A mate of mine had a fully worked 186 in his HR holden and he said it used to ping a lot on fuel unless it was 98 octane and I don't want to be added fluids each time I fill up

Cool well I will talk to a engine reconditioner about hardened valve seats when I get the cyclinders bored larger as well.

Thanks fellas.

By the way does anyone know a good engine reconditioner in brisbane? Was just going to jump on yellow pages but had a thought that some might be better then others.

I'm restoring an old '64 falcon that has the original 170 cci motor in it and was wanting to know how to go about converting the old motor to unleaded fuel.

I'm pretty sure I need a new alloy head for unleaded fuel. Is this correct? If this is the case are there pre-cross flow heads available or would I have to change it to a cross flow head?

Do I have any other options then replacing the head if I can't keep the motor pre-cross flow?

Any advice is welcome

Cheers

Tom.

G'day, I'm looking for some advice for removing the exterior chrome trim on a '64 xm falcon. Does anyone have some experience with this or know if the trim along the doors and body were held in place with clips or possibly glued on?

I'm looking at stripping the car down so i can get it resprayed and don't want to damage the trim.

Any info would be appreciated

Tom
