Outer Limits 4x4 Board

so my speedo stopped working just in time for my rego inspection, I tracked down the problem and the speedo cable has broken. Mr repco man says he cant find one and go genuine. Has anyone found a good source for a speedo cable? I just find it really hard to hand over the bucks for genuine parts ...

go the emergency cap from a servo!

they fit nice and snug, look god cause theyre black, and cost 8 bucks so you can afford a spare when some bastard takes yours...

my sierra always leaked from the drain hoses that run back the heater box to the firewall. they always uses to pop off, and even when they were on they would leak. some hoses clamps fixed it up fine.

thanks for that ill try using the aerostart. If i put extractors on after getting the jetting right wont that change the setup a bit?

oh also i purchased this carby already reconditioned, and jetted to suit the sierra, so it should be ready to go!

I have gone down the path of the weber dgav 32/36 install on a stock 1.3L sierra (96). This was done cause the old carby needed a rebuild and thought it was a good time for an upgrade.

after looking into costs of engine conversion i think i'll stick with fixing original motor. is there any good way of checking blocks/pistons/head/head gasket for cracks or is this a job for the engine shop? i had a really good look but i know they may be too small to see.

thanks again

thanks heaps for the replies.

i sent the head to get pressure tested but spoke to a mechanic and was told that oil in radiator would normally indicate a cracked block...

so a new engine will be in order me thinks. seriously considering the gti conversion, would be a good opportunity to do it!

hey guys, ive searched through all head gasket topics but couldn't find this one... i bought a 96 leafy with 90k on the clock a few weeks back, engine had been cooked, im looking to fix it up. there is a large amount of oil in the radiator, an equally large amount of water in the sump, and a thick ...
