That made me laugh so bad "A final check is for banana skins lol. A dead give away it has been doctored." so funny :lol: looks like I have few things to do this weekend I've been looking forward to getting back to work on this car! Also I noticed in the parts list will the thrust bearing fit the clutch fork?

This is the clutch fork link https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/26096248806 ... SwymxVObAB I guess it will suit the thrust bearing like it said it's a kit I recon your right. Just wanted to be 100% sure before spending $200 on a fork.

I've ordered all the parts just got to wait for them to arrive. I just had a thought before I put the engine in, anyone know if there is any rubbers between the k-frame and chassis rails? (VK Commodore) from reading most say no rubbers :think:

Hi Guy's :D

Got the box hooked up and took a few photo's of the gearbox input shaft and the crank. The input shaft sits in side the crank hole. Is this looking right?

Another thing I needed to sort out, what goes in the empty hole in the inlet manifold?
