Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Pulled the engine out of the 6X6 today to replace the clutch and rear main seal. Found that the clutch was totally stuffed as I expected from oil from the leaking rear main and even the pressure plate was not salvageable because of scouring on the surface. Lucky I have a Heavy duty clutch kit on the way. While I am at it I decided to pull the oil pump cover off and replace the oil control ring and spigot shaft seal - just as well I did as I discovered my gearbox has the old bakelite type oil pump gears in it - I thought it would have had the later steel oil pump seeing as it it a late model (1998) . A couple of other things that needed attention was the throwout bearing which had separated where the sleeve and the housing join, the spigot shaft housing extension was floating around loose and the clutch fork pivot post was loose in the housing. So to sort it all out, new extreme HD clutch kit, new throwout bearing, new type steel oil pump kit, new seal and oil control ring, modified pivot post with locknut and new slave and master cylinder plus a new spigot bush. The old one was easily removed by filling the spigot bush holder with grease and inserting a dummy spigot shaft and then hitting it with a hammer - a few hits and the bush was out. Photos to follow tomorrow hopefully.

ah. ok.
still worth doing if she's due a major service.
otherwise I'd still at the very least do the engine oil. that's a must after the engine having a drink.

Hi Brian,
Is there any way of telling if this mod has been done other than taking the oil pump apart? I am guessing that it would be part of the modifications register and nominated on the mods ID plate but I cant find which number the mod would be. Am I on the right track?
Thanks for the write up. Photo's will be great.
Regards,

Truck looks great. What size are the rims and tires? And rim offset?

Also, any reason for removing the bullbar? And did it come with those side vents?
