So am in the process of reassembling the new water pump and lower temp thermostat but wasn't sure whether to install a Dorman cam syncro I acquired.

Bought it more for the sensor locator but given it's a non-genuine part I'm not sure whether to use it or not.

Any of you blue oval boys know whether the Dorman is a cheaper knock off version of the standard part or just as good?

If I can link it too, I'll post a seperate thread from my V8 drive experience at Sandown this morning, that was a buzz, and good practice.

Encouraged by the drive coach's comments too about picking up pretty quickly as this is the first time I've every driven any sort of car on a race track. But then I have watched a million hours of V8's over the years.

Peaked over 200kph on the main straight though as I got into it but 6 laps just aint enough.

The three lap passenger run confirmed how slow I really was though and an eye opener rush. The slicks were starting to be tested on that drive.

Am told they are doing a Phillip Island experience in September, that might be one to consider.

Still if I get my car going I can do it myself.

Cheers
