fletch Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 15 hours ago, RUNAMUCK said: The problem I see is, if the cylinder miss fires, theres nothing to pull the piston down the bore, and it would lose contact with the wavy thing. From there, theres probably no recovery? Also I dont get how it starts without the combustion to keep the follower in contact with the ramp??? I'm surprised your favorite method of combustion chamber pressurisation has not entered the chat... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Amayama pro question I'm looking for some tail light parts for the truck, and not sure I'm getting the right piece. I'd like a RH light/lens assembly, and maybe the wiring assemblies for each side. Any pointers / ways to cross check? I've already got a repro LHS (Depo 08-212-1964L-B) Following the chassis number leads me here, but they don't look quite right in the drawing Rear combination lamp for Toyota Town Ace YM65 - Amayama Left hand one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Not really worth paying attention to their drawings, they are usually pretty generic. If the chassis number matches and the year is right then you're probably good to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It says in the "Applicability" line that its "type A", which is the top diagram that matches the light in the photo As we say on an almost daily basis at work; diagrams are indicative only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Customer has a toymota passo that won't start. I've got to get out here for some work and wondering if I can tow it the flat 6km needed. It has a 4 speed auto so apparently no. But is that gospel? I always thought most things can be safely towed a few kms without damaging things.

tortron Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The trans doesn't like it because there's no fluid getting pumped through, pumps not spinning, but the output is spinning from being towed. Generally it's considered OK if its less than 25km and you don't exceed 40kph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Flat towed my old auto rav4 to mechanics 8km low speed. Thrashed that thing for years and no issues, so it can't be too bad if the above rules are followed. Wasn't it's first tow either as I helped the original owner tow it home after it sheared the cam pulley off the cam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Mate flat towed his c10 at high speed a relatively short distance, and it had no gears after he fixed the distributor.. it's dependant on the lubrication / heat dissipation as @tortron suggests.

Bling Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 That would make sense, desirability wise. '97 here, just took it slow as you suggest. But who wants to flat tow fast around town anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datlow Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I'm sure I've been feed a sharn about maybe that ^, meaning it disengages the speedo so can be sold as low k rav after being towed around the island for several years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pick a sunny day and we can bumble along at a sedate pace alongside the lagoon and probably only ever see a tourist driving a tiida even slower then us.

Making them desirable for RV motor home types How would that work? If it doesnt pump fluid till the output shaft spins. Then even with the motor running itll never go in gear because its not moving so its go no line pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
