This sounds good. My self will only be able to get to Robe if i can get time off work.

Whats Ive Notice is that the black rocker cover EA81's have the wider stud pattern and the blue Have the narower stud pattern. Most adapter plates will fit both.

Hi there all. I have a friend that has a clean looking EA81 wagon up for grabs. He originally tried selling it to me but I have too many vehicles already:D It,s been a few months since I have seen it but it looked very good for it's age. If I remember correctly it was built in 84, has a factory A/C,...

How long did you run it for, I have a EA81 with black rocker covers and hydraulic lifters. I had a big ticking noise after doing the head gaskets, all it was was air in the lifters, Noise disapeared after 15-20 mins. You have to be very careful not to get any junk down the pushrod bores. Try setting...

Too true. Had a mate's engine at 12500rpm while stationary.

Untill you hear the valves hit the pistons.
Good mechanical motor should handle 6500rpm easy.

I am selling this wagon for my old man.
It has a fresh engine and new clutch and is good mechanicaly.
Interior is in good condition and clean, Small bit of rust in the usual areas.
4x4 hi range only.

The theeth are more than worn unevenly, They are missing.
I'll see what I can modify to mack it better.

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff219/bboypebs/gear2.jpg Ok the four speed has a simple straight cut gear which slides between two gears. So there is no slector hub or throw distance issues. And as far as I can tell by diagrams the five speed has the same setup so I might still inherit the same ...

Thought of a Five speed conversion but wouldn't never use top gear.
The five and four speed pinion sharfts are not interchangable.
What I do have in mind is get a wider reverse gear made up.

Took a bit of cutting and shutting to make them fit and a two inch lift blocks.
No slop in the box, I actualy sheared the teeth off the gear it self. So not a good situation.

Hi there all. Having a few issues with keeping reverse gear together in the standard EA81 gearboxes. So I am running 29" tires. Currently I have destroyed two boxes in the process of getting bogged. So what have others done to with their lifted EA81 vehicles and gearboxes and how good/ bad are the E...

If only it wasn't so far away, I would take it

Hi there, I should be there late friday night or early saturday morning.
Depending on what time I get off from work.

Good news, box split. I had a spare internals from a 84 box. So a bit or retro fitting and I shall be cruising again soon.

Hey Bennie.
Won't be able to make it to robe because of how busy it is going to be at work.
cheers

Hi there. Had the same issue. The treads were worn.
Fixed it by recoiling the threads and new studs with strong loctite.

I am very keen.
I will have to get my but into gear and do that gear box.

Seen this problem before. A wax depsoit from the standard desiel will still remain in the filters and will turn thick in cold weather.

when you try to find car parks that you can drive out forward because you can not find reverse.
