Well I just measured them and they are about 70mm across the ends.

But nowhere in the manuals does it mention this. Ah well I only paid 20 bucks for them so if anybody wants 'em.....

Righto! I bought a set of main bearings 5M1139 std some time ago and now the weather is warming up I thought I'd get stuck in. When I took the first bearing out it was Quite clean, no burn or anything. Still I thought I'd go ahead. When I compared shells the new one was a lot bigger than the one I t...

I've been gone awhile Anyway I fixed the hi-ace and started on the sigma gj auto wagon. The oil light came on and I have taken the sump off and checked the big end bearings and three of the main bearings. So far there are no score marks or burn marks on the shaft. The new oil was black after a few k...

black smoke fuel . blue smoke oil. white smoke water. grey smoke cigarettes.

it,s an '84 gj wagon with 2.6. I am now bunging on the gasket on the hiace (again). i have bought the mitsubishi workshop manual so everything is a bit clearer. how would i check the oil pump if all else seems ok? there is a link to photo bucket on my intro page. i managed to do something right. It ...

Well the head from the hiace goes for a new face tomorrow so i started on the sig today. there is no gasket on the sump is this normal? The clean new oil i put in is black after a drive round the block. There are two small pieces of metal in the sump, looks flaky. So, i took off the bottom of the fr...

no no no
I took it on a long drive and it boiled nearly dry- bludger!
water coming from exhaust. have booked it in for head facing after xmas.
Might as well start on the sig

Well it's actually called a valve spring compressor not a rocker spring compressor. Anyway none of the shops stock them . So....i improvised. I used a claw hammer and a bracket from a tv aerial . the one that clamps it to a pipe. like a exhaust pipe clamp only thinner. I slipped it under the rocker ...

I have uploaded some pics onto photobucket the next giant step will be to do something next i suppose.

you wouldn't think i fix computers but know nothing about various software and internet sites.

My new gasket is protorque. it's black with red trim. I tried to get the manifold off in case it affected the head, I pulled it out still attached. Even when i could get at the difficult nuts between the inlet and outlet manifold there was one nut that defied all efforts to get a spanner on. It was ...

I can't believe it The head gasket blew on the hiace, water in oil. Im grounded til i fix it. I cannot for the life of me unhook the accelerator cable , its inaccessible and if i do get it off i'll never get it on. this is the third in five years. Question: are the headbolts supposed to be covered i...

I was in Mt Gambier yesterday (tues) picking up a head gasket for the highace from autobarn.
And I'll be in again soon to get an oil filter and oil. Problems! problems!

your not wrong , it's just that i found 2 bottles of additive in the boot and assumed it needed the stuff.
My wife used to have a magna and that didn't need it.

thanks for the welcome
It's a gj wagon actually
I was going to upload a pic but the battery is flat so i couldnt get it out of the shed. it is now being recharged in my campervan (84 hiace)

It's a g j by the way. I did an oil change and filter change and put it castrol? magnetic oil but it made no difference. Why would I need an after market temp gauge? The car is stock standard. I think i'll take the sump off anyway and have a look first. Last time I did this was on a morris minor fif...

I bought this gj s.e. auto sigma wagon '84 job . I drove it from adelaide to western vic in that big heatwave some months ago. Unfortunately i drove it up mt barker road in 2nd (auto l 2 d r speed) at 100kph. it conked out at the top of the hill. I had just bought it and was getting it home. I reali...

Hi everybody Just checking in. I'm from casterton in western victoria. I bought an '84 sigma gj s.e. station wagon off ebay. ($500) from adelaide. unreg. Only 68,000k on the clock. the interior is like new, but it had a ding in the back which is un-noticable. The bonnet needed a thin bit of rust fix...
