Finally removed the old Prado engine today, ready to install the semi reconditioned engine.

This is my mate Lance .. He rebuilds jet ski engines and he hates doing car engines , so I am very lucky he is helping me to fix the Prado ...

If all goes to plan... We should have it installed tomorrow and running by Friday ..fingers crossed..

Yep and as I'm sure you are aware the motors aren't a cheap rebuild

We spent most of the day of cursing laughing getting frustrated a break at lunch time for fish and chips and then back to more cursing and complaining. Mostly about how I was more of a hindrances than a help..
Im expecting more of the same tomorrow... :lol:

I have seen 3 drawbar failures in the last 20 years, the point of failure is that part under the trailer body where the A frame is attached to the trailer chassis in front of the trailer wheels is only a piddly weld and is subject to a substantial downforce perhaps cheap thin chinese steel and poor trailer design but looking at the common box trailer most trailers are built with that flaw

It did make a few creaking noises as we were lifting out the moter, that made me a little worried ..

 

[Jaros]

Bloody Japanese frogs mate?? CAREFUL, THEY BITE!!!

It has one more task to do Jaros lifting the replacement motor in today. It can make all the noise it wants after today but it bloody well better be up to the task today because i am determined to get the prado running today or tomorrow..

If it ain't a diesel it ain't worth replacing...so I've been told
