Good to hear some endorsement, but I would never use Hylomar on a new gasket. Whilst it may not do harm – it’s just a waste. And it may be difficult to “break” on next head removal. (Ever had to hack-saw a head off the block? Admittedly that was on a Toyota 4WD that had been using bore-water as cool...

SOHC head gasket in DOHC
Now don't take my advice as gospel - this info is from over 10 years ago.... I'm certain that DOHC owners used to add an extra hole to SOHC head gaskets, but I don't know if anything else was needed. Most head gaskets have some sort of reinforcing around holes. This may be to seal the gasket to prev...

I note the '...get a (copper maybe) head gasket made...'. Am out of touch? What makes copper gaskets useable, or isn't it pure copper? I was looking at a Cu head gasket for my old Belletts so I could re-use them, but once I moved to the newer alloy head, that was not an option. (Okay for cast iron b...

Support Terrorism - give echelon hell! Reminds me of another Forum I visited recently (video editing software). It seems users and owners are complaning about how hard it is to FIND info. I can't understand why - just 'cos there is no search function and there are only some 150 summary pages that yo...

Thanks Nick! I really appreciate the email-pics offer, but Poida sent me the pic-posting instructions. Too easy – for the 2nd picture anyhow! I have thus posted the cam-idler “cotton-reel” pics on viewtopic 788 (ie http://poida.completelyfreehosting.com/twincam/viewtopic.php?p=788 - not 88 as mistyp...

Two months later.... Thanks Nick for the confirmation.... So is Chris publishing that Piazza book? Did he get scared off by threatened law suits (and convinced that the GMH or I-GM info on 200/400 imports etc was crap)? Chris warned me that you can never get a manual gearbox back in a Piazza. Wow - ...

Isuzu DOHC parts interchangeability(Lotus, Ford)
Sorry for the delay archangel62 - I wasn't emailed - or was it due to my multiple Windoze crashes? WARNING - get XP-SP2+ (W2k-SP4+) roll-ups if you use big disks (ie - greater than about 130GB)!!! I have a 2L DOHC which had (allegedly) $9,000 spent on it by some "expert" in Dandenong (Vic)...

Oh forgot (sht!).... I'm also after front-mounting G180/G200 SOHC or DOHC engine mounts - preferably 45 degrees and can swap for any of the other DOHC mounts that I have. The original-post photos show LHS mounted starters - eg - Bellett, Wasp, Florian, ZZR etc. I will swap Gemini-type RHS-starter st...

DOHC design
The Isuzu DOHC is a totally Isuzu design. I has once heard that Isuzu had Alfa start the design and that Lotus finished it, but this is wrong. (When has Lotus ever built an engine etc?!) The Isuzu designer is alive and well. Whether Isuzu based their design on Cortina etc (like Bellet and the G-seri...

DOHC starters
I've run DOHC starters on Belletts, Wasps & Florians. I'm currently running a RHS Gemini (arghh - Gemini parts - yech!!) starter in my Wasp - the solenoid merely points horizonally left instead of upwards. I have a 4ZE1 reduction started (RHS) which I'm about to try. From what I can see, they al...
