Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Mini hijack! Pissin in the wind here, but anyone know of an LSE chassis available, might have to give a couple of LR wreckers a buzzle!

G`day , you may want to look at one first .

They are not as would be expected specially made for the length , well they are specially made but by cutting ...

G`day , yep that`s the one .

Actually the guy in Poland told me he had someone that was going to try it with Airod , i guess you ?

If i find a cheap coverter i`ll still try it one day as i like the way it works , i`ve not long bought a new Impco converter , if i`d see this then i`d have one .

The ...

G`day ,
i was going to try one untill i found it needs a complex , positve converter , our RRs have impco stuff and i wasn`t going to buy converters as well .

When i find it again i`ll link to a basic manual on them , that i found .

Cheers .

G`day ,

Up till 86 and maybe later ( don`t know and haven`t looked ).

The first part of the number the 355 says its right hand drive , the front and rear of the same vehicle will start 355 .

The rest of the number is probably like the vin and a build number which could i`d think trace the year ...

G`day , could be that

if it`s spitting the 6ltrs from cold as in it happens shortly after starting , it`s telling you you have an air lock .

An air pocket is getting hot the coolant is turning to steam/vapour and because of this very hot pocket is spitting the coolant , you can probably hear odd ...

G`day David

You`ll find on the right side of the 3.5 at the rear of the block in the valley a pipe for the crankcase vent system that the 3.9 system doesn`t use .

It just needs to be blocked or tapped/pulled out and the hole plugged or similar .

Some of the bolts in the fronts of the heads on ...

G`day Oil leaks ,

the difference in the two is that the 3.9 has a longer keyway and key on/in the crank nose .

Unlike the 4.0 and 4.6 the 3.9 crank nose is the same length as the 3.5 .

The 3.9 crank can be fitted to the 3.5 to fit the serpy cover or the keyway can be lengthened on the 3.5 crank ...

G`day shakes ,

if you mean what yr car the engine came from , yes if i have the right ones , don`t havem all .

Cheers

EA is 88 and should have LT230 .

Interior will have thick wood door tops ( if high line/vogue type ) .

89 FA has thin wood door trim .

19D is 9.35:1 comp ratio from carb car

88 should have 8.13:1

Not original engine .

G`day for 89/90 RR ( or any ) the vin and engine prefix tell .

Vin FA is 89 3.5 and GA ( can be 89 build ) is 3.9 .

FA has exposed hinges ( frt doors ) GA has hdden hinges .

Both are viscos std also FA 88 build is viscos .

The years give an idea the Vin tells what it is/was factory .

If you put ...

The gasket choice is relevant because it can have bearing on lifter pre load because of the different thicknesses.

The base of the lifter is relevant because it can have bearing on lifter preload because if the lifter base is flat or concave the distance is greater .


Lifter preload is the ...

G`day oops

you can check the base surface of the lifters by putting a straight edge across , hold up to the light , the straight edge should touch in the middle and you should see light on both outside edges .

There should be no cracks in the rocker arms anywhere .

There may be a wear mark in the ...

G`day oops

If it`s one of the centre 4 you may have a show , if the end ones there`s not much room , and it will depend what position/height the lifter beside is.

If your lucky it will still be sitting upright and just out of its hole .

If you can see it at all your in with a chance .

If you ...

Sorry mate ,

if i wanted all and sundry to know it`d be in my location .

Cheers

Tell me about over kill Peter...at one stage i was running 6 relays as well i for each low beam, 1 for each high beam and one for each spotty. The only drama i had with it was fitting all the bloody power wires onto the allready over crowded +ve battery terminal!! Probably go do the same road with ...

G`day luke

Glad to see it was useful shame the eas doesn`t have a similar thing , well if it does i haven`t found one yet .

Cheers

G`day Dan

What DL says about legal wattage is true and what Luke says about doing yourself is true also .

The RR switch can/does burn out with the factory globes when fitted with 90/130 it`s only a matter of time .

No matter what globes run if relays are fitted the swich gives no problems and ...

G`day Luke .

Yes and No , i have some scanned pages from the manual for the subject at hand .

If you PM me an Email address i`ll send what i have .

Cheers

G`day Luke

Factory manual only shows groups of 2 as in 2-12 sensor frt right . ( two - twelve )

Only shows start numbers as 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 and 6

Cheers

No worries , i`ve got a 4.0 block that i`ll get liners fitted to at some stage .

Rekon if i`m gunna do that it`d make sense to put the 4.6 stuff in it but the crank alone won`t do it .

If i come across some rods and pistons , i may contact you .

It`s a shed job so in no rush .

Cheers

Have you got the rods and pistons ?

[




Same goes for a 4.0 .


Thanks for that From what I have been told a 4.6 crank will bolt in to a 4L motor. They are the same block just different strokes. But i will ring around today and chk 100%

Mick

Yep , the blocks 4.0 and 4.6 are the same , the 4.0 has longer rods but the internals ...

G`day

If you still have the rods and pistons it would be worth something ?

The mains and biggys are larger than a 3.9 , so it would only fit with machining , the longer snout won`t matter .

I haven`t put them side by side buy remember reading that the crossbolted blocks are cast differently and ...

G`day

Reasons for the Qs

The 4 lower bolts if tensioned to spec can be the cause of pressure leaking into the valley .

Common to pull the head off and see on the upper edge of the head gasket where the pressure is making it`s way , there will be carbony/varnish looking dark stuff that tells ...

G`day

Is this the car that went to melbourne not long back ?

When you did the heads did you fit and torque to specs the 8 lower head bolts ( 4 per side ) ?

Did you see much gunk inside it when the valley was off ?

The oil leak is also relieving any pressure so hard to suss out unless it can be ...

G`day , can`t be much help at the moment .

I think the flappers 35 pin and the hotwire is 40 pin that`ll be the difference .

The injectors work in banks , possibly the problem will be related to the resistor pack .

Yep flapper AU ECUs are different to UK ones .

There`s a Morgan site , don`t have ...

G`day

What i mean is i`ll advance the cam timing , mine has a rollmaster timing set and it`s possible to do as you like with cam timing .

What happens with an engine thats done a bit of work , the timing chain streches , which retards the cam timing , this just means it works higher up the rev ...

EFI Specific

Then .....

3.5 Injection System ( checking procedure )

This is a Pommy Morgan site , the main thing is that Pommy Flapper EFI has differences to what our Flapper EFI is but the basic stuff is the same as far as checking .

It won`t tell ...

G`day

If it`s a flapper on the 3.9 as in the 3.9 replaced a 3.5 , could be but it can be checked with an OHM meter .
