Hi everyone, im back again.
As you will remember I last posted stuff about terrible fumes coming into the cab and problems with stopping the injectors leaking and a air in fuel problems as it seemed as it kept cutting out and i kept finding air in it again and again.
Finally I got one thing sorted out as I found out it was a knackered lift pump sucking a small amount of air into the system continually.
So changed that. Horrahh!
The injectors seemed to stop leaking for a while after alot of fiddling and the pipe unions too.
But now they are off again leaking like before, i accept that really i should have never bought bearmach injecotrs in the first place as they are leaking actually from the middle of the injectors as well which is ridiculous.
But i was just wondering could this be a problems with back pressure in the engine.
I know i need to correctly do the timing and i have recently done a compression test on the engine and the cylinder readings were as follows:
Cylinder 1= 320psi
Cylinder 2= 360psi
Cylinder 3= 340psi
Cylinder 4= 340psi
Which,going by the guidelines in the haynes manual would mean they are not far enough out of spec of each other, only a max difference of 3psi.
I also know i need to get better injectors as these quite frankly as absolute rubbish from start to finish and after having them tested by a diesel engineer showed that they arent atomising well at all.
I been checking the Land rover over for gaps and as to where the fumes could get in and to be honest theres quite a few,ha ha, as firstly the doors need replacing and sorting out with news seals ect and floors seals and under seat lift up compartment seals need sorting.
Anyway, not to worry too much about all that.
Ive replaced one of the four leaking seals on the hubs and also replaced the bearings on the same side and renewed seal on swivel ball. That was fun!
Today i decided to find out why the handbrake dosent work, and realised the drum was smeared in oil all round so cleaned it all out and am going to buy new shoes and transfer output seal ect.
But lastly I wanted to ask some advice.
I am thinking that at some point I would like to maybe put a 300tdi into my Land Rover 90 1985 B reg 2.5n/a.
Is there any awkward fabrication needed and would i need a gearbox from a 300tdi or could i use mine. ect ect ect ect ????????
Hope you guys can help me with some advice please?
Thanks
Julian
