russ78 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) been a long time since I last done an update as my glanza's been off the road due to a overheating problem which turned out to be a couple of things first was ARP headbolts wernt up to the job as they were not torqueing down to the recommended spec without stretching and in the case of 2 bolts actually snapping in half before reaching the spec!! so threw them away and got some oem bolts which I have to say was the best decision I made during the whole build, also had my spare head rebuilt at the same time valves reseated, new stem seals, pressure tested etc etc and a brand new Athena 1.2 headgasket and then all back together oh and also a new water pump gasket, as id got paranoid about it so wanted to eliminate that as a problem once all back together still was mildly overheating so scratched my head for a fair few days then It dawned on me that the rad fan polarity was round the wrong way have to say a massive thanks to jayc-glanza17 who spent so many hours with me taking bits off and replacing with new but we got there eventually so I thought it was time to treat the glanza to a makeover and purchased some livesports sideskirts and I already have my jam rear so this will keep me busy over the winter these turned up in the post this morning already have this to be fitted Edited October 15, 2013 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
