Lots of cooling, not necessarily, there are lots of hydraulic systems which work pretty hard with only a small reservoir and no cooling. You can work out how big a reservoir you need but i suspect it wouldn't be over the top (say 20L to 40L at an absolute stab in the dark). Other problems would be ...

J Top No, I don't reckon you could do that. If your car is just lifted 2" by springs then it still has the same upper and lower limits of LL travel as a stock car. If you shift the top of the LL down then you risk bottoming it out, by 2". The only way to adjust it I see is to move the ports as per ...

I don't thinkn that a direct replacement with an airbag is a simple operation. You would need to take out at least one ball joint as otherwise the airbag will just spit out to one side. And then, I don't know how well an airbag will take the angles that a rangie rear can put out. I think a better ...

There is stacks of info on the web on how to make this stuff yourself. No need for expensive heat exchangers, and old hot water system does fine. Do some google'ing, buying it is probably not that cool unless you can get some idea of the quality. He could be selling you anything. My dad had heaps of ...

12°btdc !

Manual for my '86 says 0°btdc, and I have an 8:1 motor.

Running unleaded I am worried at 2°btdc. Why the huge difference? or does efi advance kick in way quicker.

Does not miss a beat, car still has plenty of power and doesn't miss when in nuetral. Could be missing a bit when being worked (which is when then choofing happens).

Thought it could be a lead too, replaced leads and plugs and no better.

Fouled is dry black carbon powder, not wet at all.

Thanks

Yep I should check my manifold bolts. Have had a good look around and can't see any black soot, so i figured that everything was good.

Doesn't explain why #5 is fouled. Am using injector cleaner, doubt it will do any good though.

Thanks

Rangie engine weird noises

Hi My '86 rangie has developed a continual ticking noise and a choofing noise when the engine is worked hard. The tick and the choof are reletive to engine speed. #5 cylinder plug was dry black fouled while all other plugs were good. Car has done 110,000 kms and has not had any major work from what ...
