pulled the head apart (but not off) and replaced the valve stem seals with new ones. doesnt smoke badly anymore. oly slightly after deceleratio and when its cold and thats acceptable.
the old seals were half gone and so hard they wouldnt do anything anyway. I ahvent got a camera at the moment so heres the two pics my mates took
going to take car back for a wof today
Sweet! Nice work. Good luck on the w0f! Glad she doesn't smoke so bad anymore!
I reckon. I passed the WOF. So im legal for another 6 months
Yeah buddy! Congrats on the w0f! Why only 6 months? Do you have to w0f every 6 months???
Congrats on Passing WOF!!
And yeah he has to get WOF every 6 months there based on the age of his car, newer cars are once a year (I only know this cuz I read the NZ road code when I was bored)
indeed, cars 6 years old or newer only have to go once a year. they should be made to pay twice as much since they get a wof for twice as long, and if they can afford a car newer tha 6 years old they shouldnt complain
man 6 months is not alot....in california its every 2 years
getting the wof is a good feeling when you have old cars.Quote:

WELLLLL no updates for ages on this car. i can now do the rest of the car audio as i have a new box built now. but the other day another gay alternator died on me!!! I think it might be my inefficient amplifier causing them to blow. cause with my adequite wiring/earthing/terminals and time spend on the install the lights on the car still dim with the bass. and maybe the alternator doesnt like it.
can anyone diagnose this: battery light goes off when the car starts, as normal, but the battery doesn't charge at idle. but if you rev the car up the lights will get brighter. its like its charging when i rev it higher.....
when the alt stopped working the battery light came on, i turned the car off and started it again, the light went out so i thought nothing of it....
worn brushes?
i am hoping so. tried it out again before, car runs with battery not connectected. you can rev the car up and turn the lights and stereo on and it will idle with them going, turn the stereo up louder and louder and it keeps going.. lights dim as usual. then try winding a window down and it all dies. cant handle the amps im hoping its the brushes not leting enough current thru???
i obtained another gearbox in exchange for a car shell and $20 cash yesterday. That makes a total of 4 B20A manual boxes on the property. i now have a spare for each car :)
