Re: TOYO M55

Received a email back today with the price of $317 each fitted & balanced on the splits + $40 for heavy duty Michelin tubes

I posted this topic on quite a few forums & just about all of the feedback has been positive as long as the vehicle they are fitted to is fairly heavy

Looking at replacing my 750R16 on split rims on the GU with 235/85R16 on single piece rims after a couple of flats recently that i believe were probably caused by rubbish entering into the tube area through the gap in the locking ring & eventually rubbing through the tube Looking at 16x7 steel rims ...

The thing is at 25 psi the tyres look like they have 10 psi in them & i am hesitant to go any lower

I also wonder if i go lower if i am going to get any movement between the tube & the tyre case that might cause the tube to eventually rub through

Narva Bluepower H4 Globes

I am wondering if any forum members are using these globes in a Gu 4 or later Patrol & if there is a noticable improvement in headlamp performance over the standard globes (the Bluepower globes are also 60/55w)

Any thoughts would be appreciated

The rearmost one is the speedo drive gear
The larger one (strait cut teeth) in front is probably a speed sensor gear for the transmission control

What i would suggest is that you pressure test the cooling system & any leaks should be obvious

If leaking from this area it may be the water pump seal,water pump rear housing or the bypess hose

Rotary pumps as used on later cruisers (1990 onwards) & all hiluxs have fuel return & the fuel is used to lubricate & cool the injection pumps

I think on 2H engines the leak off (fuel return) line from the injectors went back to the injection pump

I may be incorrect but this is my opinion

3F Engines were used in early 80 Series in Carby form in manual transmissions & fuel injected in Automatic transmission until the 1FZFE was released in 1992 (8/92 I think but it could have been 10/92) as i am having a memory loss moment
