Fourtrak 1989 turbo diesle broke down on m40 thought i had dropped valve as fireing on three cylinders, or broken cam belt.
Had head off bent push rods £21.60 + vat each all eight. Head ok and cam belt ok, timing spot on(unlikely jumped and returned to correct position) will change cam belt any way, but not over rev'd any ideas on whats happened to cause damage Going to put back together tomorow dont want same to happen again :help
bent engine rods
dunno how true this is ,
as i personally have not tried it,
but the chap who i have been getting my bits from for my fourtrak,
does a hell of a lot of off-roading,
he has run fourtraks for donkeys years and does all his own repairs etc
he claims that if cam belt goes its a simple fix,
even if rods are bent,
simply use a hammer to true the rods back straight,
easy enough to do so he says
dunno what the rest of the site members reckon,
but if it saves the levels of cash being asked from diihatsu for new ones,
might be a cash saving tip
good luck anyways
might have worked if i Hadnt
might have worked if i Hadnt snaped two getting them out, any way all reassembled and running with new rods Now its only my wallet thats upset!!!!!!!!!
