Balance Belt - Who is choosing NOT to run one?
Rather than start a poll I thought I would ask this straight out, partly because I just F&#)'ing snapped the upper bolt of the tensioner inside the block and I keep reading this and that about viability of the silence shafts. * The lower runs an auxiliary oil sprayer (light duty) that may or may...

Re: 1991 Battle Star Landram Projekt
Thanks again dude for all your tips. I'm still at it. Had a layoff running a few races including my first 50 mile trail run. :) Anyway, I'm in the assembly stage. Here's a pretty shot of things a little cleaner than they used to be. 20160424_123857.jpg Timing belt is on as you can see, marks stick a...

Re: What's Happened To Partsbase.org?
Well, I went there, clicked on Mitsubishi, clicked on Japan, clicked on Delica Starwagon/Van and got: "Hrm. Wayback Machine doesn't have that page archived. Want to search for all archived pages under http://www.partsbase.org/mitsubishi/ ?" Drat! Sorry, I should have dug a little deeper. ...

Unless the part #'s change, this should be around for a long time.

Re: New and improved side-exit exhaust
Sweetness. I feel a little emasculated glancing down at my tiny little tail-pipe.

Re: 1991 Battle Star Landram Projekt
Hi Motorang; please feel free! I'm honored to have my exploded balance belt featured, haha. I wish I'd taken a photo the moment I noticed. That was a bit of a prop, but I am Soooo thankful it just hung out in there while the bus drove for who knows how many more KM's. Thanks, Growler, always appreci...

Re: 1991 Battle Star Landram Projekt
Cheers Growler! That is like the most understated entry in the manual "ya, just remove the cover and stuff in a socket extension". Oh, ya you need a child's sized arm or ability to contort your hand, or remove the started to get at that bloody upper balance shaft. Somehow I managed. Sure w...

Re: 1991 Battle Star Landram Projekt
A little more movement today. Here's the successful layout in order to move the Crank Pulley bolt which was pretty darn tight! Seal was definitely spewing as there was still a little pool sitting near the bottom of the seal. I'm really looking forward until I can start putting this all back together...

Re: 1991 Battle Star Landram Projekt
Cheers! Managed to wiggle the belt 2 pulley off the crank using an l-shaped pry-bar and ever so slightly rocking it side to side... Manual says the cam sprocket should only be like 51ft lbs. Seems a tad tighter than that. Unsuccessful this evening. Looking forward to the cleaning up and putting back...

Re: 1991 Battle Star Landram Projekt
Today was full of tear down. I grabbed a healthy armful of parts from RMI (nice to have them in the neighborhood). I have the following: > Timing Belt + tensioner > Balancer Belt + tensioner > 4 seals > Water pump and Thermostat > Rocker cover seal > Fuel, Air, Oil filter Pulled out the rad and noti...

Hehe, I'll learn to regret that statement! Thanks for the feedback. Looking forward to a long and arduous thread. :)Growlerbearnz wrote:It's not a difficult job, but by the end of it you'll be revising your opinion on how easy the engine bay is to access.

1991 Battle Star Landram Projekt
Hi. This will hopefully be a long and fruitful thread that hopefully won't end in dispair, haha! I just picked up a 91 L300 Exceed TD that I knew had issues going in. Here's what I knew. 1. There was oil pretty much everywhere on the drivers side of the engine, front to back. 2. The power steering d...

Re: Newbie
Hi! Well it's been a week and no welcome wagon so hello. :) I'm very new here but I feel I've nearly read every post (unlikely). Seems that there are a few issue more common, but really, not that out of the ordinary for 25year old cars. Brake master cylinder dribble, valve cover 'halfmoon' leaks, he...

Re: Steering woes, Leaking PS fluid
Hi all! Before I post a new thread I wanted to jump in here and ask a couple questions. I have a leaking drivers side seal on my steering rack. Squeezing the boot gushes oil. I've searched the forum for 3 days and haven't found an answer. Has anyone had success finding a seal kit for one side of the...
