Don't let him near anything you own again

Indeed it's a 178, the 165s big brother. It's quite the handy machine, I don't actually own any land but I don't know how I lived without a tractor! Topically, the South African Land Rovers with the 4.236 perkins would of been a fantastic machine...

Extracting is a breeze, just make sure you have constant vacuum applied and just sit and watch the process. I happened to overfill my oil so extracting makes it convenient without having to open the drain plug and make a mess. This applies to...

My image of Australia/New Zealand is such that you can just walk down to the corner store, pickup bread and meat for lunch, a spare Land Cruiser, fuel, even a pet Koala, then head back home. It truly is a magical place down under. Perhaps in...

I bought a spare one.

Go back to the shop and ask them to re-do correctly. If they didn't know or weren't sure, they could have and should have asked.

They make a minor power increase, leave it alone if it's working fine.

Built a new clutch pedal

Correct, it's a diversion door. You pull the knob upward to fuel the sub. Down for the main. The door does not completely block the main when the sub is selected. If using the sub you need to fill it first, then the main. If you fill the main...

If it starts well, I'd suspect that compression to be an error. Do your own test, and add a few ml of engine oil to the cylinders if it's low, and test again. If you see an increase, your issue is rings, if not you either have some head/valve...

Unless you're making 1000 ft lbs + of torque, stock transfer case should be fine.

Yep deleted it completely with a 6bt. It was a little more expensive this way though.

Wasn't this weekend but back in March finished upper the PHH delete kit. Engine sounds much better, seems to have way more power and gets 20mpg now. Highly recommend.

No replacement for displacement 🥳

Yes it's a cavitation/resonance problem that causes the damage and it's probably at that rpm. I think the reason Australia found this problem early and NZ didn't was because Australians spend a long time at constant speed where Kiwi's don't...

Don't overdo this on the harmonic balancer

1HD-FT

The living heart donor: Don't let the number plate throw ya, Its a Cummins. Cheers

1HD-T?

Hey mate, thanks for chiming in! That offer is tempting, but I'm just not quite ready to pull the trigger yet. The car is unfortunately still playing up, and it's hard to spend money on tyres and suspension until I get that sorted. It's been...

Thank you for the review. I replaced many of the thinner OEM and "wanna be" cheap sellers a few times and decided to make a HD version several years ago. They continue to be a top seller for us for the 60 guys worldwide. Enjoy and thanks again...

I should add, I have a set of IMS shocks and dobinsons springs in stock at the moment from a cancelled order, would move them on at a reasonable discount if you were interested because would like them out the way! Front + 60-100kg springs...

I'm probably biased because we sell them, but dobinsons IMS shocks and appropriate coils for the load IMHO

The better your turbo is the less time you spend off-boost.

I went out and bought a 20v dewalt impact. Zipped it off like nothing. Had to rip the whole front apart though. Machine shop is making me a special tool out of 1/2" steel. It will go over the balancer and connect to all 6 (or 4 for 1HDFT) bolts...
