Hi,
I have just been reading through your posts. I know it's a bit late now but I have to ask the question.

There should be 8 items including the inlet connection. Perhaps the pic. below will help you sort it. http://www...

Hi Norm, Sorry I haven't been on here to answer some of your questions. As far as rattles from the top end are concerned I cant see two or three thou. valve clearance making much difference. :think: Are the rockers getting oil :?: :?: There is a restrictor fitted in the rocker oil feed to control th...

Hello again Matt, I should have said that some of the PJ engines were fitted with full flow filters in an external canister as an option, so you may have been supplied with a filter element in error. My dumper didn't have one and if as you say you can't see an external filter canister, (which would ...
