it all depend's on how bigger service you want to do. Also depends on how regulary it has been serviced aswell.
here's a basic list of thing's:
plugs
lead's
cap
rotor
point's (if it has it)
oil filter
air filter
fuel filter
coolant
engine oil
And some extra stuff if ya feel like doing it:
gearbox oil (no one ever does it)
diff oil (no one ever does this either)
brake fluid
and the list goes on.....
like i said it all depend's on what ya want to do.
2* 73 A53 16L DodgeColt (Plymouth Cricket),2* 73 GB Galant Sedan's,1* 74 GB Galant Sedan,1* 76 VK Valiant Regal, 1* 79 GE SE Sigma Sedan,1* 81 GH Sigma PWS, 1* 84 GK Sigma SE,1* 85 GK Sigma GL - Replacing the 84 GK SE,1* 91 GTO - FOR SALE
Most Sigma's don't have points, but some older ones did.
The rotor, well thats the little arm that spins around inside the dizzy cap to distribute the spark to the appropriate cylinder. They can get burnt, or the studs inside the dizzy cap burn also.
When you have finished your service, get the ignition timing checked by a mechanic if you don't have a timing light.
The other thing you may want to consider if you're doing a major service, is get the carby overhauled. Could make a big improvement on performance & fuel economy.
no i dont have a manual i was getting one last night on ebay and same bum paid 25 cents more than me with 2 seconds left!
So what are the tappet clearances im also thinking of buying a gasket kit and just replacing all the gaskets as id rather be safe than drop oil on the track ;) if i do that ill be taking the balance shafts out lol

also had to back into supercheap to pay for the fuel pump b4 they ordered it and they told me that the one with the return line was $80 and with out it was $180 and he assured me that it would come with a bung to plug up the return line will this be alright?
Just found a gasket kit on ebay but its for a 4G54 will this fit a 4G52?
