Thread: Takeing bets

She's the only nice part about me

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.

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, needs a full pull down to check the pistons anyhow, so might wack something in for now, till I find a decent diesel substitute

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.
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
