During the process lost my PTO winch dog bone control arm and mounting are holding bracket which was also fabricated

Everything was installed and had a test drive before one more final coat of paint job photos as follows

wow, that looks great. Nice to enjoy all that hard work now.

Absolutely fantastic! Congratulations on a job very well done. Probably one of the most comfortable seating
arrangements in a 60 in the world. So what city can we see this driving around in?

Dude, nice job!! Enjoy it now...

 

[rlrajanant]

Test driven before final paint finish gave me goose bumps, consumed 4.5 liter of engine oil within 500km run, compression leak was quite bad. Planing to replace piston, rings, Also need valves set, valve guide set, stem seal set any recommendations where I can get the above parts? Couldn't find any eBay source except piston and rings.

Started to remove engine out

Awesome that you build as planned, try to find pistons with alfin inserts as they are better / upgraded.
I have not needed them for my hj but preparing when I need to, wait for more info.
But if you say it was fine (the video) maybe you are now burning the turbo oil cooler? so oil for cooling is burned by turbo?
The engine cant go from good to bad in a day?

from what i calculated from Precision website looks like will cross 1000 AUD with shipping, i can get a 12HT from UAE landing at my door for 2000 USD, so checking on that options to. btw is my H55F a direct bolt on with 12HT? What are the things i need to look into getting the 12HT engine? please throw some light, my LC is 86 model so what about gear box H55F matting to 12HT?

 

[cruiserpilot]

The 2H and 12HT share the same input shaft as far as I know so it shouldn't be an issue. IMO you are way further ahead to get a 12HT, good luck. Truck looks fantastic!

 

[GarethsSixty]

12ht is a bolt in

12ht is a bolt in

What about bell housing? Do I need a adapter plate?
