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. :)

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...
