Thanks, looks like that'll be in an upcoming episode, so keep an eye out!

Agree awesome video. The leak down video was also great.

Glad it was helpful!

I'm a professional 4wding epistemophilic, it's like a disease, I've been afflicted for years! :)

Thanks mate, don't worry, I wear elastic sideded boots for a reason too mate!

Cheers mate!

Thanks for watching!

Check out the videos on the channel, there's a video just on performing a leak down test.

Thanks mate, the head is still attached to the block at the moment, but it'll come off soon enough.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing I am not much of a diesel mechanic, they worry me. What do you THINK it may be - stuck valve, or all sooted up?

Cheers!

You bet!

You're right, ideally a diesel runs a dry inlet, thanks for the tips.

Thank you, I will

While a compression test will tell you the general health of a cylinder's seal, if it's not great, it won't be able to tell you where the issue possibly is, that's the job of a leak down tester.

Keep an eye out for the vid, it's coming!

Hey, I've got an Isuzu, Mazda Suzuki and a Toyota in the driveway! I just like cars/bikes/planes, anything with an engine! There is more diesel related episodes in the pipeline!

Sounds like a great idea, thanks for the suggestion.

Haha, just remember suck, squeeze, bang, blow!

It's on the list!

The 80 was filling up the catch can a lot more than usual and when cold was a little rough at idle. While we haven't pulled the head off yet, I'm hoping it's only a head gasket and not a hole in the piston! Looks like we'll have to record the leakdown test as well.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing we can only hope, fingers crossed

I've added it to the list!

That'll be fine, you probably don't want to push diesel up into your gauge, that's why you should disconnect the fuel system.

The location of the glow plug is dependant in the head design and whether the diesel is a indirect injection (like a 1HZ) or direct injection (like the engine tested a 1HD-T). In an indirect injection engine the glow plug is usually in the precombustion chamber, in a direct injection engine it'll be in the combustion chamber itself. The purpose of the glow plug is to help start a cold engine.

That was a custom adaptor made by enzed.

The powerstroke is a great engine! I like the power of the petrol 80s, just not the fuel bill....

@@LockyourHubs4WDing Never stop making 80 series vids friend :)

They will pry the dual solid axles with coils all around from my cold dead hands! :)

7.3 mucho peso y si está standard jala menos que un sensillo 15bt o un 1hdt originales Toyota con solo injectores de mayor caudal y turbo ball bearing de 54mm inducer compresor y 49mm exducer de turbina housing .48

Con 20psi estás jalando de a igual al 7.3 pero mucho menos consumo y menos peso ya q el peso es malo en offroad

It was filling up the catch can with oil faster than usual and a little rough at cold idle. Thanks for the kind words.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing would you advise adding a catch can for the 1-HDT engine?

@@Ghostrider-71 depends on the emissions setup in your neck of the woods. If it has EGR, then definitely yes, just make sure the catch can you choose can flow enough for the engine.

A compression test is a bit like an "engine light* on your dash, it'll tell you there's something amiss, but not where your compress has gone. For that, you'll need a leak down test. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8Woa7GWvczafYE.htmlsi=E1h-ph-zAOJR6Otd

@@LockyourHubs4WDing Thanks - I looked earlier, only skipped through the video - they sell testers here for under $20 US each for compression and leak tester kits. I may as well splash out because I'm in for the long haul with diesels, I love'em. Noisy buggers but I've got a phobia about storing petrol at home. I'm in the Philippines, out in the sticks, and last year during the rainy season our town was cut off from road supplies for almost a month due to land slides - the road literally washed off a mountain. You could not get gasoline for a good fortnight unless you got someone to go out on a motorbike to get you a can or two. But diesel wasn't a problem, I'd say I'm one of only 10% or so who drives a diesel here. And they seem to last forever if you look after them, eg regular oil changes. Thanks for the quick response.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing Many thanks for your input. I got it fixed, valve clearances. The rockers were not sitting properly on their shaft, they were laterally displaced from the central position by maybe 5mm - that was where they were resting when I first lifted the cover. I've got a bigger version of the same generator, brand new, so I lifted the cover on that and the rockers had virtually no side to side play and were sitting right in the middle, not towards the sides. So I re-adjusted the little 'un, ensuring the rockers were centralised as I checked the clearances. She started first time on the electric and the recoil. Phew! Thanks again.

Thanks!

I've seen them go 600,000km with decent maintenance.

It's on the cards!

@@LockyourHubs4WDing Thanks buddy!

It was a holed piston.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing that sucks. I have a FTE which has blow by a fair amount with white puffs... Stressing out for when I take it in... Is what it is... Thanks again.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing was it a full rebuild?

@@deriusnorris4463 yes, change over long motor.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing ouch. Thx.

Looks like I'm going to have to schedule it up!

Thanks for the tip!

Probably worn.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing maybe but doesnt burn oil and has bugger all blowby

Cheers

I guess so.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing many thanks.... I mean does it need to be tdc for checking a suspected head gasket? With this its pretty random but once pressure is reached watch the gauge go down ? Is that correct? Thanks

@@tituslane4929 it's best to test at TDC

@@LockyourHubs4WDing thankyou

Haha!

@Tony Munro Yep, that's my go to fault finding... :)
