Loose boiler stays

Possibly the power aerial?

Personally, I would be checking the voltage drop between the top of the air intake cover, and the point 15 cm inside the exhaust measured from the rear, at the 2 o'clock position.

Should the voltage be + /- 10% of the difference in the voltage between the point on the windscreen where the rego sticker is, and the 8 o'clock position on the spare wheel, then there is your problem.

The solution is simple thou. Put your car on a trailer (most important - dont drive it any further), and bring it to me. I will arrange for it to be disposed of in the most efficient manner, minus a small handling fee ofcourse (currently 87.6294% of reimburstment of disposal fee)

Problem solved.

Didn't you just go to Van Demon's land?

There's your cause,

problem slipped liner No: 6 cyl

Your intake air is getting in too slow causing the supercharger to cook everything!!!!You need one of those ebay intake supercharges to speed it up,cheap as to fix,around $30 inc delivery

it needs a hiclone...

on top of fixing the overheating the additional economy and power gains will render the supercharger superflous so it can be removed to be sold to some unsuspecting sap thus enhancing the wallet and lightening the vehicle.

With the money gained a second hiclone could be fitted in reverse on the exhaust pipe (might need 2 if its got duals) and between the weight savings of removing the supercharger and the preformance gains from the multiple hiclones setup will result in the engine developing soo much power that it will actually suck the left over hydrocarbons out of the atmosphere force them backwards up the the injectors to be condensed by the cooling effect of the existing fuel in the system to pool in the fuel tank. When full this can be sold off to less suspecting fools to further line your wallet.

Pulled it, no slipped liner, no blown head gasket

BUT, damaged piston tops and a chink of steel in 1 pot similar in size to the tip of a medium flat blade screwdriver

No damage to bores, has been bouncing on the outside of the piston for a LOOONG time, till it lodged in the head

SO, I'm deciding if its diesel time, shuck it on another 3.9, new pistons, reassemble or buy a Toyota

Still to find the heat prob, will drop water pump and thermostat tomorrow and go from there

Atleast I think I found the ticking

Had a tick for a while now like leaky manifold/sticky lifter, *cough* liner *cough*

Under boost and load, temp rises FAAAAAAAAST, pushes a bit of water out and we're cooking, not rapidly but quick, every 80ish kay's we're reaching 100c and stopping cooling and topping water, only taking 3-4l's

I'll be lifting the heads, tomorrow and I don't WANT/NEED an answer, just thought everyone would like a quiz and see if they can pick the fault from the symptoms, ask more questions and share you opinion

Bugger how do I add a pole now?

I'd put money on it being something to do with the hot chick in the passengers seat... well, not actually put money literally on... oh never mind.
