my long lost ratchet
home built mount for something

i have found that when a tranny isn't sitting up right or tilted on it's tail the reverse selctor can move jaming the shifters. if you pull the back up light sending unit and take a screw driver, push the shifter back int place through that hole.
this might have been your problem or maybe not. i have had this happen more than once on trannies that were shipped to me...
cheers

Can anyone identify these parts? I think they are off the front of my RHD FJ73.:confused:

Clue: They seem to have power steering fluid on them from an old leak.

If you can help ,please post a pic if possible.:idea:

Ross, the part on the right is a splash guard from the right side of the engine. Forget it, it won't fit the 1HZ. I've also seen the other parts lying around, I have no idea where it is from, but it's not needed.

That sounds like the problem
I suspected there was a simpler fix than removing the whole engine/tranny but I couldnt wait for an answer.

Dave the 1HZ gets its pulse from the sensor on the injector pump.
I will just be using the old wiring to get it into the dash cluster

I thought the 2H got its signal from the flywheel??

correct. tach sensor is on the bellhousing and signal comes form a magnet in the flywheel.

maybe it differs from year to year.
we are just tearing down/building up a 84 hj60, and the stock tach sensor is definitely on the bellhousing.

A diesel cruiser was born

I ran out of light yesterday bleeding the air out of the fuel system so I got up at 6am and had another go.

I pulled all the glow plugs out ,spun the engine until I had fuel at 3 injector trunnions. It took about 20-30- seconds of cranking to get the fuel up.
I tightened everything up,shorted the glowplugs straight from the battery and it coughed some grey smoke and burst into life at 7 am.

It idled so smooth and quietly,even wtih half an exhaust and no muffler that the neighbours must have been real impressed too:rolleyes::D

I got some little jobs like getting proper glowplug relay,exhaust,coolant overflow bottle and some rubber brake vaccumm hose for the booster.

Im looking forward to taking it on along drive for a picture shoot:D

i know it does for me...
cheers
