  1. Beauty cheers Tortron, has a 4.875 in it at the moment. Coupled with the low and wide 14s it puts the speedo out by around 15km at 100.
  2. Ok guys n girls. What diff heads will fit in the old turd? I am guessing any of the l200/pajeros up to the mid 90s, when all the platforms changed. Ideally want a 3.9 lsd.
  3. One of my projects for the lockdown. Bought at the start of march possibly the biggest wof list i have ever seen. Have been over it and can only think they were trying to drum up work. Failed every joint and bush in the steering, so i replaced the idler arm bushes and presto only a smidge of play left in the pitman arm. Failed all leaf/shackle bushes for 'cracking' but only actually needed shackles so replaced them. They passed the visible smoke coming from the motor however, not sure how as it is toast. With the help of some thin rope i replaced the valve stem seals on a wing and a prayer. Did not change f all. Scored a 4g63 sohc to drop in that needee a headgasket, pulled head and checked over, clean enough for a slap together build. Waiting on head gasket to turn up so have got it jacked up waiting on me to remove the control arms for a sandblast and paint. Can't rush these things though.
