Happy to know my pain is for your gain!

I spoke to the re-builders this morning. They confirmed that the chain indeed chewed into a water channel in the timing chain housing. They could not find a replacement housing and sent the existing one for repair. (presumably to be welded)
Looking forward to having my bakkie back!!!!

Like this?
Inlet manifold gasket allows for the EGR as well. This part should not be needed on RSA 22R's

Ps. Maybe someone with a good 22R can check on their engine to confirm that the EGR port and bolt holes were not somehow blanked off?
Thanks
Pieter

There is place for mounting an EGR unit on the head, firewall side of the intake manifold. On SA 22R's this unit was not fitted and the bolt holes where the flange would normally mount is just left bare. The oil pouring from that hole is just a symptom and not the cause. water is getting into the oi...

Mud Dog: The bolt hole that leaks oil is on the rear of the engine behind the inlet manifold. Piet: Head gasket being re-used is a real possibility. They are coming to collect the vehicle today and I will report back as soon as I have more info. I am not real happy handing over my bakkie to them, bu...

I suspect I know what is going on here.... Since the head was skimmed and new head gasket fitted we should be able to rule that out. Since the timing chain guides came out broken and it is now pissing oil/ water from a bolt hole that should not have pressurized oil or water behind it, my theory is t...

Got the engine back on Friday. Spent last night and this morning putting her back. Come time to fire her up, she runs smooth, but there is water in the oil again. Also oil pissing out a bolt hole in the top where the EGR valve would be mounted if fitted. (EGR valve not normally fitted to SA engines ...

Thanks guys, that is what I thought as well. They stripped the engine again and is now busy cleaning everything. I will go and inspect before they start assembling again.
What else should I be looking/ measuring for to ensure job was done properly?

Hi Guys, The 22R engine in my '97 SFA blew a top gasket beginning of December. I was on my way home late one night when the oil light came on. Knowing there was oil and watching the temp gauge, I slowly did the last 5 km to Paarl so I could assess the situation. As I turned into the main road I coul...

I am also considering the swap from 22r to Diesel. (WL seems to be the obvious choice) What would a realistic cost estimate be for 1. Having it done by a pro, and 2. in part form if I do the install myself? Is 33" tyres realistic on a SFA to negate the change of gear ratios, or would that open ...

Haboob, Thank you for the advice. I will check to see if I can pick up any signs of excessive wear. I have tried the "rev and let go" strategy many times before and never did it make any difference. This vehicle still have some electrical gremlins popping up at regular intervals and I am w...

The idle on my Toy has been irregular for the past couple weeks. Idle is steady, but would sometimes run at 750 like it should and sometimes it would just idle at 1400 - 2000RPM for no apparent reason. Last week Tuesday on my way to work i switched it off at a traffic light and when i switched it ba...

Thank you all for the replies. I am going to run it like this with rimula x for a couple thou kilo's and compare rockers with pics taken. If there is an improvement, i will keep going. If not I will think of plan b. Best weekend to all!

Thank you for the replies guys, I can well imagine that damage have been suffered by now. The bakkie is really sluggish and thirsty compared to what I am used to and I have never owned a petrol vehicle before this one. What are we looking at $$ wise talking A: parts, and B: Labour should I have it d...

Hi Guys, I serviced my Toy this weekend and got the fright of my life when I took the tappit cover off to adjust valve clearances. Bakkie is a 1996 SFA DC Raider with 22R 2.4 petrol engine, 205 000Km on the clock. See what you think of this and where do I go from here? If you wanted to say "do ...

Dankie Andy,

Ek gaan die naweek onder hom induik en sal dan kyk of ek sy probleem kan opspoor.

Ek vermoed die breather op my hilux se tank is verstop of vas ge roes/vries/gom/sweis/haak....is sodra die bakkie bietjie in die son gestaan het of die temperatuur bietjie optel dan brom iets by die tank wir 'n paar sekondes asof hy 'n elektriese perolpomp het. Hy doen dit al is die battery ontkoppe...

Ek het gou onder die bakkie ingeduik om die load sensor te beloer. Die lang rod wat die load sensor met die diff verbind is baie verbuig en die arm is op sy boonste limit by die load sensor asof die bakkie tot maks gelaai is. Load sensor kan dus niks verder beweeg as vrag gelaai word nie. My bakkie ...

Baie dankie vir die inligting, klink of ek solank die blokke moet nadersleep... Ek het onlangs die voertuig 2de hands gekoop en dit sal seker nie skade doen om maar alles self weer deur te gaan nie. Ek is bang vir die bakkie op grond (en teer) want brieke wat vasslaan klink vir my na moeilikheid wat...

My Hilux SFA se arter wiele gryp as ek net effens hard op die briek trap. Ek praat nou nie van pedaal wegtrap nie, maar trap geleidelik en dan ewe skielik gryp die brieke dood vas sonder waarskuwing. Ek het nog nie oopgemaak om te kyk nie, en wil graag eers julle raad inwin voor ek hom op blokke sit...

Kan iemand al meer terugvoer gee oor hoe die bande doen op grond en teer? Gee hulle myle en het hulle grip?
enige slegte ondervindings met hulle?

Dankie
Pieter

Ek het 'n oorspronklike (ek glo so) SFA 2.4 (22R) 4x4 DC Raider Volgens oorspronklike dokumentasie: Model: RN67R-MDPNS Beskrywing: Hilux LWB 4x4 D/cab Raider Engine: 22R Kleur: PT90 Trim: TR2G Datum: 02/96 My Hilux het wel die plat paneel regs van die stuurwiel met immobiliseerder socket, maar geen ...

Nog nie 'n tracker nie, maar 'n helse hoop los drade handsfree kit en ........ nog black boxes! Daar het 'n Shurlock remote alarm system uitgekom wat nie meer opgekoppel is nie, en dan 'n "nuwe" alarm/ imobiliser wat lyk of hy net op die ou sisteem se drade ingesplice is. Groot klomp drade...

Dit wil voorkom of dit die Central locking is. Ek sal maar die drade op standaard moet kry en vrede maak met die swart boksie....
Nou vir die ander remlins...

Geen name op die black box of PCB binne nie, maar hoe meer ek na hom en sy nes drade kyk, hoe groter die behoefte om hom uit te haal. Ek gaan van die drade probeer trace om te sien of ek sy funksie kan bepaal. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/zoeper/WP_20140915_001_zpsbd250e04.jpg http://i261...

Dagsê almal! Ek het onlangs my eerste SFA 4x4 aangeskaf en was sederdien gepeper met elektriese Gremlins wat orals uitdop! Ek het nou begin om al die vorige eienaar se modifikasies aan die bedrading uit te strip en alles wat nie meer gebruik word nie skoon te maak. Onder die "fuse box" kom...
