Takeing bets

[rovercare]

Story goes, Supercharged 3.9, 200+ kays, 5 psi boost, LPG new, cooling system is excellent, 4 core rad, EL fans genuine ford not crap,

Had a tick for a while now:eek: like leaky manifold/sticky lifter, *cough* liner *cough*

Under boost and load, temp rises FAAAAAAAAST, pushes a bit of water out and we're cooking, not rapidly but quick, every 80ish kay's we're reaching 100c and stopping cooling and topping water, only taking 3-4l's

I'll be lifting the heads, tomorrow and I don't WANT/NEED an answer, just thought everyone would like a quiz and see if they can pick the fault from the symptoms, ask more questions and share you opinion:)

Bugger how do I add a pole now?

[sclarke]

I'll go the Liner as the problem............

I know of a LSE with the same symptoms... but his does not have a blower

[p38arover]

Sounds like my P38A when it had the slipped liner - right down to the light tick.

[weeds]

faulty engine mount

[Blknight.aus]

no, its got to be the auto....

the cooler for the auto is causing too much heat flow in front of the radiator and this is causing the over heating, the ticking is just the beat cancel on the radio.

If its not fitted with an auto then its the ambient rise in temperature caused by following a vehicle with an auto.

Nice theory:twisted:

Shhh, dont say that:mad:




:D:DI'm thinkin the same:angel:

[Blknight.aus]

in all seriousness, assuming that the tappets rule themselves out as the cause to the tick then my moneys on a liner slipping and assuming that the cooling system is actually A1 and the tappets are noisey then its a liner gone porous.

but either way its block work

[lokka]

Head gasket or liner one of the 2 take out the plugs the cleanest one will be the one with added water injection :D:D:D

[Dougal]

It's gotta be the muffler bearings.:)

[Sprint]

my money is on the headlight fluid being low

[Bigbjorn]

Loose boiler stays

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Possibly the power aerial?

[Basil135]

Personally, I would be checking the voltage drop between the top of the air intake cover, and the point 15 cm inside the exhaust measured from the rear, at the 2 o'clock position.

Should the voltage be + /- 10% of the difference in the voltage between the point on the windscreen where the rego sticker is, and the 8 o'clock position on the spare wheel, then there is your problem.

The solution is simple thou. Put your car on a trailer (most important - dont drive it any further), and bring it to me. I will arrange for it to be disposed of in the most efficient manner, minus a small handling fee ofcourse (currently 87.6294% of reimburstment of disposal fee)

Problem solved.

[dobbo]

Didn't you just go to Van Demon's land?

There's your cause,

problem slipped liner No: 6 cyl

[LandyAndy]

Your intake air is getting in too slow causing the supercharger to cook everything!!!!You need one of those ebay intake supercharges to speed it up,cheap as to fix,around $30 inc delivery:p:p:p:p

[Blknight.aus]

it needs a hiclone...

on top of fixing the overheating the additional economy and power gains will render the supercharger superflous so it can be removed to be sold to some unsuspecting sap thus enhancing the wallet and lightening the vehicle.

With the money gained a second hiclone could be fitted in reverse on the exhaust pipe (might need 2 if its got duals) and between the weight savings of removing the supercharger and the preformance gains from the multiple hiclones setup will result in the engine developing soo much power that it will actually suck the left over hydrocarbons out of the atmosphere force them backwards up the the injectors to be condensed by the cooling effect of the existing fuel in the system to pool in the fuel tank. When full this can be sold off to less suspecting fools to further line your wallet.

[rovercare]

Pulled it, no slipped liner, no blown head gasket:(

BUT, damaged piston tops and a chink of steel in 1 pot similar in size to the tip of a medium flat blade screwdriver:eek:

No damage to bores, has been bouncing on the outside of the piston for a LOOONG time, till it lodged in the head

SO, I'm deciding if its diesel time, shuck it on another 3.9, new pistons, reassemble or buy a Toyota:p

Still to find the heat prob, will drop water pump and thermostat tomorrow and go from there

Atleast I think I found the ticking:D

I'd put money on it being something to do with the hot chick in the passengers seat... well, not actually put money literally on... oh never mind. :(

Have you met his lovery lady????

I have this feeling that I'm now in a lot of trouble. :(

[rovercare]

She's the only nice part about me:D

[loanrangie]

Found the problem yet ? My old rangie when it blew a tin gasket was making the tick. tick. noise, wasnt loosing coolant or overheating but compression was leaking and causing the ticking of the valley gasket. Also had a similar noise caused by one of the air pump head ports leaking.

[Bushie]

It's gotta be the muffler bearings.:)

Beat me to it. :(

When was the last time you topped up the dilythium crystal, after all we know all Landies need more power;)

Did a comp. test before I pulled it apart, 120-135psi all pots, so nothing wrong there

water pump was like new, didn't bother with thermostat, its gonna get dieseled now anyhow I think:D, needs a full pull down to check the pistons anyhow, so might wack something in for now, till I find a decent diesel substitute:angel:

[timaus13]

Hello Matt & Emily I am of the opinion that whilst on the West Coast with our group and during ure track marking strategy to lead the way for us slower movers, u have injested a convict into the snorkel and then into the blower he is tapping morse code to escape as he is no longer in Van Diemans Land and is feeling a little out of place.:D:cool::D
Just a theory I have

I thought you had Damo's Chev diesel up there or is it sold already?

Or are you thinking of adding a lot more noise under the bonnet and fit a 4BD1-T?

I would have put some Melb cans on a head gasket but I would have lost them then wouldnt I :D

Hehe, I think it ingested to many diesel fumes tailing JC:D

EEWWWWWWWWWWW, besides, I've already had a 6.2 chev dieseled RR:D oh yea, its gone now

The options is 4BD1 if I can get a wreck for a reasonable price, had alook at one the other day, hit TOOOOO hard in the front:mad:

Or 13BT with LT95:(

[Vern]

or td5:p

13B-t is a crappy little Mazda Rotary, not enough power for you Matt and a horrible note from the exhaust :D

I take it it's another 13BT that your talking about :p

[mcrover]

You could always fit a yota ot Nissan Diesel 6 pack :o

To much work to do a nice job, measured THAT one up years ago:D

[mcrover]

EEEEWWWWWWWWWWW x infinity:mad:

Im with you there :eek:

[timaus13]

U could take Stooge up on his offer, but keep the car and let the blower n motor go:D:D:D
All things mechanical love him:D

[Vern]

Just isuzu/t700 it:)

[rovercare]

Just isuzu/t700 it:)

Told ya, but one and i'll fit it for knicks, that poor rangie just sitting their, needs a new heart:D

Then I can decide if I like it:angel:

[sclarke]

Wreck it.... i need the roof, and upper tailgate....

[DaveS3]

I'm with Clarkie.

I know of a good home for the blower :cool:

[Vern]

Really need to mate something to a ZF, that would be easiest. I still think the 4BD1T will destroy one but what about a different isuzu motor?

[rovercare]

Its, for sale;)

You interested?

[rovercare]

Piddly little thing? Pffft, might aswell have a tdi, don't wanna be THAT slow:p

Just wanna bolt it in and make it move for the moment, If I get something before mid next week, I'll still make my trip away 9-11th of may, will be busy but:D

[rovercare]

Oh yea, forgot about this

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/05/371.jpg

Chunks of metal floating around in the bore aren't a good thing,, this is what I found and the sole reason for not reassembling and keeping the blower, the chunk had been there a loooooooong time and had ended up recessed in the head, I could have reassembled, but having that in the back of my mind, while spinning 5500rpms up a hill, just didn't take my fancy

And a good excuse to try an IZOOZOO, now it'll be 3200rpms on the governor:(, I wonder how it'll go if I lift the governor speed a little:angel::twisted:

[rovercare]

Mmmm, cant make that much out of that pic:(, well the little dents in the psiton @ 6 o'clock, are big yucky chunks:eek:

[rovercare]

Oh yea, the short has been donated to a mate racing production class in the Engel winch challenge series, I must get some stickers made to put on my panels he's got on it now to:D

Some High comp pistons, hone, cam ring and bearing it'll be apples
