@davidf …thanks David. It’s obvious we were on similar paths. Have you tried tilting your main trailer bed by jacking the front up vertically off the tow hitch? (While you have the trailer brakes on)...

@rojid … that’s definitely a BIG part of the answer…. I was worried you had missed that point when reading your initial reply above. I purchased one of these that bolted directly onto the trailers A-f...

G'day Rojid, I agree with almost everything that David outlined in his post above. It seems like he and I have been on parallel approaches - albeit that I went through this about two years ago. I'll...

@raider89 .... I can confirm that the top sealing washer (oil return fitting from the cooler) can be reused many times - probably for the life of the GDU between rebuilds. Because it's on the top of ...

G’day DIY’ers I've just installed a new RPE 1500 engine and completed my first event. Car ran faultlessly and I managed to Qualify in P1 then 4 wins from 5 sprint races. All up the engine probably did...

Interesting!... "Alfie" was having a crack. Noticed that the 'Temp' dropped through the session (the lower one on the video overlay). I suspect that is Oil Temp. Much lower than I normally like to r...

@sr10formetoo .. Thanks for the info Phil... still an amazing deal when you consider the time and hassles you will save.

@sr10formetoo - Amazing freight price Phil !!.... that must be close to being less expensive than the previous sea freight prices (before the massive delays and escalation in prices)??

@rlm-dan - Champion Dan... looks like I was on the right track.. see pictures below of what I've done so far. I'll run -6 hose between the fittings shown in the pictures once I've got the new engine ...

@jackbaruth - Great write-up... very entertaining as well!

@rlm-dan - G'day Dan, I've just installed a water thermostat and the bleed nipple under the head as you suggested. I've put in an AN-6 fitting and will run the -6 hose down to the radiator 'aluminium...

@raider89 - Google “dowty washer” - should be able to get them in a lot of places.
