While the rad was drained I took it out to blow out crap from the fins and scrape off the mud wasp nests only to notice the end tanks were rating with all the metal flakes that had accumulated in them during the flush.
With a bit of flushing while shaking I think the rad is finally coming clean but there is probably more in the hoses, block and heatercore yet.

Whoa, chunky. It makes you feel good though when you see crap like that come out, makes you feel like the work you've done has been worthwhile. That's how I feel anyway.

Yeah if only the work was over I just pulled the thermostat to try give the block a better flush and thankfully the bolts didn't snap but the thread from the housing came with the short bolt and the long one feels like it is going to snap if I put it back in.
Might see if it can toodle 15k into town with one bolt holding and have the local engineering shop re-thread it.
Otherwise I see if the housing comes off the block any easier.

The chunkier stuff can block the water galleries, especially the small holes in the head gasket.

Tested some stuff on the poo. Ok. The 02 zd30 is a bit hard to start first thing on a Freezing cold melbourne morning. Probably 10 revolutions maybe 3 to 4 seconds.. Fires up, runs rough for another second or two. Then runs beaut. Lets out a puff of white vapour. Starts fine all day after that. Put a DC current clamp on the fat wire going to the glow plugs. Relay clicked, but no current drawn. Tested clamp meter on another source and it works. So.. GPs are not working. Do I fix them or let sleeping dogs lie?

With all the spare time with our lock down I parked the patrol on Wednesday night after work and did absolutely sweet f@#k all to it. So much so that I'm driving the Clubsport tomorrow. Give it a good 5 day break.

Politely pulled over up our big little hill on the way home from the supermarket in the old GQ ute with some 750kg atop to let a V8 Landcrab wagoon arrogantly blast by.
I swear they are a different breed these days, even hardwood logging trucks usually thank me :-)

Did you get to the big in the block when you drained it,it is on the left hand side between cylinder 5 and 6 I think from memory,when I did ours I flushed it a few times...
