hey guys! long needed update on this car of mine. was booked in pretty much to get new lifters installed and potentially a bigger cam with a converter but upon arrival to the shop to drop my car off to get this work done i was informed he were too busy and it would have to be another 3 weeks! at the time this lifter noise was getting pretty bad and i also needed my car well before christmas, so did the calling around thing and forum reading on who had good experiences and where. so i was led to oztrack, after speaking with steve on the phone i was pretty happy i chose them, he is a really really nice guy and offered great service and advise! so dropped my car off there for them to asses this suss lifter and they found that a lifter had worn like a 3mm groove into a cam lobe, the cam bearings were stuffed as well (potentially from the factory oil releif valve jamming) SO i decided on a 3600 stall, HPS cam which the guys talked me into their HPO cam as the converter would work nice with it, has new dual valve springs (which seem a little noisy, normal??), moly pushrods, roller rockers, howards lifters, new cam and conrod bearings and piston rings done! lol plus it all chemically cleaned!! all up with a small squirt around penrith and a few hits on the dyno it made 330kw...... it drives great although i feel there could be maybe just a little more tweaking done to get it really good, the converter is awesome its a triple plate one so locks up pretty good for the highway, and it idles tough as! really choppy and lumpy (which ill try and get a vid up!) so yeah there is the update and hopfully nothing else goes to **** lol
cheers!
