Pulled the motor today. Problem found...3 of 6 flywheel bolts had snapped in half. I guess that's what was making the clunking noise!

I would be questioning the amount of rev's the Pinto had before it broke.
Good luck with that one Juiceman.

Looks like your going out in sympathy. Is the brother helping you fix it? that might be his last drive if he hasn't helped out  Just remind him of the bullship crapola your going through now when he wants the keys next time.

Hahaha yeah he's helping me. He's letting me use his XR6 turrrbo ute to cart the motor over to the reconditioners tomorrow to have the snapped bolts pulled out and he helped me yank the motor yesterday and will help me put it back in. But still, he's not getting the keys anytime soon [88]

Haha yeah I'm already realising that, the bike broke yesterday on its first time out. It may or may not have something to do with the fact that I got stuck in some water.....hahaha. Anyways, this arrived today from SMCKA, and I'd just like to say that Stephen was an absolute pleasure to deal with, and the product looks like great quality, I highly recommend his company.

Yeah I decided to give it a crack myself, I figured the chances of me somehow screwing it up were pretty slim, and they came out no worries. Saved myself a very few pennies, sweet deal.

Finally got around to getting some new flywheel bolts this arvo, ARP ones...but I'm not sure if it'll be going back together just yet, I have something big in mind for the car and I haven't made up my mind whether I'm going to drive it as is for a little while or wait until I've gather all my secret bits and pieces for it. Chances are I'll drive it as is because I'm pretty sick of driving the NX that's for sure.

Well, stuff it, I can't be bothered trying to keep secrets haha...you guessed it Matt, efi and turbo is the plan. GT28RS to start with (will probably change the rear housing to maybe the same as the HKS GTRS once I get used to it), and 50mm side draught EFI hardware throttle bodies, like theeeese.  For management I'm grabbing a Microtech LT8S. Oh and I'll need a decomp plate, I don't really like them, but I have to do it haha. Anyways, watch this space I 'spose.

i don't think you'll need the throttle bodies if your using forced induction.. money would be better spend else where, have a manifold made up with a single throttle body or use the sierra one

Very good point...even the XF throttle body would be enough come to think of it.
