Have done before. It's still a bastard of a job but slightly less bastardy with no timing covers.

Because it takes a friggin long time just to take them off to access the pump...

And here you can see that Castrol Edge 10W30 is thinner in all respects than Castrol Edge 5W30. Copied from the PDF: Edge 10W30 Viscosity, Kinematic 100C ASTM D445 mm²/s 10.47 Viscosity, Kinematic 40C ASTM D445 mm²/s 66.2 Edge 5W30 KV @ 100°C 12.0 KV @ 40°C 71.8 http://members.iinet.net.au/~kakarot2...

Some examples: Shell Helix Ultra 5W30 vs 5W40 I've attached the links to the PDFs so you can see for yourselves. I'll post the basic specs here too: http://members.iinet.net.au/~kakarot2@adam.com.au/Shell_Helix_Ultra_5W-30_(SL_CF_A3_B4)_(en)_TDS.pdf http://members.iinet.net.au/~kakarot2@adam.com.au/...

Ok here's some oil viscosity FAQ and my answers that can hopefully clear up viscosity questions about oil (even though this site is slowing down quite a lot). Also, I've been given some totally bullsh*t answers from people here in the past so I'm going provide some reasons why they're wrong. TLDR Ve...

Cool, so there's nothing tricky or any negatives about using the 2417 over the 2415?

Btw, would love to see some vids of your car running!

Haha I do have that thread by zydawn open in another window just realised you actually posted in it too :oops: I saw that he used SPF 2417K but you also had SPF 2415K. Is the 2415 just a standard option and the 2417 that double offset thing? Not sure I need double offset. Btw very jealous of your ga...

Love the dedication to your beast! Do you have the super pro part numbers for all the bushings you used? How do you rate the ride quality improvement after doing all of those bushings?

Nice car. Love the colour. Your mods and issues are so similar to mine - KL31 cammed ZE Curve neck IM Relocated the coolant overflow same Similar CAI setup I also have an innovate wideband - my clutch slave has screwed me over too. Actually a few times now and I just pray for less traffic and rev ma...

When I drive my KLZE MX-3 up a hill and at speed (80kmph+) I will get a disgusting smell of what smells like exhaust fumes. This happens even with the air vents completely off. I don't think have an exhaust leak but reading on probetalk, they mention boot vents and how they get stuck open and draft ...

Distributor could be the issue or badly grounded HEI mod if you've done that.

Coolant temp sensor can also cause a bog and miss if that's faulty but you've checked codes so it probably isn't that.

What ECU and VAF are you running? The wrong ECU and VAF combo will cause similar issues also.

Regardless of ZE or DE; just use a strong little flashlight and look down the oil fill cap hole. If it's sludged, don't buy. If it's very light gold or silver, go for it!

You might need to play with the throttle cable's mounting bracket near the throttle body. I had a problem when I went to curve neck manifold on my ZE where the cable was a bit loose. It idled too high and sort of drove itself, with bad throttle response too because of the looseness. I literally angl...

I'm friends with Stoker100. We bypassed the knock sensor on my car with a resistor and I've been reaping the rewards for years. http://mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=79912&p=626263&hilit=knock+sensor+resistor#p626263 And yes removing the IM and all that coolant piping for a bulls--...

Indeed, the thought of no more KLZE was really depressing!
