Trying to get the injectors out of a 3 cylinder yanmar TNE genset motor, its had water dripping on top of it and they are rusted in solid, ive tried an injector puller (slide hammer type), no go, question is, whats the best brand of rust penetrant to soak them in? and would it be safe to warm the ...

Not a good idea in my opinion, if you take it off road and flex it the body will develop cracks for sure.

Thanks will check out CIG website

Thanks for the info and links, welding tips site is great, will definately being having a good read and watching some of the vids.

Couple of questions for the welding gurus here, i own a couple of boats (one aluminium, the others fibreglass but has a lot of stainless steel bits) so im thinking about buying a Tig welder, dont want to spend a fortune, but dont want cheap crap either, it will be used for light work like making rod ...

I would fix the ARB, the seals are readily available, basically they are just "O" rings made out of a brown coloured material, my local mechanic never had problems sourcing them to rebuild my diffs. Any good 4x4 shop should be able to get them for you. Your local ARB guy is full of shit.

Most boat chandelerys like Bias and whitworths sell it, so do fibreglass suppliers like FGI, preperation is the key make sure all areas have been sanded and wiped clean with acetone.

As luck would have it. I've just done a cat 1.1 motor today with the same symptoms. 2 loose injectors were letting combustion gases past the injector seals and blackening the fuel being returned to tank. Might be worth checking out. Do the engines run fine? One motor is running perfect, the other ...

Hey mate, Just a couple of possibilities, fungus is common in marine applications or carbon from injector tip blowby. It probably won't be a fuel rail as you would be making oil as well. Depending on the model will determine where the pickup pump is mounted but I think there is a tell tale hole to ...

Interesting theory milo, it does have a fuel cooler so i will look into this. i might take a sample of the fuel in to a lab and see if they can analys what the contaminent is.

I have a boat with 2 GM detroit 6V53T,s in it, im having problems with fuel contamination, it appears that engine oil is getting back into the fuel return lines. We cut the tanks open and scrubbed them spotless, within a few days of running the clean fuel had gone black again. Is it possible for oil ...

Try Crane enfield metals in Penrith NSW, i used to work in their copper mill many years ago, it may be pricey but i think they would be able to do it for you, all copper pipe starts at about 4 inch diameter then they use a series of plugs and dies to gradually shrink or enlarge it. Not sure if they ...

How about the GM Detroit 6v53T, they have been used extensively for years by the US millatary in Tanks and personell carriers. I have 2 of them powering one of my boats, they are reliable and will happily run all day long. very low maintenance and very economical. theres a few vids on youtube. Only ...

tyres sticking out past the guards no mud flaps on the tray and also a small oil leak tha drips from the sump plug which is maybe 1 drip a day Why not simply fit mud flaps, plastic flares and then just stop up the road before you get to the inspection and wipe the sump plug clean, all sounds like ...

Any GQ with drop boxes has also changed the suspension mounting location ???????? Actually the original suspension mount is still used to mount the suspension!!! Likewise if you create a 5-link setup where the lowers use the OE mounts. On a more serious note, not that I'm competing, but it does ...

i seem to remember that threadn too

you just need to adjust your steering links and fit bigger offset rims (i think you run GU steelies) so you can get max lock each way

mine ran out of rego and i had to get a blue slip for it, it was a major pain in the arse as they made me remove the boat from the trailer and take it over a weigh bridge, not easy to drop a 19 foot fibreglass boat onto the front lawn :bad-words: , they also made me put clearance lights on the ...

(my post from Monthly) They REALLY need to change the no back and fill rule at the top of event 2, it is just stupid (IMO)! It in no way eliminates a vehicle due to driver skill or vehicle ability, the big trucks struggle to make the sharp left turn on flat dirt and if they don't they're ...

theres a few vids here

i had a ball, finished on 555 points in Open class, apologies for holding up the show on event 3 when i busted 2 CVs in the bottom of the gully, only took the recovery team an hour and a half to get me out of there , glad i had some spares and was able to fix it.

all packed and ready to roll in the morning

cost me $230 to get my R12 system in the lux overhauled and converted to R134a, and havent noticed any change in performance (the guy spent the extra time to pull the vaccum down to -100kpa, and put a bigger than usual charge in it. a bigger than usual charge as you put it will fu#k your compressor ...

Anyone know if any R12 gas is still available in Sydney? Sorry to all the do gooders who may take offence. R12 hasnt been available for a few years now, it is now illegal to use it. there are replacement refrigerants you can now use instead of r12, ie r409a opr R134a. your only chance of getting ...
