hey guys...few questions.. just little things but yeah

1. external gate...bought one no long ago and installed it myself... although there are 2 vacuum ports... i have only one connect (the middle one ) to my cooler piping but there is another on the end of it.... i read somehwere that the other goes to the plenum... but in that case which hole?? but yeah i kinda dont understand..there was a forum topic on it but none of the pics worked ect.... so yeah i htink the one i dont have connected is the one on the diaphram.. but the car holds boost fine and everything.. so yeah

2. gapping my plugs atm.... and i know i am supposed to have them at 0.8 mm ...but i have a gapping hting and the closests is 0.813 ?? ... am i being fussy?? or should i change that ??

3. i recently blocked off my BOV ( with a rubber plug and a cap hose clamped on) but i was wondering... is it poosible for the rubber plug to be sucked in or sumthin and then pushed through to the engine??... i know that sounds highly unlikely but.. just image if that happened!! also.. the BOV had a vacuum hose to the plenum which i also blocked off.. if the wastegates hose does go to the plenum could i put it where the BOV hose was??

thanx guys i know its a stupid post but sumtimes i jhust wanna sort things out

thanx all

1. hose goes to boost controller, it holds boost fine, but it wouldn't be dumping.

2.nothing to worry about, if its running fine, its running fine.

3. use a metal plate with sealer [if I understand the question]

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
