    12HT rodbearings. ACL or Toyota

    As long as you are not revving it over 4000rpm and not exceeding 1000 F exhaust temp (every second of the day) you are not hurting it . In fact the more load the better, less chances of smooth boring the cylinder walls.

    HJ61 Possible sensitive throttle fix

    On our HJ 61 , I find that if your foot is in it , The gas pedal stiffens up a bit. It can get a bit squirmy on the lower rev side of the pedal especially going down a real bumpy road at low revs and shifting . It is a complex set-up and I also believe that governor fly-weights can...

    AFTER watching a 3 ton Mitsu going down the road yesterday with the noisy automatic . I would say that you are in the ballpark. Rolling 50 to 65 is really slow
