Thankyou so much rob for that information I think you have totally nailed this on the head, also since I had the car and owner before both used 5w 40 fully syth oil maybe I was thinking there shouldn't be any play at between the piston and the bore seems to be up and down that's when we checked it when pistons were at top of bore, pistons and rings in there are only about 8 months old, plus bore been honed etc etc when it got done 8 months ago

Hopefully someone who knows these engines inside out will know 👍

Yes Azz just stock ct9 got mods on too like uprated walbro pump sard fpr fmic things like that I thought a td04 was good for 240bhp around that area

Please bear with me here as hope this makes sense.....took my head of today due to knowing by research I need to change the valve stem seals (bearing in mind before I go on my starlet had a full engine rebuild with receipts which I have less then a year ago) a week a go a compression test was done all about the same in the last 150's so that's fine, anyway back to, today, head off then we looked at the pistons just to see while the head is off, when we rotated the crank pulley so 2 pistons were at the top there was alittle play in both pistons 2 and 3 and also same with 1 and 4 when they were

Azz mate I got a print out here running 0.7bar @ 195.7 Bhp had it done last month but maybe you could enlighten me on more thanks mate

I will so thanks mate spoke to id-workz yesterday so in the process of sorting one thanks mate

Still a good price even if it did need a rebuild from liam_D 👍

I thought you had to go thicker for more boost Adam? Now this is getting confusing

Thankyou for the reply guys yes I will be sticking to this and if and I say IF I went bigger turbo etc I would know to change the head gasket but thankyou for saying now can just get a normal one Pat

Surely a uprated FPR would help aswell hence why I put one on mine

Have mentioned this before due to the valve stem seals need changing I'm of course doing all the gaskets as you do and Cambelt/water pump and so on, My question is with the head gasket running around 200bhp @ 0.7 bar now my new turbos back and ready to go on plus have an hks actuator aswell to put on will probably put it to 0.8 bar running around 210bhp maybe? Was just wondering will a normal 4efte head gasket cope with it? Heard they can handle up too 1.2 bar on a td04 I'm never gonna be running no more then 1bar on mine anyway and only have a ct9 don't wanna spend unnesserary money if I don'

Thanks mate 👍

Thankyou for the reply mate will do 👍

+1 good idea 👍

Hello dusty silly question which people am I asking on here 😄

That's a good point dusty thankyou just having trouble finding a good head gasket kit just need to change the valve stem seals but of course will have to do the whole top end as you know just can't find anywhere online that does just top end

Just alittle advice when I get mine back please what's the best way to get the the oil in the fmic and pipes out and anywhere else it should be sitting?

Anyone? 😁

Hello everyone, I was just wondering has anyone (link below) Used this head gasket kit before on there car and if yes did it last etc etc, or is the parts any good as need to get just a top end gasket kit. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301035876176?nav=SEARCH Thankyou Pat

As long as there blue shorty and of course no splits etc please pm me

Thankyou idrees that's what I'm looking for will be ordering it in the next week thanks again Pat

As above guys looking for a genuine full or top end gasket kit before I go and purchase a kit, even though my car had a full engine rebuild a year ago from the previous owner I'm just unsure about a few things and for peace of mind with one of my best mates who's a specialist and rebuilt many jap engine cars we wanna have a good nose inside and then of course put it back together with new OEM gaskets...... Or maybe there is another way to tell without doing this like a leakdown test think they call it? What do any of you reckon. Thanks Pat

Thankyou azz mate for the reply I will get on it Pat
