Hey crazy, I have used Baldwin b2 filters on an old tractor at work. Maybe you could contact a machinery supply shop in your area to supply you with b2 filters. I might give them a go on my ute instead of the z9

Good choice. There are some really good big dollar oils like Rob mentioned that are the go if your have serious shit going on in your engine.
For an off the shelf oil in our crossflows i recommend HRP30 full mineral as choice 1 or HPR gas 20 full mineral choice 2
If you are running high ethanol mixes then go full sin racing 20. Racing 15 will be okay if your engine is really tight and has good oil pressure.
Do not use ANY additives in any of these oils, You don't need it. I mean it, extra Zinc (zddp) and teflon (ptfe) will do NO good after run in. These oils have sufficient zinc and molly (or boron?) levels and teflon don't do shit to help engines it just gets stuck in your filter.
The only additive i might use is Lucas oil stabilizer but only in old tired engines that actually need it.
 
I can talk for pages on why i choose these oils over other off the shelf oils but i wont.

There is a few different vacuum hoses from the manifold to the carb that can perish or fall off one end. If you leave the engine running and have a listen and feel around it won't take long to find the leak. The leak will be causing it to run like crap. Sometimes a bit of electrical tape wrapped around the hose can be a temporary fix until you can get the hose replaced. Good luck!

Hay well thanks for all the feedback been great as always......:-)
I went with Penrite 20w60 I hope I made the right choose.....
I spent ages at repco looking at all the different oils it was doing my head in I was just worried I spent lots of money n time on my crossy n don't want to kill her so thanks for all your info guys......

Whats the specs of the engine mate, Penrite is my brand of choice.

Great looking work there mate, seems like you are making big gains there! I bet it won't be long and your inbox will be full with guys chasing you to do performance work for their crossflows

Is there any chance that some of the odd head combos could have had something to do with crossflows that were in f100's? Just a thought, I'm only guessing

Much of a muchness, they do rattle around a lot less, but look a bit uglier
You will need an EB-ED handbrake cable to suit sedan if u use them brakes... or like me go pfftt!!! I stop with my feet not me hands!

Finally fixed the fuel leak on the weber today. I found the needle had marks on it so I replaced it with a new one and new seat. Haven't seen an all brass needle into an all brass seat before. I just put a standard rubber tipped needle back in with the new seat. Seems to run fine with no leaks!

Sorry beat me to the post

Missus sitting in the back?

Cheers fellas, yeah I shat myself and went for the fire extinguisher when I smelt the fuel this morning. I thought it might run rough if the needle had stuck but I've been wrong before will check it out after work tomorrow. Until then...... Lpg it is !!

Paint the fucker Kalari Kenworth Orange Steve, it will look awesome - LOL

In my xh I replaced the ashtray with one of those standard din trays (didn't take too much effort to fit) and I put the cigarette lighter in the console (commodore style I feel dirty for typing that)

Slydog, thanks for the reply mate. My mechanical pump will do me fine then. I just got the new diff to get better gearing. It's a 3.27 lsd from an ed to replace my 2.77 lsd behind my t5.

Thanks for all of the shared knowledge fellas, I think we can all learn something from everyone's different opinions. Don't be sorry for getting into technical info or going off the thread topic,
I'm only too happy to learn and hopefully someone else can get some good tips from the discussion also:)

Tranny fluid. Just like semen but comes out under a skirt.

Any hair dresser or barber shop. Usually round $20. My mrs does mine at home.

Thanks for the input, a bloke said to me that he used tq95 auto trans fluid in his. Anyone else used it? I think its a Castrol oil.
