Outer Limits 4x4 Board

start with the simple stuff. Compression check,at that age I wouldnt be surprises if burnt valves. Not a majorand valve stem seals can be replaced at same time.Go out at night when dark and look for spark jumping from leads, this be encouraged buy squirting with water from old kitchen pump cleaner ...

quick test is to loosen + terminal bolt, turn motor on , turn high beam on. Put meter on to see voltage. Lift terminal off bat +with meter lead attached. If lights stay on then alternatercan put out current, if voltage stays the same then regulator is working.This was shown to me by auto sparky ...

thanks everyone for input to my subject.This engine is for a conversion job and Ive been going through it part by part just so I better understand it.The only sensor that was faulty was the AIR INTAKE SENSOR with measured 0 ohms but with a clean back to OK readings.It was covered in black soot ...

thanks for that Scott, Ive was
thinking it was a lot complicated. I can see why its more about getting air in, proper fuel vaporizing, air out.It also points out the importance of the 02 sensor working properly. All good info thanks

just been rewiring a vp 3.8 commo loom and noticed that the + are joined together but so are all the triggers. why would you trigger all injectrs at the same time. how does that effect economy etc. any info appreciated thanks

Has anyone added a facit or similar 4-5 psi pump back at the tank on a diesel engine. Would it help or hinder. I added one to a marine engine to help on startup after being idle for weeks at a time. it ran constantly and the motor felt a heap better. comments please

the coils fitted now only compress 50mm so are probably HD or worked ok before the trayback mod. I need coils with greater flex . will be useing toughdog shocks aprox 760mm travel . I dont want to reinvent the wheel and fill the shed with more spare parts. any suggestions out there. Thanks

Check left hand engine mount.You"ll need to get under the truck to see the mount and look for broken rubber internals.I had thumping noise when at a angle and the engine was torqeing itself clockwise. The shop said they sell a lot of left hand side ones
