I was sure it sounded like you had blown the welds on your intake manifold, but that is usually fairly easy to diagnose because the floor pans drop out....

Rb engines actually rotate in the opposite direction to most. This means that the inertia of the reverse rotation will cause conrods to loosen after a while. Can be fixed with "nulon stay done up ya bastard"

I came here thinking you guys were friendly.

Thanks for proving to me that you guys suck.

Sorry I bothered.

Thanks for being mature about all of this.

Honestly mate,

All jokes aside, go and reread what you said in your first post, think about it logically.

What you actually did was modify a car of unknown running condition and then proceeded to thrash it.

Now I realise it is your own property and money, but you have to be realistic and expect this type of response when you show what I would term a massive lack of respect for your car, not to mention making some very silly choices leading to your current problem.

We may be harsh mate, but you should think before you do something like that.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
