First of thanks for some great reads and inspiration. So i found my self with 2 zukis now a v6 auto escudo with low km and a jx vitara 1600 5 speed. I wanna mod one into a offroad toy tryin to decide what 1 to do, which one would you guy say would be better to mod. My other question is about the 1600 it is leakin/using oil i gave it a good degrease it looks to be coming from the rocker cover gasket got a feeling its not a simple leak though any idea what would be causing this? it doesn't use water or over heat and the water is clean?

Hey and welcome, if its just the rocker cover leaking, then its pretty simple to fix, by just replacing the gasket. Would take like a hour max.

Cheers Daniel

oh yea cool i was just woundering if it was a sign of something else.

Id also check you PCV valve and Breather tube, for blockages or obstructions, Its the valve and tube coming off the rocker cover to the air inlet.

Cheers Daniel

mod the 1600, easy to do, lots of tips on here, and spare parts are cheaper and more common ( im led to believe...)

the oil leak will be a o ring on the distrubitor housing atthe back of the engine , common fault
o ring for suzuki about $4

what do you guys think of the spring spacers for a 2 inch lift and another 2 inch body lift running 31" on 8" rims?
