  1. Yea, shits me off.

     

    But the engines leaked a fair bit of oil from the get go. Think the seals had partly perished when it sat previous to me buying it from JasonKE30.

     

    So replacing the seals will mean no more topping up with oil every week :yes:

     

     

    win! :cool: if you need a hand bro sing out yeah

  2. So. Got filled the wagon with oil today, backed it off the trailer only to have half the oil get dumped out the rear main. Looks as if its perished in the time I hadn't driven it.

     

    So hoping to have the rear main, front main and sump gasket changed saturday :y:

  6. Yet another hairbrain idea that might just work.....or cause issues.

     

    Straight LPG!

     

    There is at least one KE that i know of on here (lupees' 5K-T KE20) running straight gas.

     

    Being straight gas it wont encounter the same performance issues of a car setup for dual fuel.

     

    There's a place down my way that will do it so when i get the govt. rebate it will cost almost nothing.

     

    Sounds interesting Ryan :)
