Finally all back together now and running pretty smooth. Had it up on the hoist today after almost a week and I've spotted a fuel leak and a coolant leak so hopefully sort them this weekend and all should be well. Probably one of the scariest moments of my life starting it up for the first time...
Finally made some progress on this. Rods turned up with the bearings the other week so I sent everything to the machine shop and to my surprise I got everything back just four days later.
Work I had done was:
Valve cover painted
Block cleaned, painted, honed and measured
Crank balanced up...
How do you build enough of the bridge when doing it solo? I used the stand on the box at the back method because I could never build the bridge before the totems kill you.
My cup had eyelets bolted down doing nothing under the fronts seats, no idea if they were there from factory or somebody put them in, so I removed them and bolted them down in the spare holes left behind from the rear bench.
I could use some more practice with the sword taking down crota but other than that I'm ready for hard mode.
I've read somewhere it's going to be level 33? That will be insane.
I can imagine it's so frustrating trying to get that trophy. I'm 32 on my hunter and 31 on my warlock now. Picked up enough shards in the raid this week.
Anyone use a headset while playing Destiny on PS4? I have some Turtle Beach Spectres I tried using but the incoming voice chat volume is awful, it's impossible to hear your teammates if you have the game volume on anything other than silent. Do other headphones suffer from this? I see there is a...
Level 31, have most of the raid gear and an exotic helm. Just need shards to hit 32.
Crota is easy enough to take down legitimately if the party is mostly 31s.
I didn't like the way the new DLC made the old raid gear completely obsolete and surpassed by gear that is readily available for...
I know but not uncommon on these motors. Pistons turned up today. Few other bits like crank girdle, oil pump and pickup and a couple of injectors turned up yesterday.
Just waiting on everything turning up now, ordered Wiseco pistons, Manley H beam rods and Mahle Clevite mains and big end bearings.
The rest of the bits I need like gaskets, timing chain kit, head bolts and main bolts I'll get from Mazda. I just need to find some technical information on setting...
Replacement block and sump turned up today. Went to an engine builder who's local and explained what I wanted doing and he said he can get me some forged pistons at a better price so I look forward to what he can get for me. He's going to service the head, replace the damaged valves, clean the...
I estimate about $3,500 roughly but no doubt will end up more.
Everything was running sweet until it went. No detonation or anything and it happened cruising at freeway speed in 6th.
Plate was $450 ;-)
Just over a week ago the con rod on cylinder one snapped and put a hole in the front and the back of the block. So currently it's off the road and in bits until I can get all the parts I need to put it back together which won't be until after christmas as a lot of it is coming from the states...
So are you doing your bachelors degree now? I'm still working full time, roof is going on this week on the house I believe but had a rotten bit of luck with the Mazda last week a conrod snapped and smashed the bottom end to pieces so it's off the road now for a bit.
The Eibach hubcentric...
Things are great pal, I can't believe you've got a 182 already, I thought you'd have the 1.2 a lot longer!
Are you guys carrying on at Uni another year?
You can just make 29 yeah but if you want to hit 30 it's best to save your shards for raid gear.
Exotic helmet is the best way to go because you can get the other three pieces of raid gear from doing the level 26 VOG and still hit 30 without having to do the level 30 VOG.
I've finally hit 30...
Did you play heaps of crucible to get the legendary engrams?
I have rare everything level 23 and I've only got one legendary item but it was for warlock so I couldn't use it.
Gameplay trailer has been shown off at TGS 2014. I'm impressed by what I've seen, I really hope it's a return to form for the series.
There's a link to another video with extended gameplay footage in the comments.
No release date yet.
When you play competitive the difference in level doesn't matter it tells you before joining the game so it's pretty much like any other shooter in that mode.
I'm enjoying it a lot at the moment, I've just reached Mars and I'm level 18. I love the strike missions the most where it launches the...
