i've uprgaded to 2001 GU Patrol... very nice rig.

sold the L series just last week.

Just letting you all know that my 1988 L series sportswagon is up for sale so just check the classified section for more details.

yeh heads have been machined. old engine did the same smoke blowing trick and then that one actually blew a headgasket, so i got the top end done, and then the engine siezed due to other circumstances. long story, but anyway i bought an $80 engine and while i had it out the car i recond the top end,...

only other thing i can possibly think of is that when i installed the weber you have to blank off(remove) a little air pump that is located infront of dizzy and a pipe that comes from the crancase somewhere. if anyone can tell me what this did that could be some help. sorry its hard to explain what ...

yeh it is very cloudy white smoke. i just did the head gaskets on this engine so i'm not sure what it could be.

I have the weber carby on the ea82 and when i go 4wding it randomly blows heaps of smoke out the exhaust, continues for about 10 secs then stops. But it does not do this all the time. i originally thought it had something to do with the angles i had the car on, but then it did it when i was driving ...

Just checking to see what you guys think about driving on road with the the 'axle in' with a welded diff. I usually just drive to the 4wd destination then jump out and put the axle in place but i was wondering how far could you drive with it in on the road. do many of u do this, what are your though...

so for the front i should get 4wd KYB shocks and for the rear get 2wd KYB shockies? thanks for advice fellas. Alot better than what Pedders offered me.
cheers

did you just install the rears for any particular reason, or u gunna do the front ones soon? $85 seems to be a good price and you reckon get the 2wd shocks for more height, are they stiffer then the 4wd ones? can u notice the difference in the rear with your car?

My shockies on the L series have never been changed so i was just seeing what is available and what is standard price for parts and fitting. I have king springs installed already. Does upgrading shocks make any difference to clearance or the lift of the car? Everyone seems to get KYB shockies, how m...

In relation to the spark plugs what heat range do you recomend if i wish to go colder in grade. I have put the timing at 6 BTDC and still it diesels. At the moment i have Bosch Super 4 plugs, maybe they are getting too hot???

paul

I have a very good Hitachi carby and the manifold. That was on my car before i put the weber on it. Lots of time spent tuning it.

paul

My engine diesels nearly everytime i turn it off after a moderate drive. I have retarded the timing to 8degress past TDC still no change. apart from using premium fuel which helps the problem has anyone got an idea of what i can do to stop this from happening?

Thanks Paul

I've just done an engine swap, and put the weber carby onto the new engine but i cant remember how i set the timing on the old engine to stop the Pre ignition (dieseling). Any help would be great, i'm pretty sure its only a few degrees past or before TDC????

Cheers paul

trying to remove the rear drivers side axle for the first time, and it does not want to come off. is there a trick to getting it off easier. i will grind down the diff stubb once i get the axle off. Any tips would be great. thanks

Does the metal need to be heated before welding because it is high tensile?
Where abouts is the best place to weld the spider gears so they dont spin?

While it is running very rough the lights dont come on but of course come on when it finally stalls.

What is it, where is it and how do I experiment with the Air Bypass Controller?

thanks

When I come to a stop the engine starts to run very rough and erratic on say 3 cylinders, then 2 cylinders then stalls. It will restart but I need to keep the revs up high to keep it going, once moving again it will be fine for the rest of the day no matter how many times I come to a stop. Biggest p...

i'll place an order for 1 if there is any left please dave.

thnks

how is urs set up, can u describe it easily or does it need to be seen?
