Hey all, I have an 89 I'm buying a head for. My memory is telling me that it's a protruding valve type but want to make sure; the head manufacturer wants me to confirm. I don't have the engine apart yet.

Last post

Here's what the two styles of head look like:

Pre-93 Protruding valves, uses the piston with the larger "cloverleaf" cutouts.

Post-93 flush valves, uses the piston with the smaller figure-8 shape cutout.

How To Adjust Alternator Belt Tension.

I gather that adjustment of the alternator to tension the belt is so difficult because they use the same engine...

Last post

Another pro tip: From all the searching ive done on here about tensioning alternator belts everyone says drop the lower skid plate and do it from underneath. Well you really do not need to do that. I removed the fan shrouds, took the fan off the clutch (4 10mm bolts) and all you do is kneel in...

Daniel from WingsElectronics repairs ECUs, but has also put up a great explanation of the technical details of the ECU. If you have trouble repairing your own ECU, contact Daniel.

Just in case Daniel's awesome website goes away, here's a copy...

Since the ECU measures the glow plug resistance to determine how hot they are, aftermarket glow plugs can be problematic. Most aftermarket suppliers will look up a 6v plug and give you CP-06 plugs. Which do *not* work with the super-quick ECU. However:

For glow plugs, Rock Auto .com lists the NGK...

1991 L300 Chamonix. Temp gauge (stock on the gauge cluster) doesn't move. Always low. Where do I start with getting that to work? I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to working on cars, but can follow directions really well!

Great input all. Thanks so much!

I'm getting used to it for sure... But will also be doing the EGT ASAP.

Thank you immensely for the post about skipping teeth on the timing belt. That was the exact problem. I lined everything up,followed your instructions, and fixed the problem without trouble. You've saved me from so much stress and wasted time.

I recently had the odious challenge of retrofitting a Pajero 4d56T engine into a Delica, and I thought I’d describe the difference between the two engines in case anyone else ever has to do this. I looked all over the web and couldn’t find anywhere that described this, yet according to the boys up...

Thanks all, and it did turn into a bit of a nightmare. I'm just surprised nothing was on the net to guide me through it. Some differences were so subtle you only find out when it's too late and then you have a fight on your hands. Oh well, it's out there now for the next poor sap who has to go...
