Outer Limits 4x4 Board

To be honest, I know the total cost, but there is a reassembly cost in that that blows it past what was actually done in terms of rebuilding. I think a good guesstimate from the grand total is about $5.5k for the essential work and parts, and I think that's about right considering I also had crack ...

Quite a bit has happened since my last post so many moons ago. My father has become ill, and with that and uni I don't have the time to put it all back together with any sort of confidence. I now have a completely repaired and assembled 1HD-T returning to me in a few weeks. What took so long was a ...

Yeah, I got it all crack tested and whatnot, measured and hot-tubbed. Needs: -Rebore to 0.5mm over -Line bore on crank -Facing -Valves got bent because of overspeed -Crank needs a minor linishing -Cam needs a grind round a sealpoint -Injectors need overhaul -Glow plugs are gone -Turbo has been ...

Couldn't post sunday nite, was utterly buggered. >>Will Edit this later once I get the photos online<< Pulled the last of the timing stuff, the oil and fuel pumps and oil cooler. http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv157/overflow255/CIMG1349.jpg I rolled her over, and popped all the conrods and ...

Tools are the most useful thing. You just can't get away without them. Managed to borrow two gear pullers. Also laid hands on a rattlegun and 3/4" drive t-bar. Well. Fat load of good the rattle did. For swearing and cursing and rattling that bolt for a good half hour, we got nothing. Since we bent ...

Another few days at the grindstone. As promised, the dead turbo: http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv157/overflow255/CIMG1264.jpg Got the turbo back in exactly 1 day. Immaculate. Thanks MTQ. Everything inside was wrecked, shaft broken, bearings shot, both impellers needed replacing. We were really ...

After a whole day, and visiting REPCO for 1/2" socket extensions, we got her out. The cam looks remarkably ok for what its apparently been through, oil still on them. Got the turbo off. Ugly. Took it to a rebuilder and he just said "just got old". Bought some bolts to hold the engine in. Search ...

Regarding blocking it off, I only really realised what I could have done afterwards. I read somewhere that an even easier way is to stick a CO2 fire extinquisher in the intake and pray. It hit about 4300rpm and then I killed the ignition and lost the tacho, but if it did overspeed, it was just ...

Forgot to mention:

-Most likely cause of death is failed turbo seals.

This Caused turbo to pump said engine oil into intake (thats why I couldn't turn it off).

-No idea what damage is done at the moment (still getting it out).

-She has been babied (1991 and done 220,000).

G'day gents, new here. Was driving the cruiser home one day, heard a serious clunk, normal revving sound replaced by spluttering, then she revved out to redline. Turned off the ignition and she was still running, white smoke blasting out with some hot oil. Tried to stall it in 5th but burnt the ...
