Re: Premier brand brake pads

being a mechanic i do alot of brake pads and we only bendix. We have too many warranty claims on squealing and complaints about brake dust on other cheaper brands. I find the bendix to the best never had a problem.

Re: Another 9.5XP vs M8274

The new motors will bolt on. You will most likely need to buy a pinion gear though. As the newer motors use a splined pinion gear and the older ones used a Key-way.
mine is an older model and the new 6hp fitted no issues once the pinion gear turned up.
From memory the pinion gear is only about $30 ...

Re: Holden rodeo 3.5l petrol, good or no good?

I can vouch for how bad they are on fuel. I get around 300kms on petrol but 400kms to a 70ltr gas tank. I love it its cheap to run great work ute. I know they do big ends but my brothers a mechanic. If you put it on gas or it has gas, there a great work ute as you can get them pretty cheap now.

Re: GU 4.2TD fuel troubles/boost compensator - DEISEL EXPERT

Pump was out a touch.... advanced it to .78 got temps up to 400, making 100kw didnt matter how much fuel we put it same thing couldnt get any more heat into. So we backed the fuel off making 100kw which is enough for the trip and when i get back might advance it to .82 or something.

The higher the pressure is, the further around the pump cam must go to deliver said pressure, decreasing actual injection time.

If the injectors were opening at 90psi you wouldnt have a running engine :)
105-110Bar is optimum pressure opening range. About 1650psi.
130 is to much and will screw with pump timing alot, so unless you account for it, it will give a performance decrease.

It will be the stainless mesh filter on ...

stick with a standard, if the water passes too quickly through the radiator it will not cool quick enough. A high flow one will help it get to temperature quicker though.
