SLOWEA is boosting again!

EASPRINT · 08-09-2005, 06:19 PM

Well guys...I'm happy to say...The EA is going again!....Thanks to a little advice from my brother in law. He came over the other night and we went thro and checked everything in the top end. Did a change of the Lash adjusters...noise was still there.....then did comp test...and all OK....so we decided to throw another Rocker Rack on it.....and BINGO.....all fixed!!!. I put some plugs in it tonight and took it out for a thrash....and all good....no knocking noises!. It's just a shame it had to let go when i was getting ready to race those R31's at the drags....lol

EFFalcon · 08-09-2005, 07:40 PM

Good stuff Dave

fantastic to hear its nothing terminal... if only we had a spare rocker rack @ heathcote.
Just gotta get that auto in there now ;)

ilsautomotive · 08-09-2005, 07:45 PM

Yes you'd think someone would have remembered a spare rocker assembly.

Glad to hear it's back in action Dave.

Qwikcorty · 08-09-2005, 08:02 PM

at least you can go into a shop and buy parts for the 6's, i cant find plugs or leads anywhere off the shelf for my car. Damn american 5.0 lol

LUXO_8 · 08-09-2005, 08:13 PM

i'd heard that once before about leads for AU V8's

plugs shouldnt be a problem though...

Gunns · 08-09-2005, 08:41 PM

Good to hear Dave that it was something so simple.

eb six on boost · 08-09-2005, 08:41 PM

the main reason i bought an eb for a tow car was to rip parts off it at the track if need be.

DUMTEF · 08-09-2005, 08:45 PM

good to hear its back on the road.. does that mean it will be at the cruise tomorrow night???
