Hello there!

Post by bushy »

Just joined up, hello peeps!

ive just put a 'fresh' (ish) 3f in my 87 fj75, last one broke up slug one and two. compression was down to 145-155 on the old one anyway. new motor had a 20km first run, now has between 20-35psi in pots 3-6.

looks like the heads coming off, anyone got a link to a downloadable manual?

ive had the fj for 5 years and done a lot of work and had a lot of fun with it, also have an hj75 with the 6.2 chev from Brunswick motors here in western australia, running on bio diesel i make myself

thanks in advance for any help/advice!
