Re: 1hz to a440

id advise against running the 1hz with the auto as its painfully slow.
but bellhousing is the same for the 1h series of motors
you will need the torque convertor for a 1hz to suit the torque curve of the diesel.

they would be for the egr system. this wont stop you starting your car. and no u dont have to use them. the car will run better with the egr stuff not connected.
the fuel pump might have security in it. easiest way out is swap the pumps over unless ur old pump is shagged

Re: Air locker difficult to disengage

most commonly the orings have perished and are leaking or it could be the copper lines is pierced.
only way to find out is pull the center and check for air leaks.
releasing all depends on the load placed on the center. if its under load it wont always release.

replace the master cylinder and slave cylinder. it'll be the master leaking fluid internally back past the piston seal

what are L\100kms you getting.
i know of some mods that increase the power which in turn helps drop the economy.

How many kms on it.
