• That was pretty much the thought we had, I was worried a bit about turning it over as is with it sitting for the time it has been, was thinking of putting some of the Penrite run in oil I bought  into the tops of the pistons, just in case the assembly lube is long gone

    Sure it’s been answered somewhere, but what’s way of priming the oil pump,…[Read more]

  • ok, well my engine and transmission is finally in the car, after about 3 years

    just want to know what might need to be done to run it in, its a roller cam block out of a VT 5.0, is there a run in procedure for the cams on these?

  • I know the coolant overflow was NLA for years, i was talking about the windscreen washer bottle in the last post, which i did buy new, a few weeks ago.

  • Using Edge 25w 50 in mine. Seems pretty happy although I don’t use it that often.

  • my current coolant overflow was average looking so painted it black and just left a small section with a window to check the level.

    Nah, no club thing. I saw that car on facebook, looked awesome. It was for employees to have there cars photographed. My dad had his HQ done a few months ago and when they announced they were doing another one he put his name down so I could get my car done. They will be doing another one next year so he will get my cousins torana for that one.
