1kd Toyota injector seals

 Hi all,

 

Not directly fishing related but I know there would be plenty of crew on here who have hilux's, and prado's. Has anyone had the pleasure of replacing their 1kd injector sealing washers as yet? They sit between the injector and the cyl head. Over time they wear and compress to the point of not sealing 100% and your engine starts to start a bit like a tractor and can ultimately lead to oil pickup issues ect. 

 

I have a hilux of my own and it has just clicked 120,000klms. Just starting to show the signs of the injector seals going so planning on swapping them out this weekend. Have any of you done these works yourself or arranged them to be replaced elsewhere? Any tips and hints would be appreciated.

 

after hours of googling and searching it would appear to mainly be the earlier models of 1kd engine which has the issue arise most commonly.

 

cheers

Reel service

hi everyone. I am starting a reel servicing small business to get some money towards a car. I have done a few and they have turned out perfect, much better with the salt water and sand being cleaned out. I also grease the drag and go through all the parts and lubricate and grease them if need be.

currently I charge $15 per reel. Located SOR near Rossmoyne. I have the next few weekend free if anyone would like theirs done!

 


Needed some retail therapy

So I was having a bit of a downer day and decided that a bit of retail therapy was called for. Thankfully for me, Getaway outdoors (Cockburn) was having a bit of a sale. I walked in there looking for some 15lb braid and ended up walking out spending nearly $400, part of which was a new Fin Nor 8000 reel, packed with 30lb line. Didn't end up getting the 15lb line though.

Big thanks to Kenny, their fishing specialist, who taught me a few things and sent me packing with some gear.

Always good to have a knowledgeable person to interact with customers and share knowlege


Rock walls this weekend

 So who's going to fish the rock walls this weekend. May head to Mindarie Saturday arvo/evening to chase some snapper.


V8 Yamaha flywheel

Received a letter from Yamaha Aust tell of the need to replace the flywheel and electronic control unit to be replaced on our twin 300s on the rescue boat.

The new ECU will give a warning when 80 hours in the rev range of between 3400 and 4250 is reached so that a new flywheel can be fitted at each required 100 hour service. The flywheel replacement is of no cost to the owner.
The reason behind it is that the flywheels are more like a harmonic balancer and are rubber mounted, if the rubber fails there is vibration and it can cause the crankshaft to snap.


Round 12

 Gets underway tomorrow night, Hawks V Crows, aside from that, not much interest for the rest of the weekend, but being at home, I'll catch up with most games.


not fishing related but need HELP- spilled milk through my passenger seat and car carpet.. Fargen stinks to high hell!!

 Did a very stupid thing, a two litre bottle of milk emptied into my front passenger seat and into the floor carpet. This was on Sunday and seriously it is fargen puke material in my Patrol at the moment.. It's enough to make a skunk vomit....

Any ideas on how to clean it out..

I've had advise such as;

sprinkle milo on it

load the car with cats

drill hole in the floor and run a hose through it for HOURS...

sell the car

etc etc

 

any advise is appreciated...

Cheers,  JJ

Fishing Buddy (Rockingham).

 I have recently sold my fishing boat and I'm currently suffering withdrawal until I get another one. 

I have all the fishing gear needed from bottom bouncing to chasing Marlin, but at the moment no boat. I would very much appreciate an invite out with any like minded people who live in the Rockinham area are needing crew on thier boat on any weekend. I would naturally pay fuel and bait etc. I'm an ex crayfisherman and lots of experience on the water and don't get sea sick, I enjoy a beer and the footy and generally get along with most people. I'm 45yrs  (going on 30 -60)  

Regards
Trevor

Anybody had / have a polycraft?

 looking for some feedback from owners of polycraft boats. 

How long  have you had them? 

 Are they really as good as the advertising let's on? Tough and smooth ride? How is the stability at rest? 

Do they flex around a heap? 

how is the maintenance?

I have done a bit of a search, but just looking for a bit more upto date info.

I  have seen a wicked deal on Gumtree for one. 


Docker Supporters-"Open Letter" lol

 Hahaaa- Someone has far too much time on there hands.

Very funny:

 

 


120W solar panels

 Hi guys

 

I know very little about them so asking the questions. Just wondering if this solar panel looks the goods, decent panels, regulator etc?  Has anyone bought this particular one, or does anyone have a link to one that they have bought and it has proven itself to be a good buy.

Thanks in advance.

boat ramp spill

I fell and did my knee , should I sue


Sorted.

The powerpoints and fridge are working fine in my Jayco Hawk but the lights have stopped working for some reason.  I have no knowledge of electrics but I'm guessing it's just a circuit thing... I've had a look around for anything that might be obvious to the uninformed but nothing's jumped out at me.

Anyone got any advice on where I should be looking or if you're SOR and want some quick cash or a slab can you PM me or give me a buzz / text 0430 172 671?

Cheers
