  1. It would appear that someone has replaced one of them in the past. The metric actual axles are only a couple of mm's shorter than a imperial. So you will find that an metric axle will fit fine in an imperial diff, but not necessarily the other way around. The metric drive flange bolts are thicker than the imperial ones. So you will find the imperial bolts will allow a metric axle to be fitted, but not the other way around. But this would mean a sloppy fit for the metric axle.
  2. Do you mean something like this:
  3. I am not sure what year they changed. But if you pull the axle you can tell. If the stub axles have a groove in them to hold the locking washer it is imperial. If they have a flat edge rather than a groove, they are metric. I am pretty sure yours will be imperial, but it only takes a couple of minutes to pull and axle out and have a look. The wheel drive end of the axle is flatter on the metric ones with the imperial ones being more of a mushroom head.
  4. I have goodyear duratreks. They are a relatively new tyre. They are an aggressive all terrain. I find that they tackle most situations well.
  5. It would appear not: http://members.shaw.ca/jbarge/springinfo.html
  6. You might want to check whether it is earthing out properly by using a multimeter on the base of the sender and to a different earth while the sender is mounted.
  7. Count the number of bolts holding the swivel to the diff housing. They should swap over if they have the same number of bolts
  8. I had one motor recently with 3 slipped liners in it. They ranged from very obvious to very hard to notice. None were causing any coolant loss. Most of the slipped liners that I have been involved in had nothing to do with cracked blacks or coolant loss/pressurisation. All motors are decked as part of their building process. Therefore the top of the liners should be PERFECTLY in line with the block all the way around. If your fingernail can feel something on the join between the two, you most likely have a slipped liner. They can basically stop in any position, so they can stop right at the top of the bore.
