Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Stupid zeds. Was meant to pull my engine out yesterday but got distracted doing a plenum pull on a mates zed. Easy enough, but then he wanted to check timing belt was on correctly (which it was) while waiting for mobile injector guy to test/clean injectors.

Put everything back together and it had a massive boost leak. One of the rail insulators was minced and spewing fuel and air. So had to pull plenum and fix and re-install.

Finished about 9pm last night (started about 10am).

3 plenum pulls in 2 days FML.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
