  1. SO.......... basically I couldn't help my self. This came up for sale on here and I had to have it, becasue it was cheap, and I was going to where it was for sale anyway...... So the details. is a 1981 NZ New Toyota Crown. 227000km on the clock 5m motor with auto, and thats about it really haha. used to reside in napier, and came on these most yuck wheels, 14 inch 100 spoke wires. From memory it didnt look to bad on these wheels when it was all slammed out, and it did come with the cut springs it used to have, now has some sort of aftermarket springs in it that have some how jacked it to shit????? anyway, the story was when i bought it , it had an odd over heating problem. when i picked it up, it was running mint! drove it round napier for a bit with no problem. come a few hours later and it randomly over heated.. Interesting, but basicly i topped up the water and drove it back from Napier to wellington, no problems. (although i did swap the radiator cap with another i had,) Drove it round for a little bit, and noticed the temp was doing some weird things. Got My lovely lady Mourning CupCake to take it to Alltorques work for a wof, failed on a spot of rust, exhaust leak, and brakes pulling to one side. not to bad. Noticed at this point, that the water pump was original..... hmmm........ 227000km on an original water pump........ good going, but whats the bet its fucked inside. SO I started the hunt for a new one. Then, one morning on the way to work, it mega over heated........ Yip, the head gasket is fucked now for sure. So then came the fun stuff........ parked it in my shed and pulled it apart. its funny how quickly you can get things done with no distractions and a little no how. had the head off in about 40min. pretty happy about that. Besides one thing........... sometimes, even as a trained mechanic, you still make fuck ups. Mine was thinking that the reason the cam wheel bolt wont undo is because someone had fucked up the install at some point, however...... turns out they are left hand thread!!!!!!!! so I snapped it. woops, a bit embarrassing indeed. Moving on. I removed the water pump. Yip its fucked all right. I have no idea how I managed to get it down from napier. But im glad it worked. Also found the blow in the head gasket. right on the back cylinder. had the head skimmed by Grotty from Custom Works in lower hutt. Seems it had been leaking for some time thats for sure. took a bit of machining. Also. managed to get water pump and head gasket from repco. Dont normally use repco, but part master were fucking around. and I'm glad I did. Becasue they totally fucked up, and sold me the head gasket for $10 under there cost. Lol. So thats my story so far. have some pics. Strokers Life Not bad for an oldish girl, besides being jacked to shit Lovely Blown
