you got the rovan buggy. the difference between rovan and KM is that km parts are thicker and fit tighter together. ive had my KM 5b for 8 years now. i went all aluminum a little at a time.

Do you mind a few questions? I have same vehicle i bought off guy never really wrenchedon it and tore it down. What diff fluid do you reccomend and shock fluid. It has all king motors aluminum so its a heavy beast, thank in advance

@me8u73 Ай бұрын

Diff fluid ive never changed from stock. Never found a need to. Shock fluid you can go a little heavier then stock or you could get some higher rated springs. You could also start with compressing the springs a little and changing its lower mounting points. If you can get your hands on a set of HPI shocks that be the way to go. They are so smooth. Hope it helps. If it doesn't ask some more 😎

Man thanks I had a savage like 15 years ago so no clue about this. I don't know what the stock fluids are but can look up thanks. Really appreciate

Hey mate,there is alot of water still in the block and heater cores when changing coolant,it is best to put in a 5 litre penrite concentrated bottle first that makes 10 litres for the vf v8 at correct mix.you would be undiluted using the premix if you dont get all the old water out and you dont want to mix old coolants with the new coolant .I think it best to take it to radiator shop that can flush and air pressurise old coolant out.Give them the cooant you want use so you can top up in the future

I changed and tried everything for my situation and was still the same. It would still spike in temp. Until I found a video on how to bleed an LS properly. Which is from the top hose on engine and wait for water to come out of stem pipes. Little alloy pipes that run along top of engine. Well with mine no water was coming out. The stem pipes at the front of engine were fully blocked up with rust and crap!!! I cleaned those out and I never had any problems with overheating again. Good luck 😎

Brilliant. You're the only one that I've seen that mentions "a washer on the right & NON on the left for the caster bar." (For Australia etc.) Cheers well done! Front large nut 148Nm 4 x small nuts 23Nm Nut at other end of rod ( on control arm ) 103Nm If it's got knocks etc. Replace the stabilizer supports, strut mounts & their bearings & bump stops. The struts themselves are mostly gone as well. ( New shocks in the rear are easy to replace.) Before one gets to 100,00km it's most likely the shocks and struts are better off to be replaced. NEVER FORGET to look at the centre drive shaft bearing for torn rubber mounting if it's a clunk when going over speed bumps ( and the 2 rubber couplings, ) especially the front one on the shaft held on with 6 bolts.
