dan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi mate, if she is running OK I would leave well alone, she will keep on running for years! If you are determined, well here you go: Valve clearences (hot) inlet: 0.3mm (0.012in.) Exhaust: same as. Torque settings Rocker shaft bolts 58Nm (43 lbf ft) Cylinder head bolts 260 Nm (192 lbf ft) with lightly oiled threads. Have you got a picture of her - I will have a look now. Have fun Regards Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin craig Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Nice looking truck mate. What is the problem exactly that you are trying to fix, I am a bit lost as to what the gist of it was. Who added the side bars, was that a previous owner? Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin the problem was/still is a very small amount of oil weeping between the cyl head and block behind the exhaust manifold seems to be a common problem but very annoying as i thought the work done would have cured it problem may be the piston rings or block but not sure. i think i will live with it for now the side bars were fitted by previous owner dont know who by could find out if needed though. thanks paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
