Offroad-Express

yea yea shush shush i will get a job sooner or later i had one working with my dad man did i hate that.

Thanks

looks like a really big project

belleve me it is going to be a meen project.



What do you guys think i should do to it other then lift it and weld the rear diff up and bigger wheels?????.


Just frow any sorta ideas at me and if i like it, it might happend:D.

Get it running properly and drivable first mate

Where did you see water in the oil?? If there was any water in the engine oil, the oil would be a grey milky looking sludge, but the oil on the rocker cover looks thick and black like its well due for an oil change, so don't think you have a head issue. Just dirty oil.

Another possibility, if the oil really does look odd, is that if the injectors are dribbling/leaking then you could be getting diesel running down the bores into the sump. Would more thank likely just make the oil thin as opposed to the diesel sitting on top of the oil.

Instead of dreraming about what you could do.......get out there and get the basics sorted so you can at least getting it moving.
Once you have it running, then think about your budget and what you can do in the modification stakes.

Have you had a good look underneath. Looks like the chassis has already had some repairs, but are there more required?

Sort the engine and springs, only then think further ahead.

thanks. umm the water was sitting on the cam and arround the valves.

Im going to do a oil ,filter and deisel change next time im down there.

Is there any sorta oil i should use.

Thanks

Use it as is, As a toy, any money you can spare would be much better spent on your Surf which you can take on the road to go places 4wding.
Unless you have a good paying job lined up in which case, mod them both..
