JR has said to stick some pictures up of my nova now its rebuilt again so here we go.

Right went to brunters for the nova trash and this happened before i got chance to do any timed runs:

So it was make or break and i decided to throw somemore cash at it and this is what it got:

HKS head gasket:

Cage:

Aim dash:

Hydraulic clutch setup:

Nortech exhaust manifold:

SBS engine build with a neil roper ported and polished head fitted with +1mm valves, double valve springs and solid lifters:

Finished bay:

And a quick video:

Well we have arrived at the conclusion that the box is probably fine and its just the twin plate clutch setup that i run thats causing the bad noises.

Its more like a switch than a clutch though!
Box has got to come off though as i think the oil seal for the crank is leaking.

Nar oil pump was fine but i sold that with the old block as it had a girdle on it and was earier to leave fitted.

It was caused by det but we did not see enough det while mapping it to cause that much damage so we think it was damaged during the initial mapping that someone else did and the 2.2 bar boost we were pumping through it saw it off....
