No. If lpg isn't exactly right (hard to do on a modern log system on an old efi car) you can end up with very hot combustion temps. Brave that it's your only wheels. Been there done that

Quote (it's my daily car and only car.) brave man most of us have a back up motor or two :vb-biggrin:

No need to link the internal pipes. Use compressed air to blow the coolant out of the heater matrix.

Catching up ... slowly!

Are you upto speed lad🤔😜

Snap on doesn't work with the p38 you need to go old school

Think it took me about 3 hours to replace the o-rings by using come creative cutting and a lot of swearing. Still a pig of a job but not the worst.

No need to remove the dash. A long screwdriver and one duct to cut, easy peesy. as long as the screw is not corroded in. Use a S/S socket head screw when putting it back and a smear of silicone grease on the O rings.

Heater O rings

err . . actually three causes. 1. Its either that the valve is actually stuck closed. 2. Or its a faulty height sensor & ECU confuses the reason 3. Or intermittent connection in the driver pack connector, i.e. if the driver pack cannot trigger...

Whole f_ckin' day wasted today on those two bolts and no further forward. That and trying to bleed the high pressure pipes with 2 dodgy batteries that **** themselves as soon as you try to crank. Utterly wasted ****ing day. Those bolts have one...

The valve stuck closed fault can be two possible faults. Its either that the valve is actually stuck closed. Or its a faulty height sensor. If the EAS controller reads a certain height that is too low and its tries to pump up the coresponding...

The bottom of the throttle body where the coolant runs through is held on by 3 tiny bolts, if the seiling surface is not perfect or if these bolts get over thightened or if the gasket gets old it will leak. Clean it properly, flatten and clean...

my plan is to use the P38 axels with brakes and suspension. then i will have to find out if i will use the RRC compressor and suspension ECU or if the L320 can do that better I am not sure if the master cylinder and ABS setup from the P38 is...

Youll have to stick with the Borg warner transferecase because of the left hand drop propshafts. The LT230 is right hand drop. If you going to take P38 axels use the P38 air suspension too, the P38 air suspension is set up for solid axels while...

Yeah i think the TDV8 had the 8HP. This is what i would do B57 engine along with its 8HP transmission out of a G05 BMW X5 and all its electronics that go with it, mainly the ECU. Design an adaptor plate to fit the borg warner transfercase to the...

Have a look at the ZF8HP transmissions. They are a decent step up from the 6HP. Im in the planning phase of changing my P38s 4HP to an 8HP a really cool part about this is the 4HP has a 2.7:1 1st gear the 8HP ive gotten has a 5.5:1 1st. So crawl...

All 3 nipples!! Not just the 2 you can see

Tornado is trying to sell their stuff so of course they are going to say its worth it. It just makes way more sense to do the cam and ecu at the same time. Its not a national secret but the knowledge is guarded by a huge amount of man hours to...

As far as i know its only tornado thats able to "tune" the bosch ECU's. Without doing the cam its virtually pointless to tune the ecu. But these engines are good ones to learn on, they still quiet simple and there is a huge amount of resources...

Weigh it up against the risks/costs of if it goes wrong and see how comfortable you feel. Not the most expensive job for a mechy that knows what he’s looking at. Saying that there’s plenty of good eyes and advice here if you post pics. These...

You sound like you are jumping in before knowing TBH. Cam lift can be easliy checked with the right equip and just removing the rocker covers. If its worn then fine change it. Its a lot of work. As for tuning the ECU as far as I am aware thats...

If that's the original cam, it's likely past it's best

+1 on doing the brake bleed procedure as per Rave. If you think youve got all the air out on a step give it another 5 pumps and more air will come out.

Cheapest fix and first job with brakes is to follow the bleed procedure as per RAVE. Don't rush it and pump plenty of fresh fluid through. How many presses of the brake pedal before the ABS pump kicks in? If the accumulator membrane is shot it...

I guess the bigger question is why did you get disco hubs when you own a p38 :vb-confused2:. J

Those glove boxes are an utter PITA if you disturb them. Last time I just left mine closed for 2 years and it suddenly started working again.

no, 1 and 8 are not on the same coil. roughness is a rolling misfire count. each increase is an actual misfire, but this doesnt count as an actual misfire event until you have a certain number per minute. i think roughness has to reach ~10, if i...

As said it's a wasted spark system, it will spark down 2 leads at the same time. Normally when a coil goes it will impact both cylinders not one. I would suggest the coil is working fine at this point. It could be a dodgy injector, but i would...
