Also just noticed there's no timing belt guide...will this matter?

I'll have a new product out in 4-5 weeks, keep an eye open for it

In the meantime, here is a nice stack of strut top spacers

OK, I'll order it tomorrow.

What about using RTV sealant for the sump?

Nah, it's not leaking and the parts guy said he's hardly ever had to get one so I didn't bother. What inspection plate is that? The oil separation plate on the back of the engine? Mine is plastic but looks in good condition so I didn't bother with that either. This is how I held the cam sprocket in ...

I've already got the rear main seal, and the rocker cover gaskets, as well as the bolt seals. Also the oil pump seal. I might do the oil filler neck seal as well, but the PS pump seal should be fine as that's my current one & has no leaks. I asked at the dealership about the sump but he said there's...

The severe cold we've been getting has probabbly been shrinking it on. I soake...

Very nice! Did you do the lettering?

Yep

Thats what I thought too but then I looked at Mum's Jazz, it does 2200rpm at 100kph & its only a little 1.5L.

With the bigger muddies on mine does 2800rpm at 100kph (GPS) & I got a bit over 8L/100km on the freeway even though those are really heavy

It does just under 3000rpm at 100kph with stock tyres. I'd like it to be about 2500rpm...

Awesome effort, I bet you're so glad to have her going again! :cool: Nice job on the oil feeders. I've been speaking to a few people who don't have them yet & their LR is already worn. On a built gearbox I would say they're essential. But yours is the 1st AFAIK to have that pipe feeding it directly ...

Great that Ruby Scoo is getting closer to being back on the tracks

Part of the reason for the swap was watching how much low down torque you had pushing you up steep hills despite a heeeaaavy load :p The EJ22 with timing cover off: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/550/18382730124_8af4a77b8a_c.jpg Removing the crank bolt was easy, the crank pulley took some wiggling to...

Nice pics Pedro, sorry its taken me so long to say anything, been way too busy lately lol. Did everyone notice the ice buildup on the branches in the pic of the Blue Rag Range summit? A good 1cm of ice on the leading edge, deposited by a combination of fog, cold temp & icy Southern gale. The wind ch...

Are you sure you have the right wires from the high beam? Its negatively switched remember so current goes from common power through light to separate high/low beam earths. You have to run 85 on the relay from the high beam wire (earthed remember); 86 to your dash switch to ignition; 30 to a fuse fr...

Haha, yeah both stock

Both looking good but that hatch...

You earth it to a good earth point on the chassis. You'll see a heap of them around the engine bay, just undo one, clean it up a bit and add your own.

low beam is yellow/red is
High beam is red/black (RHS) & red (LHS)
common power is blue/white (RHS) & red/ble (LHS)

Remember the high & low beam wires are earth wires & the common wire is battery

Interesting, a tricky one to narrow down as I was the same as others thinking it was a pedal switch
