7-9ltrs! FARK, i average aout 11.5ltrs per 100km. No.5 cam? is it a lumpy towing cam or something what kind of duration on it, what are the intake and exhaust opening degrees? how did you get different diff gears? what ratio is it now? would love a low ratio set for mine! 38ltrs? i swear the service...

its a daily, has never over heated, it was running pretty good apart from the fuel consumption issue, but i do remember driving home from work, thinking/feeling it sounded like it was a bit lumpy when running, may of been when the gasket blew? the only thing i've done with the car is change oil, add...

fuel pump is new, head gasket is new, (seems to have fixed the problem) all fuel lines in the engine bay are new. i'll wait and see what the pro says on monday, i'd rather him pull it apart. i've heard of the needle jamming (common problem on my HK holden ute) never thought about the heat transfer t...

well the bloke i spoke to said he's rebuild plenty of these carbs in his time, not all on galants but still. He said the warping in carbys is quite common, not just in the solex mikuni, but older carbys in general. He went on to say that he put carby kits throught carbys at owners request, but witho...

The intake gasket is the one that was on the secondhand motor when we got it, i dont know if it has sealant on it. We replaced the base carby gasket. The car is booked in at the tuners for monday, so he'll tune it up timing, etc etc, he'll also look at my fuel stravation issue, he said that the sole...

Hey guys thanks for the replies. We suspected it being the head gasket, so we changed that over on the weekend. after about 80kms of driving there doesn't seem to be any build up of oily water/ watery oil. with the head gasket we changed the oil and filter also. Fingers crossed that we got it early ...

Hi guys i've noticed in my galant that there is water building up in the air filter base, it seems to be coming up though the tappet cover air breather hose (pcv valve?), I noticed it first on the 18th of this month, I cleaned the tappet cover, air breather hose & valve, air filter base. I check...

hey all i put the car though its paces on the weekend, if anyone know the south coast of aus well, i drove the car from canberra to batemans bay (north durras exactly) it drove down a notorious mountain known as the clyde, very steep, lots of hairpins, no mobile reception, not the place you want som...

thats the beast i own :) , the bores were pretty nice, almost new (95,000km hasn't done much damage) there was lips at the top, but my father told me there was nothing we could do about them, if we had the money we'd get it re bored, i check the sump bolts today, and nipped them all up a bit, i also...

Hey guys my galant has an oil consumption issue, with oil dissappearing very quick, i narrowed it down to, pressure build up in the sump and coming out the sump gasket, and at the automatic bellhousing, right at the top behind the motor, there seem to be a fair amount of build up coming from the two...

no blue.... but black, so its nice and toasty warm after a hard days work, in the sun! haha. nothing on the car will be changed for now, will stay a nice stock streeter

hey all. This car was originally owned by my great grandfather, who passed in jan, the car was almost scraped but my father said he'd take it. The car had sat in his carport for 8 years before we got it, so the paint and motor was pretty tired, but with a fresh battery, oil and fuel she started firs...

thanks for the help guys, we actually have a pretty well equipped work shop, mill, lathe, stick, mig welders, drill press, more tools than you can poke a stick at, so we have the resources. my father managed to drill the top out and we managed to undo it by hand after that... go figure! but got it o...

hey guys i have a GC Galant with a 4G32 motor in it, we were trying to replace the head gasket as it leaks, because it is over 30yrs old, as we were undoing the head studs, which are an allen headed bolt, we stripped one, we tryed to remove it with a impact wrench and have had no luck, we'd prefer n...
