looks a nice clean engine. shame you will be covering it in mud! Not a shame at all haha ;) Nice for Nachaluva to have have a green sump, very fitting :) Yeah, I thought so lol The swap wasn't all plain sailing. When doing the timing belt, I swapped the EJ20 crank sprocket from a '00 NA Foz (EJ202)...

Nah, it's not leaking and the parts guy said he's hardly ever had to get one so I didn't bother. What inspection plate is that? The oil separation plate on the back of the engine? Mine is plastic but looks in good condition so I didn't bother with that either. This is how I held the cam sprocket in ...

I've already got the rear main seal, and the rocker cover gaskets, as well as the bolt seals. Also the oil pump seal. I might do the oil filler neck seal as well, but the PS pump seal should be fine as that's my current one & has no leaks. I asked at the dealership about the sump but he said there's...

Thats what I thought too but then I looked at Mum's Jazz, it does 2200rpm at 100kph & its only a little 1.5L.

With the bigger muddies on mine does 2800rpm at 100kph (GPS) & I got a bit over 8L/100km on the freeway even though those are really heavy

Awesome effort, I bet you're so glad to have her going again! :cool: Nice job on the oil feeders. I've been speaking to a few people who don't have them yet & their LR is already worn. On a built gearbox I would say they're essential. But yours is the 1st AFAIK to have that pipe feeding it directly ...

Part of the reason for the swap was watching how much low down torque you had pushing you up steep hills despite a heeeaaavy load :p The EJ22 with timing cover off: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/550/18382730124_8af4a77b8a_c.jpg Removing the crank bolt was easy, the crank pulley took some wiggling to...

Nice pics Pedro, sorry its taken me so long to say anything, been way too busy lately lol. Did everyone notice the ice buildup on the branches in the pic of the Blue Rag Range summit? A good 1cm of ice on the leading edge, deposited by a combination of fog, cold temp & icy Southern gale. The wind ch...
