from the bottom of the light metal alloy block, the piece that contains the cylinders and onto which you screw/bolt the sump

good price indeed, would they have distributors also? mail order company? have a www site?

good job, enjoy the nice weather you said earlier that coils were cheap how much are they down under? toyota stuff or refurbished or 2nd hand or after market or?

Coming from a fairly cold climate myself I appreciate your oil heating approach, sounds good to me. But 25k+ miles on the oil??????????????????? Thats a lot!

Your Volga looks strange to me. I remember Volgas from my childhood. Some where used as taxis. Looked very different. Maybe a bit like a Citroen DS type car, and they were incredibly strong. I still remember a wee news bit from a newspaper: Head on crash (there and there) between a Volga taxi...

quite a lot of water when its raining heavily and blowing like hell, but not much unwanted water in the area around the starter, that area is reasonably protected from rain nope, haven't checked voltage drop, should do that, (but don't really see that hammer/spanner exercises would solve...

Forgot to add; If I start the mill every day it works fine, the solenoid does its job immediately and it fires up quickly. If I let 4-5 days go by without starting then I must do the hammer/spanner bit to get the starter/solenoid to work. Maybe I'm wrong, but this gives me the idea that its...

right, ta, takes me a wee bit longer though, awkward working conditions in a rolling boat bloody odd though that a virtually brand new starter, hardly used, should have a "faulty" solenoid doesn't appeal to me to buy electrical stuff from a scrapyard, will see what Toyota in BKK can...

when starter engages and turns cogwheels and teeth sound OK the solenoid was tested quite a lot before the starter was installed, but, sure could be a problem with the solenoid can anything be done to a lax solenoid or is the solution to change it?

May I throw in a question re starters here. My 1UZ is probably a late 94 or early 95 model (Celsior). Not so long ago I changed the starter. Put in a Toyota refurbished starter. The flywheel is probably original. If a week goes by without starting the engine I have to go through an exercise...

aluminium or whatever, dunno, but approx 75 mm is the depth of what is below the engine block

My sump extends about 75 mm down from the engine block. (not disregarding the drain plug, which is recessed on the side of the sump) Anything deeper than that would be a challenge for me, but my application is very far from mainstream. I am reasonably confident that my 1UZ stems from a Celsior...

Thanks for the measure. But what kind of alloy? Alloy of which metals/substances?

What kind of alloy? As above, I'd also like to know how far it extends down from the engine block.

whatever Toyota has diesel V8s, been around for close to 10 years now. 4500 cc turbo charged, comes with 1 or 2 turbos. Great stuff. roughly 260 hp roughly 750 Nm. As far as I know they can be found in large Landcruiseres, Lexus 570 and some pickup models. These mills may be found almost all...

the following beer after moored up at home now comes a hell of a lot of work with doing all the cabling

installed installed in the boat, the mill is bolted to the boat with two M16 bolts, thats all

installation The 1 UZ installed in the new boat last sunday. The 1UZ eagerly awaiting installation at my mechanic's shop. my mechanic in the first pic

I changed the timing belt on my 1UZ a bit more than a year ago. Some kind person here on Lextreme pointed me to a very good recipee for how to do it. Helped me a lot. (he/her might pop up again, or you may look around in threads with my name and find the same recipee)

new boat At last, the new boat launched. Towed and tied up at home by 0950 hours last Thursday. Lots of work ahead now. I have hopes the 1UZ will be installed before the end of the month.
