The YAK Trolley lives

[pcsolutionman]

Well Fixed Terry's Yak trolley today, ended up having a blown head gasket but the head was all good not warped or cracked, Replaced the valve stem seals while i had the head off, also replaced the 2 radiator hosed that caused the problem in the first place, as well as new spark plugs, points and an oil change. Running well now hopefully get him out of trouble untill the end of the year and new car

Yeah mate, go pick up a copy of the Gregorys repair manual for your ute model & will give ya a run through of what ya need to do.

Cheers,

Matt

Know that feeling well mate, same as my ute, I enquired everywhere about it & turns out I can get a genuine one for $280, but bugger that, think I'll just take it to my brother who is a mechanic if/when anything beyond my scope of fixability happens.

Cheers,

Matt

On the road again :silly: :silly: , welcome back dude.

No, not on the road again. Lee was driving it down to my place, (was going to go fishing) it made the final 7 km on the back of a tow truck.

Timing Belt was slipping a bit, so pop a new one on tomorrow hopefully and good as gold

And - as mentioned, yes and in a certain order etc.

[werewolf]

Oh no a belt now! Hopefully Lee can get it sorted out soon!

I think everyone on AFO is hoping you can fix his car, the world would be a poorer place without Terry's crazy fishing reports!

aah they dont "slip a bit" mate, hope nothing has been damaged. Usually results in valves contacting pistons, which is not cheap.

[kriso]

yep what feral said, the tensioner is probably worn causing to hop.

Nah the belt was a little worn pretty sure its slipped tensioner looked fine. and cant do any valve damage on this motor its a free spinning motor so all is good. just a couple of hours to change the belt and it will be good as gold

[kriso]

nice! are they a hydrualic or spring tensioner on those beasts?

[pcsolutionman]

Just a spring tensioner, just got off the phone from repco and its likr $45 for belt or $96 for belt tensioner and pully, so i think we will go that way and replace the lot for peice of mind

Lee

[kriso]

hahah beat me to it, was going to say that if its a spring tensioner the whole kit would be pretty cheap hahahha.

[kriso]

oh and bulldog clips are great for holding the belt when pretensioning belt before you crack the tensioner.
