I got Toyo's and I think they are rubbish they drill my spine every pot hole.

Should be able to buy one if not cut one yourself just get the correct thickness and before you fit it in straighten the metal around each of the bolt holes so it doens't start leaking again. You need a flat surface for the gasket to seal correctly. If you over tighten it will leak and if you...

Now it's starting first kick every time I am stoked.

STILL HAD AN ISSUE WITH STARTING SO i REPLACED THE RYCO FUEL FILTER (BRAND NEW) WITH A COOPERS ONE AND NOW IT STARTS BEAUTIFUL. Might even have a bit more power now that its not leaking at the seal of the filter.

Hello again Diesel owners as you can see above I fixed this car with a cheap primer pump. I then changed the fuel filter and had to re-prime the diesel engine and it started not starting first kick again so I have been chewing this over for a few weeks trying to think what was wrong then it hit...

Nissan partrols were effected and that filter has gone in the bin had to buy another and lets face it you guys buy your filters in the shop like me usually this was the only japanese filter I had purchases. the engines that came out of Jap spares in the 80's also had the issue occasionally. I...

Don't buy Japanese filters for Australian Japanese cars the sneaky buggers made the mounts different so they do not fit might be as simple as a lug in the wrong place preventing sealing. So now my Cruiser is like a beached whale in the driveway until I go into town and purchase an aussie made...

I have an auto locker in the front I hate and air locker in the rear some one advised me this was the best setup for the hj60 well no. Air lockers all round would be much better. Never seen cable lockers on a HJ60.

Just remove the liners and press in new ones just be very clean when you clean the barrel after removing sleeves use wet and dry to clean barrels.

I don't think my 1982 HJ60 4 speed box is giving me all it's got anyone know how fast it should go? will they do more than 110k?

Was the o-ring on the top Plunger that you pump up and down it was perished so had to push out the pin holding the top of plunger on remove spring and remove remains of O-ring clean up (Lucky I got a box of O-rings at a garage sale) and replace o-ring put knob back on plunger and push pin home...

If the engine has dry sleeves they can be pulled out with a large home made puller with a 1" threaded bar an international truck used sleeve to pull the sleeve up through and a 3/4 inch plate on the underside rebated to fit snugly under the sleeve put the nut on the bottom side and a 3/4 rattle...

Now It was 3.00pm Had my wife with dementure onboard and I was up the creek didn't like the prospect of driving 50 kilometers home without a clutch would have been an adventure but too much traffic these days. well they did not have a New Master cylinder in stock for me at 3.00pm but they got...

Found out today this could be a bad sealing lift pump when it was in the shop some time ago employees tried to bleed it and has not been right since then so I have a kit and pump coming. might do a bit more up top then.

I got a set recently I have wanted a set since 2005 when I rebuilt my engine as No 5 cylinder fire ring was burnt out from all the heat that accumulated around no5 where the engine pipe runs off. Well now each cylinder has its own pipe so heat will be even along the header bank top speed is no...
