Thank christ its over.So im happy and relieved. Oh got to thank everyone who helped and a encouraged me, and advised me, there have been times when i was stuck but there was usually someone here who could help.Unfortunately the car isnt fully restored and it shows in these pics, but the idea half way through the build was to complete it to the point of engineering and rego and here it is all engineered and regoed. Since half way through the build we/I was told, and most of us in Sydney heard the RTA (Roads and Traffic Authorities) will change the modification rules so i had to rap it up early. Has some primer etc on it but you get the general idea, it has potential to be a real nice looking Torana with some body work and paint which will come later.Since my camera went flat on me i couldnt get close ups and detailed picsHeres a little peak of the passenger side turbo, GT3071R with K&N filter and a -8 Speed flow fitting hanging down to drain the oil, the oil drains through this and sucked through by a gear type electric oil pump, into the sump, the other turbo shares the same line/pump. The pump is used for drainage as the turbo is below the line of the sump i.e. not gravity drained So im happy and relieved.

But im in the begining of making carbon fiber ones, just about to make a silicone mold of the flange area of the valve cover since this is the most important part to seal. The top of the cover (mold) will pretty much be free hand made of foam keeping in mind it will be semetrical to the other valve cover.
Wish me luck, im going to need it ]]> Bart 2009-04-20T05:41:34-08:00 Re: Barts 1973 LJ Torana VH41 Twin turbo project (Bart) http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=339889;postid=4682898#4682898 So where do the valve covers actually leak from iViLe 2009-04-20T03:22:45-08:00 Re: Barts 1973 LJ Torana VH41 Twin turbo project (SuperHatch) http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=339889;postid=4660739#4660739 Thanks OutoWinPAHC for the offer but unfortunaely what Superhatch said, BUMMER ]]> Bart 2009-04-12T18:56:37-08:00 Re: Barts 1973 LJ Torana VH41 Twin turbo project (Bart) http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=339889;postid=4659587#4659587 Not to burst your bubble, but I can tell just looking at those pictures that the VH41/VH45 covers are not the same.
