Ditto:rolleyes:

Hi, my 20c worth is the possibility that it could be an imported motor c. 1980on. I bought a Jap one for my daughter's Sigma and most bolt-on stuff was different

Hi, following this with interest. Having owned many pre-hated cars the suggestion which seems best to me was the one about a sticking piston. This has happened to me on early holdens; it indicates a worn cylinder sleeve, the piston chatters and eventually grabs. My quick solution was several light t...

:)Interesting concept , but who decides who is an idiot deserving of euthanasia? The only smart people on this site are myself and Toonga, but I sometimes have doubts about him:twisted:

This is getting curiouser and curiouser, I forgot to mention that my speedo reads slow; 55kmh reading is a true 60. I would assume that the speedo drive cog is from a 3.9 or 4.11 diff instead of 3.7

Now I'm confusilated. Distance travelled 274ks divide by 30.17 L =9.08. k's/l. Multiply 9.08 by 2.82(A constant used back in the dark ages; read 70's; when we were all trying to understand metric)= 25.6mpg. I tried your method but my head hurt. See if your way agrees. And as was pointed out on the f...

(Only the true God deserves capital letters.) Did as suggested and re-read the original post. Rebuilder said that he was convinced that the fault was in the gearbox. Recall an old saying: " a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still ". Ho hum; time for my morning nap:p

Forgot to mention; as mentioned in the whirring gearbox thread, my brain reached maturity 40 years ago. Perhaps a valium before you left home would improve economy. ;)Seriously though, yes, it is a one-off test,but a long time will pass before the next tankfull. I had a feeling it was too good. It i...

Hi; my 89 L EA82 Carb motor has returned 9l/100k (25.4mpg) all town running none above 70k. Is this good, bad or ugly?

Touche!

Anyone seen that movie "anger management" ?

I can't get as emotional as you guys; but what if a thrust bearing retaining clip has come adrift resulting in distortion of the thrust bearing when clutch is engaged, creating a rattle or whirr, but being stopped by pressure on the thrust bearing when clutch pedal is pushed in?

Trawling through suspension postings I came across this old post. The only suggestion I can offer is that the lower control arms or their attachment point on the chassis is different for respective models. Early mazda 626's had a three position strut altering camber and castor, but these are two pos...

How many litres of space in the trunk?:p

My VY HBD is AAA-14U. My company was AAA Kerbing.

Posted Toonga's Grammar Nazi parody to my email acquaintances;
it's an overnight sensation.

I too, was once a grammar nazi. Once I received text messages I realized that to the younger generation punctuation is as relevant as superannuation. If you can read text messages then anything is comprehensible. However, Suparoo's explanation of the extra crankcase vent on the EFI engine is probabl...

Sad to say the L series Subelec is on ebay; but in it's original form. The forklift motor is going into my Kei grey import 88 dyna 150. Am I really jumping ship? Time will tell.

This old fossil not know " WSM" . Pauline Hanson?:rolleyes:

After the grammar police fining Toonga, that should read " hot air":rolleyes:
