Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by 4x4 bobby on Thu Oct 22, 2015 2:08 pm
After putting in the new engine i have had only one problem and that was the eml came on every now and again. I had a spare set of vacuum actuators so fitted them then looked at the vacuum pipe to the egr valve and sure enough there was a little nick in the pipe about 2" from the valve. I nipped it off and now she is spot on, no more light coming on! :thumbup: All i need now is a decent set of clocks and she is perfect again!!!!!! :dance:

Started the strip down to do head gasket/ head replacement ..but coz of the rain spent most of the afternoon rednecking a shelter out of a 5.4m x7m tarp and 2 x 4 m lengths of 2x1 some nylon rope and some cable ties . covered the whole car and the entrance to my mates (too full to take a car) garage.

Replaced two heads ,head gasket and several other gaskets .galleons of water and oil .and when I put her all back together last night she ran like a bag of ball bearings in a washing machine .. But I carried on this morning and re-torqued the head bolts and now she runs like a dream and no water leaks .the bad running last night might just have been air in the fuel system .So another one lives to fight another day :)

forgot to add that the superb write up from Keith (Rifleman) on the subject was a great help ..
