Re: where is my Coolant going?
Unfortunately I have a cracked head ... Changed the water pump, took it for a 200km drive .... used about 220ml coolant. Took the head to the shop. 130 Australian dollars for the test as there was no visible sign of a crack, and bubbles from within .... coolant was evaporating into the oil system an...

Re: 2inch lift or more
If it's just so you can fit slightly bigger tyres why not lift the cab. Keep your cv's straight as you can and the centre of gravity low.

Re: Bell housing water/mud proofing
Thanks for the input Mud Dog, You're right, to seal it completely would take a fair bit of silicone. :) Mine has a huge rectangle hole at the bottom, same at the top and the sides have holes as well. I had a "chirping" noise coming from there and noticed it was from mainly from when I was ...

Bell housing water/mud proofing
Gday all ... I have just removed the motor from my 1kzte with 5 speed manual and have noticed a fair bit of dirt/mud in the bell housing and on the back of the motor. Has anyone ever sealed up their bell housing to make it waterproof? Thoughts on why they aren't water tight to begin with? Heat from ...

Re: Tyres
What most posts are saying is true .... I have 33's on mine .... had to get rims with -22 offset ... cut and bash the guards ... and they still rub at a certain angle under load. There is a power loss out on the road and I cant crawl slow .... ( I would have to change the diff centres to fix that = ...

where is my Coolant going?
I have a 3 litre turbo diesel that is using coolant at an increasing rate ..... now uses about 200ml every hundred or so kms... I've had it pressure tested ... no leaks. It starts a dream. No white smoke. No stuttering and runs very well with no power loss. I'm wondering where all the coolant is goi...

Re: EGR Blank
yep .... I thought as much ..there's more people that recommend it than what there is that don't ... I reckon I'll bite the bullet and blank it off. I'll wait 'til I can take everything off and clean it out ... manifold etc. 200 k+ km of soot been through there.
