I run a dvsr and manual 3 position isolator switch position 1 is off, 2 is both batteries joined and 3 is both batteries joined along with winch controller, works a treat

Went for a play in the snow like most people in Canterbury

Get in contact with woody, ore name is loppee top bloke and makes a mint bar, got one myself

Campbell.s

I'm a forklift mechanic, and Iv dealt with countless bad bottles of lpg, change the bottle for another and they run fine, hence why 3 brand new machines all go down at once, not all gas suppliers are equal.

Campbell.s

Got my hi lift jack and land anchor mounted, now to get the tow bar, fuel tank skid plate and rear bar work done

Campbell.s

Hi, is it an impco vff30 by chance? Also how old is the lpg your running it on? It can go stale and even be a bad batch of fuel, I've got 3 lpg GM V6s that won't start or run shit all from a crap batch of lpg

Campbell.s

Got the escudo painted finally and reassembled

Campbell.s

I've got a 9500lb runva for sale, brand new in box, dyneema synthetic rope, just depends on your definition of reasonably cheap

Campbell.s

The only common problem that I can think of is the crank pulley bolt comes loose and allows the timing belt gear on the crank to move and slog out the key way, mine did this but there wasn't a noise just shit timing. Wouldn't hurt to check it.

Removed the alloy front diff from the escudo and put in a steel one fitted with lockrite locker

Campbell.s

Try blackwell loadmaster on Blenheim road they'll do a pin type bar Like that pic but stronger

Campbell.s

The factory metalic blue, will put some pics up when it's done in a couple of weeks

Campbell.s

Has brackets that bolt to two factory holes where the bumper mounts to I believe on the side and then drill a third through the front, then simply bolt the bar to the brackets, I'm adding in another to tie it back to that round bar that goes across the front of the chassis.

FTS lift kit not sure how it'll go seems to hard at the moment but will soon find out. Winch was made by ORE member loppee in rolly, top bloke and makes a damn good bar. Would love to see what your rear bar turns out like.

Campbell.s

Just outside chch, so far I've rebuilt the motor and front and rear diffs, lock rite front and rear, front diff is steel, 3 inch suspension lift, winch bar with a 9500lb runva, rock sliders, LED light bar etc just got to get the top coat on and wiring up dual batteries and some kind of rear bar that...

Test from ipad

Campbell.s

Maintenance book says for our temperature range 10w30, 10w40, 10w50, 15w40, 15w50, and 20w50 so not a lot of choice there

even 5w30 if it's going down to -30C

Campbell.s

Check the voltage drop across your pos and neg leads and across engine earth, should be no higher than 0.5 volts, if it is you've got a high resistance in a connection or lead itself

Campbell.s

Coby extractors and 1.75" mandrel bent exhuast with a straight through muffler on mine works a treat and sounds just as good

Campbell.s

Got mine from seal imports

Campbell.s

Well the rebuild of mine has cost roughly $2000, that includes a new head at $900, second hand crank $290, rebuild cam $300ish, also rebuild kit $500 which has all new bearings pistons and rings, water and oil pump, gasket set timing kit etc plus a few other bits and bobs like head bolts and crank t...

I did the valves on my sj with a soft wire brush on a drill, then just lapped them in, worked a treat. Lapping valves is easy to do so long as you have the tools. Where did you get the price for the valve stem seals? I got a complete engine gasket kit for not much more than that from repco, mind you...

Campbell.s

Yea they're simple as to make this is how I made mine. Old spark plug, cut off the earth and knock out the ceramic then just weld on an air fitting, hook it up to your air tank via a regulator and your away laughing. Word of warning though, when you've got a cylinder on tdc compression stroke be ver...

Campbell.s

Gotta love the trusty eye-o-meter. Your right in that it would need to be some fairly obvious damage to the seat for the amount of compression you've lost, for your future reference the best way to check your valves are sealing when you've got the head off is to flip it upside down and fill the holl...

Campbell.s

Out of curiosity how did you check to see that the valves where sealing properly?

Campbell.s

Have you done a leak down test?
