Re: Landcruiser 70 series v8 ram head snorkel fitting

I think DUDELUX once posted you can get them cheap from truck spares shops like QDS and such. IFRC it was way cheaper than going safari and the like.

Re: D4D Injectors

I remember seeing something on here a while ago about the injectors going on them because they are fragile and we have crappy fuel here.

I think it might've been in gen tech though. Have you searched there?

Re: changing hilux bodys

Quick Question in reguards to this.

Later on down the track I'm considering putting a later model (200ish aswell) extra cab body on my '93 LN106. Would I have to comply with emissions for that body too?

Hey want33s, I forgot to mention that a syncro keyway thing did fall out of the box when we dropped the oil. Now reverse wouldn't have these would it?
We'd still like to dismantle it, just to see whats happend.

Re: problem with the injection pump (2l-t 4runner LN61)

Same thing happend to mine. If you have a repair manual then it should be sweet, I managed to get mine off within a couple of hours. The worst part was the price, near on $1000, but along with seals i got some mechanical bits replaced too and it runs like a dream now.

Hope this helps.

The other plugs have plenty of room, you should be able to pull the whole cluster out and then disconnect them ...

Re: 3L 2.8 diesel - injector pump replacement: HOW TO?

Thats interesting chocko. When i received my pump back it was reset back to TDC, so all we had to do was bolt it on, then the pulley. Also, did you remove your injector lines when you removed your pump? If I remember correctly, we couldnt get a socket between the pump and block and im fairly sure ...
