The inlet manifold gasket is the one between the head and the manifold. there is a water passage that is offset by about 5mm at the front of it.

i see leaking water from the manifold to motor and the water outlets from the cabs; that this consider as vaccum leak? :$ Check that your inlet manifold gasket is not upside down. I had a so called mechanic do this to my galant and he tried to tell me that my head had a split water jacket. Standard...

i think 4g32 dohc heads cant be that good or they would have continued making them.. look at all the works teams racing cars, they were all #4 and #5 cam 4g32 SOHCs Shuggy, Kenjiro Shinozika ran a Galant GTO MR with a twin cam 4G32 in it at one of the Suthern Cross rallies. The motor was then sold ...

After being away from rallying as a competitor for nearly 30 years,I'm pouring a bucket load of time and money into my escort at present. It was origionally to be a classic rallly car,(based on Colin Bonds old 2litre),but the more I am hearing about CAMS,the build might take advantage of the extra f...

One word Nath.....AMSAG..I'll probably get my ass whipped,but they are much more competitor friendly

The car will have to have a CAMS log book that has the engine# and Chassis # recorded in it.the log book also has a pic of the car in it and the scrutineers check the numbers to validate the cars identity, we are having enough dramas with rally rego as it is,so don't be a tight arse and screw it for...

If you want it to last DO NOT put 2pack clear over acrylic. Acrylic softens in hot waether and moves,whereas 2pack doesn't,so after a while.you will end up with cracks every where. also,1.4mm is way too small a setup for acrylic. Use a 2mm. This advice is from a praypainter with over 30 years experi...

From memory,there were 5 different clutches for galants.

The only factory drivers I can think of were Barry Ferguson,Doug Chivas and the Geoghans. From memory the...

thanks for the update on Dumbass . I left the place I worked at in Berowra a few years ago,so I wasn't sure ife he was still there. Hope he took Wilbur with him.

Since some one stole my Webers and Solexes,I have no carbs for my GA . I have been thinking of doing something that my mate did with his speedway car years ago. I want to modify an inlet manifold to accept 4 1 3/4" SU carbs. Will this work? Will it be as good as a pair of 45mm Webers,or am I wa...

There is Mark Dumas at Dumar Auto in Berowra Waters Rd berowra ( At tha Caltex Servo opposite the Fire Station). He does a lot of race car tuning and used to work on a V8 supercar.

Hey Dave Where's your floor mats?

My old GA. Sorry about the pic,but my ex wife kept all of the photo albums and I only found this one in te bottom of a box of stuff in the shed.

I agree with Dave about mixing clear with colour. With acrylic,I normally apply 3 coats of colour,then lightly sand with P800 Wet and dry,then spray 3 or 4 more coats. As for thinning,I generally thin 50% so the paint flows a bit better. I might write an article about acrylic paint jobs in the near ...

Dave
If it comes up anywhere as good as the wagon It will be sweet. Great find.

I know who it is though
Paul Bramble,possibly a Castrol rally "79?

There was a cam that we played with that was a #5+2. It was a bit wilder than the #5 and this is the one the Gosford Dyno Lancers were running till Hilly and Belly went to BDA Escorts.

The 1850 was the base Astron engine in GE Sigmas.

30 years ago the Gosford Dyno Tune Lancer rally cars were putting down between 118 and 120 HP ATW. These were 4G32s with C2 (narrow ringed) pistons,#5 cam,Twin 45mm Webers and some head work. This particular Dyno had a reputation as one of the most accurate Dynos in the country. The factory power ra...

i like the fact that I will be able to re create the car that I had 30 years ago,the only difference is that I will be doing the work on it. I can't wait to feel the adrenalin rush as it is thrown into a corner at 7000+rpm on the dirt.

You guys are awsome ,what more could I ask for,thank you muchly


Just ask for GN Sigma windscreen mould clips.

Powder first Shuggy,stops your fingers becoming part of the equation :lol: :lol: . It's good to see that someone agrees with me about something though :thumpsup: . A cheap alternative is bi-carbonate soda and pink Zap (the thin super glue that the aeroplane guys use). Not quite as strong,but will do...

[quote="75wagon"] How thin can you get ply? I don't want it to be thick, MrPly and wood has birch aircraft ply in 0.4mm ,.05mm ,1.6mm. You can also get Hoop ply down to 1.6mm as well. I reckon some carbon vinyl would look pretty trick on a GD dash Dave :thumpsup: As for adhesive,there is a...

To polish the lenses,use some buffing compound and a nice soft,clean rag. Rub the crap out of them,wash them and repolish with Brasso. Works a treat. A couple of guys I knew that did a lot of panel and paint on jap imports,used to rub faded and yellowed headlight lenses with 800wet and dry,then spra...

Dave,there is a product called Q_Bond that is great for repairng plastic. The kit consists of a powder and really thin Cyanoacrylate glue . You just vee out the cracks or the broken bits,feed a bit of the powder in,run a few drops of glue and repeat the process till the thickness has been achieved.S...

Just a quicky as to the strength of an RX7 box. One of the young guys that I worked with had a series 4 RX7 that was putting 375hp to the ground (mild port 13B,Hi flow T04,Haltech,etc.) Never broke a box.
Any NSW Central Coast members may remember it. (MRS13B)
