It smoked for a bit after this but then it cleared up so I'm think just some oil that got where it shouldn't have been during shipping. There are two things not working the oil pressure gauge and the tachometer. Any ideas what could cause both of those? Now I just need to get the throttle cable sorted, axles in and the shifter cable modified.
-
Oil pressure gauge needs swapping from the 4age - it gives a pressure reading as opposed to the on/off the 3s variants have.
-
Ya talked to the seller and same thing he told me. Also figured out that the tach needs a different resistor on the back of the cluster.
-
Got the axles in tonight and went to reassemble the ball joint to the knuckle and had some resistance on one of the bolts. Look in there and one of the threads has a big bur on it. Hoping I can chase it out with a tap tomorrow because I don't want to drill and re-tap that.
-
would have thought the tacho would be ok - its the same number of cylinders after all....
-
Its not a counter issue like with the V6 it has to do with this engine being newer and using coil on plug so it has a low voltage tach signal. Guy I bought the engine from is sending me a MSD tach converter box that will fix it.
Got the rear suspension back together and the gear box oil filled. The fluid that came out was some of the nastiest I have seen

The list of remaining items before first drive is getting shorter everyday.
-Repair and mount exhaust
-Run throttle cable and tuck battery cable
-modify LH shifter cable
-Bleed clutch
-
oh the joy of the clutch bleed...... If you haven't got a vacuum bleeder, I'd suggest picking one up!
-
Hours of endless joy and massive leg muscles if you haven't got a clutch bleeder.
-
Just a thought, have you relocated the battery?

Tried to bleed it yesterday with a vacuum bleeder yesterday and kept getting air and fluid. Checked all of the lines and no leaks.
