The connections are crimped on ring terminals with M8 or M10 bolts. Any loss ought to be negligable. The starter cable goes from the positive buss bar (M10) to a short cable from the starter hanging down about 20 cm from the engine, there the connection is 2 crimped on ring terminals with M8 or...

I am having oil actually dripping from the exhaust pipe serving cylinder 2 and 4. (not far away from the end of the pipe, but through a 3/4 inch water inlet hole (wet exhaust) about 1 m from the cylinder head) The batteries are below and just in front of the radiator. The positive buss bar...

PCV: Wonder over wonders, Toyota Thailand had the grommet for the PCV valve. After cleaning and rinsing the PCV valve it seems to be working as it should. Anyway, have ordered a new PCV valve from UK. Stem seals: Have ordered a set of 32 from UK. Toyota Thailand can muster 6 seals. If I could...

I have 11 litre + in my cooling system. Normally I have to fill the system in 3 steps. Fill radiator, start and run for a while. repeat repeat and then its normally full .

fired it up several times today, running somewhat odd white smoke developed, but today had some slight wind so that the white smoke blew strait into my face, not steam but some kind of exhaust for sure injector cylinder 2 didn't work today, white smoke frome pipe serving cylinder 2 and 4 worse...

at last got the PCV valve out, cleaned it, sucked it - closes / opens OK, it seems bugger, when puttig it back in the o-ring/seal stuff broke so now; scrapyards: here we come

checked the PCV valve, its open, it does not close, good flow through it and good flow through the hose aswell as the pipe leading into the air intake so guess I need to trawl some scrapyards to find a working valve (btw, the radiator is vertical flow)

right, today venture downtown resulted in 2 shops saying that DENSO SK... are not available in Thailand. not sure I buy that but that was what they said, SK..... not available. Anyway, from various conversion tables I have landed on NGK IFR6T11 (IFR6T8 doesn't seem to exist) as an alternative.

right, PCV valves for 1UZ not available in the spare part shops and not from Toyota Thailand. Which leaves the scrapyards as possible sources. Will take the PCV valve out, clean it and check that the ball is working, and also check the other end of the hose. (they could provide cylinder head...

Those thermostats have surprised me too, no end. I hadn't thought of that bypass. Good that you mentioned it. But I have no heating issues without the thermostat. There are 2 Bosch fans on the radiator, fairly powerfull fans me thinks. There is NO amp marking on them. But from experience, they...

No, I do not have an heat exchanger. Its a closed cooling system with a radiator and radiator fans that are temperature controlled, just like in a car. Yes, it comes up to 80 and 80 and a bit, takes a while though. (I have 5 fans on the oil cooler, I don't start these until the coolant is...

found an interesting piece on PCV here; http://oppositelock.kinja.com/ditch-that-pcv-system-before-it-is-too-late-1634156554 (but why feed back in at all? collect the oil and let the rest go into the air?)

many thanks have done some PCV googling, will look for that stuff later (its pitch dark here now) (I'm using Toyota pre-mixed anti freeze) but how would an ailing PCV valve cause white smoke from cylinder 2 and/or 4 only?

Failing block-cylinderhead gasket? The boat has been with the builder for a couple of weeks, sorting out some minor stuff. Fired up yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks. As usual the solenoid didn't click when it has not been used for a "long" time. Couple of knocks with a hammer on the...

Most of the time yes. However, it does happen that the solenoid does not click. The starter is new, the flywheel is old, 20+ years. That might be part of the cause for non-clicks, dunno. Also, the new starter is one "model" older than the engine. However, when the new starter was installed both...

well, I don't have any engine fuse box and don't have any starter relay either, unless you mean the solenoid/magnetic thingie on the starter itself

would think so, since it does manage to run rather smooth on all cylinders

Right. My normal parts dealer in BKK didn't have SK20R11, but can get them from Toyota in 2 days. SK20R he could not get hold of at all. Have spent some time on www today reading up on plugs etc. If I understand the ND legends correctly the SK20R11 will have a 1.1 mm gap whilst the SK20R will...

thanks a lot, off to Europe tomorrow morning so that would probably have to wait until I'm back Why would a smaller gap be more suitable in a boat? Boats always run uphill, even when planing, hard work pushing water Fairly stable RPM, not so much variation anyway, thanks

Ta Gloverman, and that is NGK plugs? (My best guess as to the age of my mill is Toyota Celsior after October 1994 and before VVT.)
