Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I should be able to get some pics at work tuesday.

And I can say that as they are off road they are worse than the 4x4, the rear leaf packs allow almost no articulation.

Like everyone has said Cheers Rudi, Hobzee, my first time comping had a blast, great food from the cooks, and plenty of it.

Cheers to Guts and Wayne for taking a chance on a first time navi, and Matt who showed me a few things on the winch we did.

2nd first time out

I will check and see if I kept my fan shroud. If I still have it you can pick it up for nothing.

Like wise, also there is one in a yard in Seymour, (5mins from me) that I have got some gear from, hope to get in there tomorrow for some bit's for myself, will find out what he want's for those bits ...

Yep the old crank starter dog
Excellent thanks for that mate

Need to replace the seals on my timing cover.
Anyone know the size for the nut holding the balance/pulley on ?
3.5 carby motor by the way.

Cheers guys, same pics as in the mag, thought someone may have had some hidden away, I'll try the searches suggested

Any one have pics of the Orange LRA soft top rangie?
I've searched here, and only found ones that I have in the old 4WD monthly write up.

I've just fitted a EF falcon radiator in my rangie, still sorting some "permanent" tmounting issues, and the extra outlet :oops: But runs cool. Picked mine up for $120 from a wreckers, with the bonus of easily mounting EF/EL thermo's in the near future. Once I've sorted it all I'll get some pics up.

some more pics

Here you go Guts.

Rest will go here http://www.3rdrock4x4.com/forum/viewtop ... =8513#8513

It runs, better I think initially, starts easier anyway, and it's not throwing oil and coolant all over the shop, also I brought a pair of mechanics gloves the other day for my hands, weak I know, but the other half was making threats.

Thanks again for all the tip's and check's guys, not everything ...

G`day Thonger ,

GOOD ON YA !!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Have a great day and forget about the Rangie . It will always ask more of you than you new Bride . ;) ;)

Well if that head goes on the pass side after looking at your pics some more i`d go out on a limb and say both the end pots 7 pass and 8 drive ...

Closest to the manifold was pass side if that helps at all.

Oh yeah, doing this the week leading up to your wedding is a pain, Have to stop tomorrow afternoon or the oil stains won't be out of my hands by saturday.

Cheers guys. Yep spent quite some time cleaning out the threads on both the heads' and block.

Cylinders where not wet, but I suspect that the breathers for the rocker covers have been throwing oil into the carby, as I have found oil in side the air filter, not helping what ever problem I have.
The ...

Lip is there in the cylinders, slight, can just feel it with finger nail, can't see it.
Lifters are all good as you suggested. TDC mark appears good, as in No 1 tops out there :D Think that is what I am looking for, should check my manual on that one :D .
One thing I can't seem to find in my ...

Cheers mate appreciate the tips, first time engine stripper and all
Checked piston movement, no one has any more movement laterally than any other. less than a mm each way?

cheer's I'll check the piston movement. Valves I'm not sure off, I guess I have to pull them down to check them?

So are there any opinions to be offered?
If not it's going back together in the next 2 days.

Pulled heads, pics below. Everything seems fine, infact looks like it had some work done not long ago. tappets and cam(what I can see) barely marked.

Cheers guys, guess either way the heads will have to come off so I'll start with that and work on from there.

are you using oil, blowby problem? i dont know if the 10-20 psi difference is a major concern?

using water? head gasket?

too many farken questions.

:D
Water is good, have kept a close eye on it, not loosing any that I can notice.
Timing cover is leaking but my main indicator is that oil ...

Tested twice, edged up towards 120 but not quite the second time. I plan on checking again tommorrow, is the "wet test" (squirt oil in) valid in people opinion for diagnosis? and how much oil?

Compression tested my motor on a hunch and got the following results.

Numbered from front to rear
Passangers side bank
1-130
2-125
3-125
4-130

Drivers side bank
1-130
2-135
3- 115
4-135

Now that 115 has me worried although most are a little down from spec?
I was thinking that rings etc would ...

Some pics I got, great weekend all round

Re army .
I was told by a mechanic at Trivett Rover who is the son of a good friend that the latest army batch has an LT95 box with the tranfer case machined off and a HD LT230 fitted. I wondered why they would go to such trouble but didn't really question him closely about it. He claimed he had ...

Sorry I couldn't be more help
