    VS 304 torque specs

    I had a similar issue with my V6 on LPG, had a air lock in the Heater circuit that it would not clear. In the end I pulled the hose off the water pump going to the heater and LPG mixer and shoved the garden hose up it and then quickly shoved the hose back on the waterpump. That did the trick...

    Have you adjusted the centre carrier bearings? You can move the whole diff centre over to get backlash.

    WAR is getting Close.

    In some ways Russia has already started the proliferation problem again by moving tactical nukes to Belarus, to counter, the PM of Poland has already declared they are happy to Host US/Nato nukes.

    WAR is getting Close.

    i think Anders summed it up nicely. The use of nukes either way will most likely result in Putin loosing the war and/or Russia. The nuke threat is a bluff because the West has once again stepped up it's support for Ukraine with better weapons and less restrains on the use of those weapons...

    Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

    It is amazing, the parcel was dispatched May 9th from the US (so really the 10th here), arrived here in Auckland cleared customs on Sunday but those last few Km from the Airport to my house seem to be the most difficult! I could have walked to the airport, collected it and walked home and still...

    Rust in cooling system 304 V8

    I'd wait with replacing the pump. Try and clean it out good and proper first. When you aren't getting any more debris in the filter then consider changing the pump or just leave it. If the bearings feel good and it's not leaking then maybe the seal has survived.

    VS 304 torque specs

    I can't say sorry as non of my V8's have had cast iron exhaust manifolds but my experience with the V6 engines shows that end exhaust manifold bolts break and cause leaks and the passenger side always ends up cracking. The fact you can feel air coming somewhere from the exhaust system under the...

    Nice. I'd get one of these, https://allmusclecarparts.com.au/tefba-radiator-filter.html And then run some cooling system flush/cleaner/descaler. The filter will stop more **** going into the radiator but you'll need to clean it regularly.

    That picture is a sad indictment on US politics and the fact that you actually think one of those two geriatrics is fit for office makes your mental health questionable as well. You do nothing more than parrot his election propaganda (like all the terrorists crossing the border from Mexico)...

    Alternator for 1984 VK running a 355

    Best option is to work out how much electrical power you need including potential future upgrades and use that as a guide. Most alternators have it stamped/cast into the body what the rating is, something along the lines of 25/85 14.4 (typical V6 rating, 25 amp minimum output, 85amp maximum...

    I was going to write a decent reply but this just shows you are totally out of touch with reality. The US has bigger issues with internal extremist groups than imported terrorists like you claim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States

    Single flange to duel flange

    Yes, the twin exhaust system will fit the ecotec/VT. But if you are going to fit high flow cats then you are going to have to cut/weld as the factory cats in the twin system are a part of the exhaust down pipes coming off the exhaust manifolds.

    Don't think so, if exhaust valves are hanging open it wouldn't run properly at all.

    VS 304 torque specs

    Definitely sounds like a exhaust leak. Might have to pull the exhaust manifold off, check it over for cracks/holes and run a straight edge (ruler) over the face and make sure it's flat(ish)

    But that is still end float. You called end float BS which it's not. excessive end float is bad. Yes, that is what my manual states too. But I do believe @vs-lover has genuine hard copies of manuals for these cars so it would be good if he could post what Holden recommend.

    Trimatic temp - big staill

    That is probably a bit higher than ideal. As above, where is the temp sensor located? Ideally it needs to be in the pan, if it's in the cooler circuit it needs to be after the transmission cooler. The fluid going to the transmission cooler is coming straight from the converter and is the...
