head coming off again

[Michael]

thanks for checking ricster, luckily I have a neighbor that works for Denel and he phoned me last night with good news. He got me some Stainless shim stock 0.08mm FOC so will probably get it from him this after noon.

[ricster]

excellent !! ... Just make sure that the sleeves are not protruding more than 0.01mm if you use that 0.08 shimstock. The max tolerance is 0.09mm

thanks ricster, yes my block is skimmed completely flat so it should work

[Andre Steyn]

Michael, how does she manage those prices jo! With that its possible to buy oe instead of pongkong. But tell me are the pistons on the turbo model vin?

[Andre Steyn]

Cedric do you only have the extra set of rings or 2 pistons as well?

[Michael]

My aunt works at Nissan Rosslyn and gets it on her staff account

Unfortunately the pistons are the ones for the NA engine, just put the prices out there if anyone else would be interested.

[ricster]

Andre, the pistons were bought separately or per piston and not in a set of 4 or 6, so i don't have any spare pistons. The rings I have are from Japan.... so quite pleased that they aren't phongkong specials....haha. From what I've read Riken are a good brand

[Andre Steyn]

Ah ha nogal thought thats why she could manage such awesome prices. Cedric RIk rings are amongst the top,good stuff hey! Michael if I were interested how would something like that work?

[Michael]

Andre, if you were interested in anything you will have to pay me in advance because I will have to pay her before the order can be placed.
Once I have done the payment to het it takes about 3 - 5 days for me to get the parts.
