just got me a 2004 mazda bounty 4wd to replace the old 96 l200 4wd, hopefully its a upgrade off road.... well they come bog standard hell of a low and was looking at lift kits and came across this... looks pretty good, what do you guys recommended ? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mazda-bravo-4x4-1999-20...

wildplumdx

yeah put some fancy osram bulbs in night breaker i think... suppose to be 110% brighter than standard... i didn't even notice a difference

wildplumdx

yeah its my low beam that sucks high beam sweet, i swear there aimed far to low... if i lifted the beam it would be sweet but the wof guy had a melt down when i said that but its ridiculous almost dangerous as it is

wildplumdx

not hydraulic lifters on 4d56 diogenese might just need the tappet clearances checked or its could possibly be cracked just inspect them since your there adjusting etc

wildplumdx

wildplumdx

you can always add food coloring to the water your pouring on the suspected area that way you can see the trail easier, as water is very hard to track if that helps

oh dear...

wildplumdx

have no idea about winches, is that any good ?

wildplumdx

well i think i found the problem.... when i put the engine back together the tappet cover gasket half fell out at the back and it was crushed all half in half out....so glad it was an easy fix but i really hope this was the problem and nothing else. the next few days will tell!

wildplumdx

also starts up like a absolute dog when cold so me think maybe it is the valve steam seals allowing oil to sit on the glow plugs might have to pull them out and check them too.

wildplumdx

i guess i shouldn't jump to worst case scenario, I've been goggling peoples opinions on similar problems and no one has mentioned valve stem seals , more i think about it surely i wouldn't be them, also it has a new manifold gasket but i did undo it and one stage and then put it back on and its one ...

wildplumdx

done. worked a treat only thing i would have done differently was get the compressor and blow the old old back to the trans through the oil return line but i forgot, i don't think that amount of oil will do harm, new oils nice and clean and red !

wildplumdx
