Did you sort your solid front mount out from that lad also what did you replace in your engine when you rebuilt it

 

[turboholic]

still cant get hold of him. i replaced all gaskets, bearings, seals, piston rings, con rods, cambelt kit, water pump, all stretch bolts........think thats about it

 

[chaazza]

still cant get hold of him. i replaced all gaskets, bearings

When you say all gaskets did you buy a head gasket set if so what did it include
What gaskets did you replace on the bottom end
I'm gonna do all bearings just not sure what gaskets to do bottom end and were to get them
Also if you get hold of the person with the solid front.mount let me no as I'm after one to

 

[turboholic]

yeah i bought a headgasket set. comes with headgasket, head bolts, valve stem oil seals, rocker cover gasket, coolant block o ring (side of the head), both manifold gaskets, ummmmm think thats it. i also replaced the thermostat!

bottom end gasket set from jabba. its on their website! you get the front and rear crank oil seals, oil filter housing gasket and o ring for the oil cooler, and sealant for the sump.

yeah will do mate

 

[chaazza]

How much was the kit from jabba mate

 

[turboholic]

cant remember off the top of my head. have a look on their site. think it was quite expensive for what it is!
