connect the fibre to my door so I can get a better education, a better health service?
Pfft.
More like how much faster can I download my porn?
lmfao

hi all

just wondering if anyone knows someone who has done a 4x4 conversion to an old holden??

People,

I am aware that I should just do away with my power steering set up but humour me for a minute.

I can't find anyone who will touch the power steering ram (HT) to repair a significant fluid leak. The ram is pitted and will need repair and rechroming.

Anyone know of someone who will look at it. I am south of Perth but will send it wherever it needs to go.

I'm also happy to hear other advice.

Thanks.

Cheers.
