THE "silly" question thread
Ok, I cracked the rear housing on my gearbox years ago when the uni on the short shaft went. Finally got off my ass and replaced the rear housing with one I had picked up a while ago. Now the old rear housing had the breather in it, but the new one doesnt have a spot where one would go and therefore I have lost the breather for the box.
Now has anyone else come across this and does anyone know if it is going to cause any problems with over pressurising and blowing out the seals ?
it is still there, but does not have a cap etc on it (usually) near the base of the shift tower.

if its to tight it can damage alternator bearings and tensioners etc.
how much should i be able to twist the belt? is 1/2 to 3/4 of twist to loose.
thanks
basic rul of thumb 15-30 mm ish of movement from should be fine depending on how long ther long bit is.

Missing the trees probably...
He/She/It's being 'smart', hinting at your car being too tall. (personally I agree, but that doesn't mean it is too tall, just not how I'd build one).
The main thing with the 31's with your setup will be hitting either the firewall or the front bumper-bar outriggers. Make sure the seams on the fireall are hammered flat, spend some time massaging the firewall back a bit if you want, or better yet move the front diff forward. If the diff is forward the bumper bar outriggers will have to go completely.
I've shoehorned the same tyres in with a 2" sus lift, and 2" bumpstop extensions, along with some axle moving and trimming/hammering/massagging/etc etc... So you should have no problems!

Wheeling on completely wicked angles, without even looking stable.
lovely cheers
yeah the lift that is in it is already therer (car is on a truck from QLD atm) i will asses how it is and what needs to be done to it
ultimately I think it is too high as well...I want to make it difficult to roll so increasing track with the wide low offset wheels is first port of call...ill look at height as well

I know some people who run 2" sus and 2" body lift in them, and they are still quite stable cars (unless you drive like a loon ), even in Narrow track form; so I wouldn't stress. I just like my car being super low and I drive with the attitude my skid rails are there for a reason (because they spend alot of time getting scratched!)

thats older autos .. motors temp is not relevant and motor should be off. (you can check it before you get in and start it in the morning so long as the car is basically level)shandy wrote:when checking the engine oil level, the engine should be at running temp correct?
just double checking
thanks

do in line fuel pumps need priming in any way? in particular a vl fuel pump.
we are doing an eng swap to a 4age, pump was working but now is giving us issues and just want to double check to see before swaping it out.
its weird you can hear and feel it turn on but... nothing.
