Intercooler out
Dizzy out
Plugs out
Found a poor connection to the Temp Sensor keeps dropping out to -45C.
Time for some new HT leads too.

Will be a while here. While I replace the bush for the steering column and few other bits that are accessible.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

On the flywheel there are 2 marks close to TDC
The manual says 7 degrees BTDC is the line. Is the drill mark TDC?

 

[cruisermatt]

I think that's backwards, the line is TDC and the BB is 7 or 8 degrees. I could be wrong.

I typed that wrong, I meant tithe other way around as you said, the line been TDC and the drill mark 7 degrees.

Coil pack has been arcing on 5 & 2
HT leads poorly fitted.

That is correct.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Upgrades.

Now with side/park lights built in I can look for a LED indicator to replace the last of the old lights.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

In and hooked up. Few minor issues as earth is not earth ( green and yellow) but the side lights. Black is earth.
Intermittent high beam from before install. Broken wire in loom.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Next up new Dizzy.

Machined to suit.

Anyone need a rotor arm and dizzy cap. PM me suits 3FE

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Well it was not the dizzy.

After knocking the plug while ruff idling trying to check the timing she stopped dead.
TDC set with strobe and wires twisted together and she start off the key every time.
Now just to solder a few bits together and she's purring like a kitten again.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Oh and found this while I was in there

Any one have a 3FE oil cooler laying around.

 

[beejay42]

Hey Matt, I just logged on (haven't in years) to try to find your email address- great to see you got your 40 back! My 42 is still skulking around marking its territory. Where did you buy? We bought in Nth Warrandyte. Will have to have a beer sometime. Wanted to ask you about cooling components for a small oil cooler for a motorbike. Cheers, Hans.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Well I had not noticed but on close inspection the oil cooler has been repaired before with liquid metal cement.
Grrrrrr

However I have a Dremal

All ready to be repaired properly.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Big Tks to Darren at TrikFab as always excellent work.

This weekend will see it re fitted and the oil replaced.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Oiled up.
Coolant filled
Fired up and purring
Oil cooler still leaks coolant :-(

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Been a while but Oil cooler replaced thanks to Dan Hull and his spares stash in Cali.

New Dizzy, Coil pack and Spark plugs fitted along with a new radiator, tiered Toyota wires replaced and Dizzy hard wired no connector at the dizzy one less plug to go wrong.

New 35" BFG Muddies

Tomorrow she back for a tune on the dyno at CSM in Seaford dropped in today.

New Led indicators. Functional will keep looking pics soon.
