No, he's using the forum drag day as a test & tune session. That's working on your car isn't it? :tease:

Best way to run in a new motor is 3/4 throttle with load. Kinda like towing a tandem :spoton:

Or if it's the motor in the Torry you're talking about, sitting on about 2000 rpm for an hour ought to run it in!!! :spoton:

Some times i HATE MY CAR.

the Power steering shit itself bigtime, last weekend towing Ricks torana to heathcote the power steering started to play up and needed regular top ups of fluid, now even with fuid in the pump its super stiff to steer.

My mechanic mate recons the pump has shit itself but we looked at were the leak was and the rack is pissing out fluid bigtime from the drivers side neer the lines.

I have a complete VN spare with good power steering on it but im hoping to get the job done tomoro or else im not gona be able to come and Rick wont have anyone to tow his car and chopper wont have a lift.

Man am i buzy tomoro.

This may mean I'll have to make other arrangements with Dick and Steve about the respective 253 water pump and VK EFI inlet manifold. Steve could possibly detour past my place on the way up to grab the manifold and drop the water pump off from Dick on the way back if worst comes to worst. I'm getting my UC on Friday, but as the overheating problem may not have been properly fixed by the current owner, I'm not risking it.

If you're going to Heaths place, you may as well pop over to mine. If he can make it on his pushy, your LJ should make the journey. I'll PM you my mobile just in case.
