cumon people, someone must want a cheap but almost good 80

[Dace]

this is a FARKIN tidy 80, if ya could sort the oil issue, it would be a Bargin, as Badnuz has already done rings, bearings in the engine, all the suspension is near new in it, the 3' exh is noy even 6 months old, not to mention the professionally rebuilt Auto.

actually, how much did ya want for it....

[badnuz]

update:

it seems to have stopped blowing blue smoke with the introduction of the catch can for the breather..... will have to see how much oil gets blown into it, but so far its very minimal...

[zephyrheaven]

mine had some blowby till i got all that valvoline shit out of it

run it on Caltex CXJ , no blues , no bearing worries

[DaveM]

Not sure what oil mine had last service, but I suspect this is the main cause of the smoke. Put 250ml of Moreys Oil Stabiliser in, and very little smoke now.

Will try Caltex next service.

[UBZ]

Very interesting. my 1kz surf was blowing a little blue smoke on occassion and I changed from Valvoline oil to Gulf Western and know it no longer smokes at all.

Always though Valvoline was a good reputable brand of oil

[badnuz]

it does seem not all oils are equal-in fact poles apart even!!! with my new oil (castrol GTX DIESEL) it now has better oil pressure too.......

I allways used Mobil Delvac MX in my Safari's and they ran sweet, Its also the same oil as Cat diesel/Fleet oil that is suitable in Petrols and multi-use fleet situations,

Delvac1 is even better as its the Diesel version of Mobil1 and is a very good quality oil, I also used this in my MX bikes and racing quads for years, Its apprently a better quality oil than the Mobil1 petrol oil as we know it but shite its expensive

delvac mx is what i use and recommend to anyone. the delvac 1 is awesum oil but its too thin for the recommended clearances of the VX cruisers.
