Days work

[Alex]

Looks good, i hope your changing them taped up hoses with new ones

mine had the gaffa tape treatment, once i had fitted new ones, came to £30-£40 for all off them the car drove loads better at lower revs, and the idle was a little better too, was spot on to start with to be honest

[Daverave]

Yer i bought all new hoses and forgot to ask for all new air hoses
the circled bit is the bit that has come off somehow.
Can i get a new one ? Drill it out and get a bit of pipe and weld it in there?

[Daverave]

The rust in my batery tray should i just primer and spray with satin black in there( got 2 tins of it) or do i need some special paint

[Alex]

i white hammerited mine, good colour match too

[Daverave]

ok.Does it have to be high temp coz its near the enigne

Sorry?

[Alex]

The Url for the images has the reg H17AES, I'am 99% sure this is ArmaniB's reg

[Alex]

Armanib's Avator url also leads to the same photobucket account

[Daverave]

Thanks sherlock.

[Banjo1981]

Yeah, I also recognise the diction and generally poor english as armarnib's trademark.

As for the broken off pipe I think you may want to take it to a proper machineshop to sort out as I'm pretty sure nothing should corrode off a cylinder head.

[Rav335uk]

Cilit BANG!

Thankyou for once

[bss325i]

Its not limescale, its the alloy starting to corrode.

A wire brush and some WD40 will get it off.

[Daverave]

Once i get it off is there some sort of laquer or protection i can use to stop it coming back?
Or will the engine running be enough
Gonna have to get my masonry drill and wire brush drill bit out tomorrow then

[HairyScreech]

as bss325i said, its corroding alu, if your intending to paint it then use a good high temp paint ment for alu and it wont be back.

and for once he was only asking for some help and not being a twat, so i think some slack is due here.

as for the corroded bit on the head it could be due to a combination of factors, either poor coolant mix, or galvanic corrosion.

[magpie]

good to see some work being done and the bull-shit on hold.
