Outer Limits 4x4 Board

When i rebuit my 4.2 i got the engineers to fit the cam bearing when they machined the block,i didn't have the tools to do the bearings so it was much easier to have them do it... Putting in new bearings you will have to check for gaps,thickness,play and all those pain in the but things...i dont no ...

If its near the steering box it is a comin thing on Patrols.i no of about 5 to 6 patrols that have cracked behind the steering box were the panard rod mount is....it will get real bad vidration when driving.most of the time you would hardly even notice it is even cracked....that one shore stands out ...

Ring Engines Australia in Brisbane...I bought my kit from them..$1200...That covered everything...Pistons,sleaves,Conrods, Bearing, Gaskets.. Basiclly all standed,just went 10thou over sized on pistons,mains bearing and big end bearings..got the thickest head gasket to lower compression for the ...

I did the same thing,thought the water pump shit its self.Got a new one and jamed it in...End up being a pin hole in the bottom of the out let housing to the radiator......They happen a bit apparently

Putting a blow off valve on diesel is a lot of stuffing around...BOV's need vacume to opperate and a diesel dosent have enough vacume to opperate one...I have seen one set up electricly to opperate of the vacume of the alternater with set stage switchs on the clutch..it worked well released presure ...

ozy1,,,what did you end up doing with your radius arms


Bretto

If you are going the 6" spring and want alot of flex i would recommend you go the ajustable control arms on the back...if you dont you will eat bushers every couple of month..I had that problem with mine,you gain about 1-2" extra travel aswell




Bretto

How you doing Scruffy... You souldnt have any trouble with that,just keep an eye on all of your lines around your motor that they are not damaged and your steering arm might need to slip a bit on the pivot joint.and make shore that your fan has clerance from the bottom of your radiator shroud if it ...

And another thing,, most engineers will not touch components like that..we tried to get some arms cut out of bizliod plate and they refused to for insurance perposes


Bretto

Shane,you would be talking about mine and Yans front arms,,,, they were made of 40mm moly all tig welded johnnie joints in all pivot points.Had A go at making 2 different sets with different dissigns.It couldent handle the extra flex.the bush on the chassis was change from a pin bush to a 80 seri ...

funny that i got it for a carton of xxxx gold off a mate,i think you can get them cheap at a truck wrecker


Bretto
