Hey Dave. You spent time in Aust? I'm surprised that the Holden Vs Ford rivalry is known outside of Australia.
I'm a Holden lover from way back. :-D

My wife and I spent 4 weeks in Australia in 2008. Melbourne, Sydney, and Brissy. Loved it, wished we could have stayed and can't wait to get back some day.
Hey, Hendo. Those engine parts look far too booful to bury in the bowels of an engine room....
On the car front, as non-native I have to say I have never been a Holden fan, but have a soft sot for Ford, but only because my first car was a 105E Anglia. Had an XD Fairmont Ghia in NZ for a time. Quite liked the shape, but quality wise....rubbish. Both Commodores and Falcons are now, finally world class cars, but I'm sick of this Ford Holden thing, and really glad Nissan and Mercedes are going to be in the V 8 supercar race category this year. I really missed the Godzilla.
Awww Aussie made ain't that bad, except for our movies. They're really Sh*t so avoid watching them haha
Movies??..u make movies??...aussie stuff is mostly good!! Grrr u got sumtin tu say about that?/
Honestly everything i have owned made downunder has been of high quality....however.....I aint drank no good wusky made down there, i gotta satisfy me thisrt with that Kentucky or Scotch stuff.....
Hendo,interesting you had the h/exchanger and oil coolers rebuilt. It might depend how bad they are, I was advised to replace mine on FL120s, brought in new cu-ni ones ($500 and $150 respectively) from USA, cheaper than getting them made here. The heat exchanger was beyond repair,and I renewed the oil coolers as recommended at 2000hr.What did you spend on rebuilds?
Hendo,
Just love the cooler rebuild!
Sure wish I could get mechanical work like that done here.
Unfortunately, it would cost as much as I paid for the whole boat and I am not sure I would trust most of the flunkies around here to do it right.
They looks So good that now you will have to do the rest of the engine like this.
Well that's where you're going wrong mate. Rum .... It's all about the Rum..... Get some Bundy Rum made here in Aust. and kick that whiskey

There were whiskeys made here, until recently their best use was drain cleaning. Now there are traditional whiskies being made in cool climate Tasmania, I have no doubt they will, in time, be as successful as our wine makers,turning out high quality products .
I like your style Hendo. Full speed ahead and no looking back! This is perhaps my favorite thread on the forum.
Way to go! This is the definition of 'shade tree mechanic' (without the shade).
Ok well I've had two posts removed tonight due to a hypersensitive, hypocritical and prissy member. Apparently it's ok to give but not to take in his book.
I'm gonna bugger off for a while as I'm pissed off about this.
Thanks to those of you that helped me and I wish you well with your projects
If you want to know how the "AXE" is going, message Art. He has my email.
Cheers
