    engine code myth?

    High or low compression is denoted by a casting on the head of H or L on the intake/exhaust side of head towards the back. Some 179 motors only had HP cast on the side of the block and not 179. Old thread but thought i would throw that in.

    HSV double-row timing chain vs timing gears

    Never had a problem with timing gears. Have heard bad reports about them but never experienced anything bad myself. In early days you had to modify the oiler so it redirected the flow of oil onto the gear drive, and failure to do that would cause damage as you would expect. Other reason for...

    exhaust clunk

    Mine is not hard up against the block, and has about 1/2 cm clearance. Do the rubber components of your exhaust hanger's consist of only black figure eight hangers or do you also have the other type that side onto hanger bars with budged ends and round retaining clips. If you have the second...

    exhaust clunk

    Also theres a small rubber bump stop at the rear near the tail pipe section. Sometimes that little rubber bumper can come loose and fall out all together causing the tailpipe section to bang up against the body. Sorry for the quick and dirty photoshop picture, but it may give you an idea.
