Re: Red Rattler Revamp

Hi Blacky, what is your current thinking about the coolant issue? I have been mulling it over and reckon there must just be no movement of coolant. A fellow like you would have checked that head gasket holes were all aligned with block and head, so that isnt it. It sounds like pump is not circulatin...

Re: Leroy the EK Ute

Hi Joe. Just spent a few hours reading through Leroy's journey, as I saw the recent posts and realised I had not followed this build through. What a great story it was. You have a gift with words that made it a real pleasure to read. Lot's of great engine and technical info in there too, and of cour...

Re: Chev EK
