NK was aparently gas compatible, but not the NJ. The torque curve of the SOHC must be more consistant so to speak - cas on paper it isnt there... dohc 300nm @ 3000rpm, sohc 304nm?? @ 3500. The economy difference between the two though is huge... and a set of lifters for a nj / nk is over 2500buks ...

Yeah we have had a few customers with noisy Triton gearboxes and have put thick 80w90 and 75w85 grade oils in with no luck unfortunately. We haven't tried the Castrol VMX80 tho. This is a straight 80 grade oil and works pretty well in most Mitsy's. ie. I put it in my Lancer and it made a world of ...

1cm should be enough, but for an example, put the end of a straw, blow though, and now do it to the long lengh. You can always go down to .9 or .8. As for adjustment, you could change the spring, but i doubt this is your problem, most seem to operate simular pressure to you, id imaigne the 13psi ...

Syncro's shouldnt have any effect. Generally the gear and selector ring gears have tappers on them, this is effectively wat holds the selector on the gear. There are also poppet springs with a ball at the end, these sit in slots along the selector shaft, when there is no load on the gear, these help ...

They are resistance based, so as temp increases resistence changes etc. This is only guesswork on my behalf, im not familiar enough with them, but it is possible that the sensor is completely dead, and when d/c and open circuit, its designed to only stay on for a preset limit. Check the resistance ...

Define jerks, you cant let it out progressively, no friction, no friction and then just grabs, or the clutch shudders as you release it?? If its the latter, been a new clutch its most likely that you bent the spline of the clutch plate when installing the gear box, so not having it level when you ...

When you say blown - wat actually happened to it, and how many k's??? The 3.8 is a fairly common conversion, good low torque, smooth down low, gives you acceptable economy and its a fairly cheap conversion - depending on how severe your 3.5 is though, you may find they both cost you a simular amount ...

OK, Clutch dies - Flywheel off and machined, rear main seal replaced, inspect spiggot bearing but for the sake of a few buks replace, get clutch kit which comes with pressure plate, clutch plated and thrust bearing. Your question is now, how far you want to 'patch' it up, most likely again??? :roll ...

The 3ltr is excellant in the sand - all 3 diesels are 'average' with the mitsy 2.8 coming out slightly ahead. As far as value for money, quality, ride and performance, the triton is hard to go part, but it doesnt have the 'reputation' of the hilux... why does the hilux have a repuation, god knows ...
