Tried Brett and Gary I've tried before and still waiting for replay over 6 months later...... Guess he don't like the colour of my money?

Nothing to do with s/c. changed all internals in gearbox and still there but so many pressure points inside the casting itself as its a pressure problem....

Over 2k in the box and same.... Not happy boy!!

Sure an admin in another section banned one of the most knowledgeable/experienced contributors for calling a dhead a dhead....until he offered said dhead an apology.
Needless to say he's still banned...and the dhead is still a dhead.

What goes on with some admin's heads around here really is baffling.


But back on topic.

If the rebuild was done by a competent person.....and the problem is still there ( whatever this problem may be ) Why would you think another box might fix the mystery problem ? and that it may not be elsewhere ?

Yep, which is why there was a suggestion that a complete set of stall, trans, TCU and flexi might help. But some knob deleted my post.

No email, no contact at all just a wky jerk off from an anonymous mod-ker.

Still no idea who it was or what excactly was wrong. Except a canned generic message that it was an advertisement. Strange, as no contact details, no price was given etc. Other than I had one.

But also trans coolant lines might need checking for flow, blockage etc. Filters, pump, lockup clutch etc...

Given my last exit was for irrational mod activity, Im thinking I will remove myself again and suggest that Facebook and vxronline are better places to post given the anti owner/anti help/anti social attitude from this board.

Zero point posting anything here.

I agree, let's all just use vxronline as the place to go.

Just a thought but did you check the oil galleries faces for true.
Any warping caused by the extra heat generated by the supercharger could easily result in the pressure loss symptoms you are suffering.

Blimey, I thought I was on a thread from a few years ago. So many names from long ago wink

To be fair, the posting of effectively wanted ads and the associated 'I have' responses has always been something that the mods do something about. Maybe some / lots get missed, but it shouldn't be something to get too upset about. Keep calm and carry on?

This forum attracts more new HSV/Monaro users than any other and I see that there's good work to be done contributing, so don't give up.

PS I tried the FaceTube thingy and didn't like the look of it. This format is much better IMHO.

yes /\ /\ /\ that!

It's ok, but mostly consisting of pictures of wheels, bonnets, front ends and side shots. There is not so much 'usefulness' on Faceache.
