Thanks for the advice. I"ll pull the timing cover tomorrow and report back with how it looks. Thing is, the accessory belts look dry with no oil on them. What could have caused the crankshaft seal to blow (could the overheating have something to do with it), and how much of a swine is it to rep...

Oil leak - any early thoughts?

My Alto Works is just one problem after another, and I was wondering what your thoughts were on this one. To explain a little, the Alto Works twin-cam F6A has the timing belt on the driver's side and the alternator and a/c belts below it, the a/c belt being at the front of the car. So after my most ...

Where's the engine block drain plug on an F6A engine?

As the thread title really. Where's the engine block drain plug on an F6A engine? Gonna be replacing some old coolant hosing in the next few days and want to do a good flush of the cooling system. Would like to open up the engine block drain plug(s) to make sure all the rubbish comes out with the co...

My bad. Should have made that clearer. Yeah, I don't stockpile parts or anything like that but if I find good deals here in Japan for folks I'll post them up.

Any chance of getting a pic of the turbo exhaust manifold flange and a measurement of the inlet ID at the compressor wheel? I'm interested but I need to know what trim the turbo is, and the specs have obviously been stripped when the compressor housing was cleaned. Might be a little hard to get mor...

FS: Rebuilt (new) IHI turbo, Cappuccino coilovers

A couple more parts for you folks out there in Suzukiland, and the first is a very nice one. It's a rebuilt IHI turbo with absolutely no miles on the clock. That's right: zip, nothing, nada. Comes with actuator and looks a very good buy at AUD$650 including delivery. http://i673.photobucket.com/albu...

FS: Wagon R Wide/Hitachi HT-07 turbo

Was browsing the junkyards today (as you do!) and I came across a Wagon R Wide. To my surprise it was a turbo and even more surprising was that the turbo was still in it! Thought I'd let you folks know as I know the HT-07 turbo is a very nice upgrade, and especially if you combine it with an N2 ECU ...

No series 2 ones available at the moment I'm afraid. These ones have only been on the market a couple of weeks as it is!

FS: 1/43 scale Mighty Boy models

Someone's just asked me about these so thought I would put them out to the Mighty Boy community. I can get hold of these 1/43 scale model kits of the Suzuki Mighty Boy in black, white or red. They are brand new here in Japan and look a little something like this: http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/v...
