My %#$* MU

by **MrRevhead** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:54 pm

Ah.
Just checked Exedys specs. MU and Bighorn clutch plates are 240mm
Mines (the old one and flyhweel area) is 250mm.
Anyone know what Isuzu uses a 250mm clutch? Cover bolt pattern and dowels are the same.

by **MrRevhead** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:15 pm

4JB2T
Size, Spline OD & No. of Teeth 250 x 25.5 x 24
Flywheel Profile -18.0mm

4jb1t
Size, Spline OD & No. of Teeth 240 x 25.5 x 24
Flywheel Profile -14.0mm

Oh the joys of working on vehicles others have butchered before you.... I guess the silver lining is the clutch will handle more abuse/grunt

Supplier won't take back the clutch. New one to suit my application $471++
Ouch.
So, I'm now looking for a 4JBIT flywheel. or I might get the 4jb2t one machined to suit. Take 4mm off the rim and it should be sweet

there are a few 4jb1t flywheels around i have a couple around somewhere but freight will be a killer

by **MrRevhead** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 5:14 pm

Never mind the freight, I can sort that. Thing is no wreckers open to get one from and I am trying to get the engine back in before end of next weekend.
If you have a good flywheel I'm keen.

flywheel on its way should be there today or thursday

by **MrRevhead** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 9:39 am

Be a miracle if it makes it today lol
Cheers man, appreciate it

Turned up a day late (thanks NZC) got is machined yesterday and fitted today. Engine is back in and no more turning over by hand!
Whole bunch of smallish stuff to do and then I get to crank it over.
Might start a sweepstakes on what my next issue will be! Proceeds will go towards a new MU for when I set this one on fire if it fails to go! :lol:

Ok more progress, man this is slow!
Robs flywheel worked out awesome, met him the other day as he passed through town.

Got lots bolted on today (being away and having family stay halted progress)
Next weekend I'm hoping to get the exhaust to fit. Need to make a new section to join 2.5" down pipe and the rest of the pipe.
After that I can put the intercooler on and then its just a few things to do before I'll crank it.

Where do you get heater hoses from? I need the curly one. Holden say it is now NLA
Also what colour should diesel be? Yellowish? Pumped some through the filter today and it looks yellow, I thought diesel was pretty clear?

Your holden dealer is talking shit bro.....

My holden dealer got me the curly hose just before xmas.
It is not listed in there parts cataloge but i try and find out the part number for you.

Failing that if your down this way go to blackwells for it or if not let me know and i get 1 for you....

by **MrRevhead** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 5:21 pm

That'd be awesome if you could dig out the number. I tried to get one just before xmas :evil:

Even asked twice to confirm, NLA ex Aussie was the word.

Some diesel is dyed yellow

by **MrRevhead** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 8:04 pm

Cool, it looks all ok, except it's yellow, like urine
Not cloudy or with anything in it
I was just worried about it sitting so long

by **geeves** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 2:24 pm

dont drink it

If light gets to it it can turn yellow as can kerosene. I wouldnt worry about it too much

by **isuzurob** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 4:34 pm

try getting the hoses off a 4jb1-t tf rodeo from holden dealer

by **MrRevhead** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 4:44 pm

Do they use different part numbers between Holden and Isuzu? Will try again and ask for one of the other guys

by **muzila** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 4:57 pm

Go see someone else at your holden dealer. Ask for part number G8943750410 If they still as useless as tits on a bull then pm me and I will get you one from here. The guys at blackwells are bloody great at getting parts. shame there prices are sky high tho.

The hose cost me 34.02 inc GST.

by **MrRevhead** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 5:41 pm

Beer for that man 8-)
