Boosted Falcon

Hey Guys,

I think it may finally be time to drop the ED 4.0L I have sitting in my garage in to TUFPAK. It over heated on Saturday night - with the gauge so convincinly in the red section that a warning light I wasn't sure existed on EA's came on. It was intense but I kept driving.

Anywho I topped up the water and was driving it again yesterday when the gauge went right over again but no light came on I kept driving again (ftw). Got home and it put on a steam and waterworks show like I haven't seen before. The bra was on and I cbf pulling it off to see what dropped it's guts but I reckon it's time for the motor to come out.

Anyone want to help on Sunday?

Prob not looking for too many people... 3 max? Will pay with BBQ and drinks I guess.

Agenda..

1. Pull motor
2. Clean engine bay up
3. Transfer gearbox etc. to new motor
4. Install motor

I think that's a good day's work - not much more. Cleaning will be the most time consuming as it's fairly ratty.

can i come and drink beer and watch?

Haha if anyone actually wants to help that would be good. Spectators may be welcome too, see how it goes.

I'd be in but I'm heading off to the Murray this weekend, and will have to pay for my own beer and BBQs
Maybe senor zervos will offer his services now hes back, kent must be aching to work on E-Series again

I'd lend a hand if I was in Vic and my own car was finished already.

Lol noone's keen? Bastards.

Oh well I'll do it myself.

Gillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll???

i no nothing about engines, or what to do but i can always come along and help, you could just tell me what to do?

I can always come lend a hand. As long as theres someone who know wtf there doin..

Lol sick sick. I'll let you know if I go ahead with it now this weekend.

I ripped the bra off yesterday and found it was the lower radiator hose that had busted it's guts. I had the new one off your old PAO machine sitting in the garage so fitted it up and filled it with water and drove it to gym. Worked well

The lifter tick, slowness, pulley squeal and constant coolant leaks from this motor are giving me the shts. I reckon that I will prob change it on Sunday. I have nothing better to do after Saturday.
