Its not important, i shouldn't have even mentioned it as now everyone will want to know what it was. Needless to say, it didn't affect anything, just delayed its starting for the first time- WOOHOOO!!
I haven't even heard/seen it yet, so im going to be really hanging out until mid-day tomorrow when i go and get her

Fair enough, I was only wondering for when josh and I put his engine back together we don't do the same thing. But it sounds like it was only something minor so no dramas 
Great to hear all is working well, I may have to get in touch with you a little down the track for some hints and pointers when we put Josh's engine back together.

Jungle, there's a bit of delay on the thermostat, I went to the shop on Tuesday only to find that they've ran out, so I asked to order 1.. usually it arrives within the next day or the same day if ordered early in the morning..
but for some reason, it still hasn't arrived.. will find out tomorrow and hopefully its there..
glad your engine's running now.. just curious what thermostat are they using on it at the moment?

Picked her up this arvo. Very very happy. She just purrs like a new kitten. Has that new engine feel to it, it's very quiet. Can hear the clutch bedding in and the new engine mounts i think are much better than previous- it just sounds different.
Got 300m up the road and heard a scraping noise, only to find the push fit plastic things that hold the wheel arch liners in were pretty non existant, so went back to the shop for some zip ties. While i was fitting them, noticed a small water leak. :001_mad:Water hose that goes to the carby was the culprit. Quick trim and different clamp, another pressure test and all was good.
All fixed, set off to run in the engine on the way into Indooroopilly. Did my thing and could feel it freeing up and sealing better all the time. Driving home a short time ago, kept doing "my thing" and it was just eating it up.
Bed in the new rotors from Trav [Hipsi] as well so it's all good.
Was was very noticeable is how little throttle and vacuum it now uses at cruise. Happy.
Still needs regas for aircon- the guys forgot in their excitement! Also needs a wheel alignment and balance.
Otherwise, have 500km to do before i remove the run-in oil and cut open the filter to check for metal.
Here she is, needs a final clean to remove the dirty hand prints from the newly bead blasted inlet and cam covers.
Turned the boost down to a more run-in friendly 6psi.
Got home, with around 90km on trip meter, so will be interesting to log the fuel economy as she frees up. Don't expect the first few to be particularly good though. Had a quick check and that water hose was having a very slight bubble so i'll change it.

Ghetto "hard" pipe. The factory soft pipes expand terribly under boost. Cable Ties dont flex, thus the pipe holds its shape better - improves throttle response.

Hi Simon. Graham Watters here. Coonawarra SA. Good stuff on the rebuild. Any chance you could tell me where the info for timing belt replacement would come from? I have sourced the new belt via Southland Mitsibishi but they could not give me a parts diagram. I am not sure where to find a W/shop Manual either! Cheers mate. noddy.

Hi Graham,
I bought all my parts from Ralliart NZ. Send Bill an email admin@ralliartnz.co.nz Dollar conversion makes it very attractive.
The workshop manual is a point of contention, 18 months or so to translate it, then it didn't include everything. You'd need to PM someone who has one and sort out some $$ for the privilege.

Otherwise you could get the Jap manual and use google translate to translate the pages you need.
