heres a photo of the ed at stock height
 ive recently noticed minor coolant useage in the ed, on sunday i pulled up outside my house and the car struggled to idle and was pumping steam/coolant out of the exhaust. took it to my brother inlaws work yesterday to be tested wich confirmed the head gasket. so today i stripped it down and for some reason my old man helped  while stripping it down i noticed the upper chain guide is broken ive been told it will be fine. got the head off and took it to just heads where i was told the following. its not the original head its fitted with a early eb head (still tickford) and someones shaved it down to minimum thickness  so pending the crack test tomorrow if all is well i will need to run a shim. the price isnt bad parents are paying for it i have to pay them back in fortnightly installments. machining, crack testing, gasket set, shim, hymolar spray and head bolts is around $360. so if the head is all good i pick it up and the parts on friday, my brother inlaw will come up sunday with the torque wrench and timing light and give me a hand to put it back together again.here are some pics  gasket went on No.1  chain guide  it all went pretty smoothly, the old fella isnt a bad apprentice

got the headgasket sorted out on saturday back to running like a dream
 all the bits  now over recent months ive been noticing the paint getting pretty bad in some areas so ive decided to do something about this depending on how many panels need respraying i may just spray it white as the colour it is now was a pain in the a** to spray and ive had some pretty good results with white in the past. ill keep you all posted on what happens with that anyway. so this afternoon i got excited and sanded the roof back and primed it.

Got abit planned for the xf.

Havnn't had it on a dyno to do a power run , but i'd estimate probably
around 210-230rwkw but its the turbo's torque that really gets you. Cheers for keeping an eye out for a donk. whats these plans for the xf?

Cheers for keeping an eye out for a donk. whats these plans for the xf? i could only imagine the torque it would have no worries just a case of finding one in a car so you can do a compression test etc.for the XF: install the cam and rollmaster timing chain thats sitting in my room Gilmer Drives been told you can get them for a 250 so ill be looking into that  manual or stalled/shift kitted c4 swap the 25 spline 2.92 single spinner for a 3.23 lsd out of a eb-ed eventually pull the head off bigger valves and port work. new wheels something abit wider and possibly a respray be slow going untill i find another job apprenticeships seeming unlikely
