    If anyone is about today, my supra is coming out for an hour or two(usually under cover + garaged). I need to goto the bodyshop to sort out a few little issues. If anyone wants to have a look at the car let me know

    I had a Gallardo E gear spider for a while last year. Beautiful car. i've never driven the 430, but i've driven a 360 - the Gallardo wins hands down for me. The clutch on the E gear costs around 4k to replace though and it gets through them quite quickly. The sound the thing makes is just insane and I think they look awesome. As someone said though - it is a little bit about theatre, but who cares! I know a chap with an F430 and he said it's always breaking down - but he still loves it Paul.

    Thought I'd have another go with a new ribe bit and an impact wrench.....it worked! had to use a big lump hammer! The new bit was a tighter fit than the one i used before and there was just enough left of the splines in the head bolt for it to turn the bolt! Photo's attatched, Head gasket doesnt look that bad, but one of the rings looks bent on the gasket? It was defo the head gasket - pressure build/bubbles up in the coolant system and overheating/rough running.

    Ok thanks, This is a 98' 1.2 16v, I dont think it's that advanced Did a bit of phoning around - the kit to reset the position of cams/crank/pistons is 80 quid! I could get a complete low mileage engine for 200!

    So what your saying is that I should buy the couple of tools to set the TDC and lock the cams in place as I'm going to have the head skimmed? Or wont it make that much difference if I just mark it up and slap the old cambelt back on? Cheers, Paul.

    If your not taking the pulleys off, then you should be able to mark the pulleys to the head/block and then put it back exactly how it came off shouldnt you? I dont get why they dont put markings on the pulleys! Why dont all engines have keyways/TDC marks on the cams/crank pulleys? To make it harder for joe public I guess? Paul.

    now I'm really annoyed. I started to undo the head bolts last night (correct order, 1/4 turn at a time). I got to the last bolt and the plines inside the bolt head just sheared off - I didnt apply hardly any pressure! what a pile of ****!! Going to have to drill the head off the last bolt now! I dont suppose it would be a good idea to weld a socket onto the bolt head would it? The heat would probably knacker the head.

    Soon, these inexperience young drivers will buy up all the cheap supras.....crash them and then all of our insurance premiums will go up and no one will be able to afford to own one!
