Temperature sensors I am guessing....
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Yeah temp sensors go in them on the engine dyno... the next part of the puzzle is the common plenum air box and cold air intake... looks like the dyno day is happening on the 7th fingers crossed it might be back in for all Holden day

I hope its, you pulled it down and not the dyno chewing it up !!!!

The red engine has its limits, the big one is hard revs where the crank will pull on the mains and split the bores horizontally.

Try and keep the revs down if you can.
