Well, went insane ordering new parts.

turbo rebuild kit
Safari snorkel
switches

head bolts
Nolathane sway bar bushings


and of course what kind of update would this be without something pink!

My exedy heavy duty clutch arrived. woohoo. thanks to bakerboy for hooking me up.

More parts!! woohoo

My turbo rebuild kit


And the head bolts:

Engine is out!!

woohoo. wasn' t to bad of an ordeal to get out. found a few faults to go along with out, but that was expected. nothing to major. all maintenance really.

Gotta have the goods right? Jackie packed me a lunch and I have my tunes. away we go!!


And away we go: I move it in and out of the shop with my pajero! steel bullbars are awesome sometimes. LOL






Power steering and oil cooler removed: diesel oil cooler is 2x the size of the patrol version


Radiator removed:


Driverside stripped:



Drive shafts removed:


Gear shifters removed:


Engine hoist in place!!!


You will notice that the bullbar is removed... couldnt get the hpoist in close enough.


I noticed this stream of oil from behind the headlight after removal... almsot looks like a stream of tears after I tore her heart out... how poetic..


Block out:


Intersting find with the clutch, factory pressure plate, exedy clutch disc, intersting, quite burnt, looks like it was replaced without machining. crack in the disc itself, the pressure plate had seen better days to, the throw out bearing was eating it away at a nice pace.

Worn disc:


Crack:


Heat scorching:


Throwout bearing wear marks:

Bottom end gasket kit arrived:

Nice. I love these type of threads. Keep the pictures coming!

Today was about cleaning the block so there was no oil on it, it will get a full reseal so there will be no more oil leaks... Thanks to Dan for showing up and giving me a hand. turned out not to bad:







The tranny/transfer case were not so easy.. here is a start, it is sitting overnight with degreaser on it so tomorrow I have a better shot at cleaning it again...

Was an excellent week for new parts arriving!!

Started with my maps showing up: canning stock route, anne beadell highway and wa's top 50 treks.







Then my led light up switches arrived:


Iron man recovery kit:




Repair manual, pdf version. everythign I need for the diesel at least.



The best for last, My safari snorkel, been waiting a few weeks for this to arrive. cant wait to install it.

Its legit: no fake stuff here

Well, washing parts then working soaked for a few hours last night maybe was not the best idea. I am sick as today. oh well. lesson learnt. Mainly jsut showed up to clean the tranny/transfer case up. looked okay. I will let it stay this way till it is installed then will hit it with a proper pressure washer at the car wash one day, will have more power.

The oil pan, tranny brace, fan, and fly wheel are in the pajero for cleaning in the robo wash.

All cleaned up:






This is the only bit of damage is this torn boot, still looking for a new one.

Got a few new parts today, woohoo

Roo lights, 220's with 100 watt bulbs

complete with harness:




Body lift: 25mm, needed so that I dont loose any clearance with sliders installed.

take the boot to your local CV shop to see if they can match one for you.
