    Non-Turbo 2H with high EGT

    very true, like the flame tip is hotter than the base of the flame. Guess the ceramic coating piston heads was also a n attempt to dissipate the heat too...but shouldn't be necessary for n/a either

    Non-Turbo 2H with high EGT

    Interesting re dig. Pure aluminium melts at 660c..but alloys would melt at different temps.

    Builds Mouldy Mario gets defoliated.

    Awesome build, Thank you Ben. It is 2024 end of March. I just sold a sump pan to Ben and he pointed me to his build. What an honour to meet him. Maybe it is presumption for me to speak for him, but he is driving Mario and said he should update what he has done so far when he gets a chance...

    Steering Box Adjustment

    probably ok then, lift her front, Loosen it off, full turns left and right, and tighten just enough snug. Check tie rods. Go from there. I reckon mr toyoda put the air box mouth in the way so it was not so easy to access the adjustment screw. In that era anyway.

    Steering Box Adjustment

    It can cause more damage than good tightening the box. One of the dangers of following youtube instructions. Does not tell the full story, well, I have not seen a video yet which does tell the full story. Often wondered if the video makers are steer box repairers drumming up business. If you...

    What's the value of a 2H motor?

    I love them, but would only buy it cheap like $300aud, locally. But has been a while since I have seen them for that price.

    Rear leaf springs, straightness?

    It aint by much these are slightly bent, but I replaced these rear springs for a heavy duty load on my good troopy. I wonder if I should just run with these on my second troopy build although not perfectly straight? The only sign that something was slightly wrong, was the rear wheel bearings...

    Balls! ? and front axle housings?

    I have repaired slopped out spring bolt alignment holes in rear axle housing perches by welding cut up saddles with good holes on to the perches in the past. Loose 6mm or so in height but at least the spring bolt was aligned. The purest would probably weld on new perches. So I wonder if I...

    Balls! ? and front axle housings?

    These are the wreck's balls on the inside, chunks have been chewed up in there!

    Balls! ? and front axle housings?

    Building a hj75 troopy, very slowly with very little money. The front axle housing balls on the wreck looked exceptionally neglected and abused. So I picked up a used front axle housing on marketplace. Are the random marks and crevices within the balls part of the casting?

    Body mounts poly vs rubber? Casting poly?

    Good call fellas, yep rubber certainly still has a role in this world. Don't see poly tyres yet, they need rubber. Speaking to a shoe manufacturer the other day, apparently vulcanizing rubber is a real art. Poly would be easier and cheaper to manufacture, my guess.

    corolla recommendations which year?

    Ending up going 2016 manual transmission hatch 100k kms. Going to get one of those obd2 diagnostic toys to plug into the laptop..a new world from the 1988 troopy. Took note, virtually all hatchbacks look the same regardless of manufacturer. Most modern cars all look the same really.

    Body mounts poly vs rubber? casting poly?

    Expensive either way, which do folks prefer and why? I have polys bushes for my greaseable shackles, happy with them. If poly, who has had a go at casting themselves from poly casting resin. I saw on Jalopy journal site folks like them hard, like 80-95a shore hardness which is way firmer...

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Rust free satin troopy chassis.

    corolla recommendations which year?

    Well, so far looked at the 2016 hatch and the 2018 hatch, manual trans. We both hate autos, and low and behold the corolla autos had a big recall for them. The 2016 has more room in the boot and feels more connected to the driver, the 2018 has even more gizmos. I can't say I really like them...

    New H55 5 speed …is this normal shifting?

    sounds normal to me for the h55f

    New H55 5 speed …is this normal shifting?

    I use to think the h55f slow eternal change from 2nd to 3rd was due to age on my 1988 hj75 with a 2h, but after driving my mates 1996 hzj75 hz with h55f in pretty good nick I was relieved that it was exactly the same. The 70 series are meant to be rural workhorses, simple, basic, easy to fix...

    No front brakes after replacing front calipers

    Something similar happened to me on my hj75 when I put on new calipers. If the calipers, even when new, have been sitting around on the shelf for awhile, the pistons kind of seize, they need to be flushed with full contraction and full extension. Also, apparently, the fresh internal surfaces...
