    Also She's a bit fucked there Jim. Meant to be 160psi opening, best was closer to 130psi, worst was a good bit less and dribbly + shit spray patterns all around. Won't skip injector servicing again!!

    That was pretty much my concern too tbh Local diesel place said figure out the biggest angle I can do at once, then work it so I do the smaller amount first. So for example I need 105°, if I can get a 85° swing do the 20° first.

    Yeap I'm blaming the injectors for sure, I've been putting off getting them serviced for years and have put likely well over 200,000k on them and I've got no idea if the previous NZ owner ever got them done either. Had been getting a hot smell when climbing big hills (hot hot not coolant hot) for months now which I'd been blaming on my 3" exhaust being a bit close to something, that with the dump pipe cracking all the time makes me now think the EGTs were getting way up there + the Mrs pointed out we'd been noticing more black smoke for a while too. Dropping the injectors off to Ireland diesel this morning for rebuild with genuine Denso parts and yeah have a Kiwi head kit here ready to go on, came with a thick grade 5 gasket so once I measure piston height I might end up getting @GuyWithAviators to send down a genuine grade 3.

    Mint as, I thought that'd be the case but it's been 18odd years since I last dealt with stretch head bolts or really any head bolts that take more than 17nm to do up so thought I'd better double check ha

    One more likely stupid question, torque to angle bolts, specs for the new head is 40nm then 105° then 105° again, easy enough. But it's a van and there's a big steel structural part over and around the rearmost head bolts, I can't see any way to get a 105° swing in the gap so would say a 50° and a 55° turn in place of the 105° be the go or should I be figuring out a way to tilt the engine etc way forwards to get the full 105?

    Yeah between most people not bothering with the 100,000k injector rebuilds and others not keeping the coolant up to spec they've got a bit of a reputation. I'm one of the ones that kept putting off getting the injectors rebuilt, big pain of a job in a van, less of a job than the fucking head though haha

    This feels like it could be a @Hemi question, maybe. So I'm starting to pull off the head from my 1KZ, 99.9% sure it's cracked etc, started by pulling off the intake and throttle body (think Toyota call it a venturi) to get at the injectors so I can drop them in to be rebuilt etc. No real oil or schmoo to speak of to be found in the intake etc, mint. Inj 1: bit of carbon Inj 2: same same Inj 3 a lot of carbon AND wet oil all over the tip Inj 4: carbon and a tiny bit of oil Same story with the glow plugs. So yeah, trying to figure out how/why there's oil there? Cracked from the cam valley maybe? If it was a ring issue I'd have expected the oil to burn
  8. Got about 8 years out of my last Chinese head, till my slackness about getting the injectors rebuilt bit me in the ass.
  9. There's a few different fixes for this, might not be 100% but apparently this way gets him within a thou everytime
  10. Fuck gassy air con, boost = faster, faster = more air in the window, more air in the window = nature's air con. Solved.
  11. Come on man, you know it's time to ditch these Hondas and slip into the opulent luxury of the Daewoo Chairman H
  12. Might depend on the retailer, but I know my local Tradezone are happy to swap my Bunnings supplied bottle. The contract is with Coregas (although they are owned by the same company as Bunnings and Blackwoods anyway)
  13. NZ safety Blackwoods, plumbing world, Tradezone are all possible places to swap them. https://www.coregas.co.nz/store-finder?query=Wellington%2C+New+Zealand&storeType[]=tradeNGoGasStockist Bunnings are the cheapest for sure though (they own Coregas)
  14. It's because you're linking directly from Google Photos, you can't hotlink to Photos.
  15. I'd run a half decent semi synthetic 2t oil if it was mine. Oil pump is under the same cover as the front sprocket, will be a screw or small bolt close to where the oil line from the tank goes in, you just crack it until oil seeps out consistently without air bubbles. Suzuki recommend in the A50 manual running a small amount of premixed petrol and taking it easy until you see oil in the line by the carb, but they are a pretty hardy pump so I doubt you'll have any issues with it.
  16. Sweet score! F is the successor to the U series and predecessor to the FR models. You'll want to fill that side tank with 2t oil and bleed the pump ASAP, old Suzuki's have what they called CCI lubrication, the left crank bearing is oiled directly by a line from the pump and not from fuel. Depending on year it also is the main oil source for the big end bearing too, injected on the left of the left bearing, makes it's way through that into a plate that is pressed into a hole in the end of the crank pin.
  17. No, just park it on the trailer thanks.
  18. Good luck with the STA bends. I tried to save a few bucks with them too, the steel they've used is shit and seems to go brittle and crack. Had one completely snap off right after the flange of my turbo (before you think it was my weld failing it snapped about 10mm behind the weld) leaving me with a rather loud trip between Tauranga and Gisborne. Then another big crack further down by the muffler, I added extra bracing and this last WOF check they pointed out a hole about the size of a 10c coin just completely blown out with 2 big cracks spreading from it. Been a year and I'm about to remake my complete exhaust from better material.
  19. How many lines does it have? I'm spotting 4. In from tank, out to pump/rail, overflow back to tank and return from rail/fpr.
  20. Normally return line from fuel pressure regulator.
  21. This one's about 50kg of steel and however much 2mx4m of 20mm wood weighs, decent heft to it but still rolls super easy and smooth. And yes, I was rather proud of my cocoa
  22. Looks like I make gates now as well as mow lawns and all the other shit I find myself doing ha Chur @Geophy for the steel hook up + delivery and advice etc!
