puddles Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Happens all the time with Peugeot 1.6 turbo petrol engines. The factory ngks can start to do this at 20000 km. causes check engine light misfire codes etc. I think they're changed every 40000km 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Ragtop Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hey guys, go a wee problem with my supercheap sandblaster, it must have a leak somewhere, when you pull the trigger it starts blasting but quickly is just air coming out no media. Nothing seems blocked, I even took the media pick up hose off, filled up a small pot of sand and stuck the gun directly in, still the same. Any thoughts before I chuck it out and buy another?

UTERUS Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I've had to pull apart the gun a few times to clean out the venturi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentra Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Block the nozzle and pull trigger to blow all the shit back out the pickup whenever ive used those little cabinet blasters you have to do this every like 20 seconds, once we tried messing with diffirent garnet and guns with no success and just put up with it. must be missing the magic.

Steelies Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Anyone had success with casting engine mounts outa sikaflex or similar? cast the odd bits and pieces out of 2 part silicone and 'craft' some things from hi-temp gasket poo type stuff here at work. one little nick and you can tear the whole lot apart no matter how big the chunk is. very much nothing like rubber at all.

Ghostchips Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Anyone had success with casting engine mounts outa sikaflex or similar? Urethane is stronger and more resilient. i have used it for lighter things than engine mounts and guess if you had those through bolt type mounts they'd be no real problem.

RUNAMUCK Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 There's a "suspention" style volvo mount that people "fix" by pumping them full of goo of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesae101 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 people used to fill toyota ae 92,101,111 mounts full of sikaflex due to them breaking to make them more robust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 So I'm planning to give some leaf springs a spruce up. Sand up and paint. But I'm also going to grease between the leaves to reduce stiction. What kind of grease Is best for This? I currently have tac2 and wheel bearing grease I once saw an antique racecar with leather sheaths sewn over the front leaves to keep tje grease in.

kicker Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 So I'm looking at having a diff narrowed and have a question about spline engagement. Axles have about 45mm of spline on them and have about 28mm of engagement currently (shaft diameter is about the same), I'm looking at shortening each one by a max of 25mm so am looking at options for shortening the axle, one obviously being cutting some off the end. I may only need to take 20mm off but if I was to take 25 off would the remaining spline left to engage be adequate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Main thing is to make sure they engage in the right place. I made the mistake of cutting down my axles a little too much. They had plenty of spline engaged, but didn't quite make it into the thick part of the side gear. This happened: Otherwise, the trd diff center that replaced this only has 20mm of spline available. so you should be good with around 20mm of spline. This is on a hilux diff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
