Blocking the EGR Valve

hi guys do you think that 2stroke would work on the duel fuel 4.5 mainly for a bit of lube

roofy

Not too sure about that one Roofy, two stroke is mainly for helping to lube the diesel injector pump, it replaces some of the lube removed by the clever folk who make the fuel.
There are other upper cylinder lubricants that are available, My grandad always added 1/3 pint of engine oil to the tank on his old Ford Mercury, and it went for years.
I reckon Tony would know, he's a walking workshop manual, he he. I think he'll be along shortly.

To be honest I'm not sure either, I don't know any one who's tried it.
I don't think there would be much price difference between 2 stroke oil and proper upper cylinder lubricant, if that is the case then stick with the upper cylinder lube that's already proven.

OK thanks for that,tony just one thing mate do you have a manual beside your computer,your knowlage is a credit to you

cheers roofy

Thanks Roofy,

While I'm at home I have a GQ (Petrol engine models) Gregories manual beside me, but I rarely open it.

Managed to get the plate in from the top by removing the nuts and forcing the valve out, much nicer fit.
Removing the butterfly plate was easy as, took all of 5 mins.
Can't believe the amount of oil in the intercooler hoses.

That's the go, yeah you have to spring it out a bit, fits better that way altho there is no reason it can't go in upside down.
every one i've done has had very dirty inter cooler hoses, it's best if you wash them out and most important, clean out the intercooler as the gunk that builds up is just like having a blocked radiator. Good doogs mate.

Hi all,
Very interesting read. I fitted the catch can some months ago to my 2003 GU 3.0 (series 3 or 4?) and took a look in there the other day, sure enough there was oil floating around in the bottom. Not much mind you as my patrol would have to be the laziest Patrol in Aust. I cleaned the air flow sensor at the time I fitted the can and that made a huge difference.
I just got home from a 2000Km round trip to Adelaide full loaded with the family and camping trailer. Sat on 5th gear 100Km/h and didn't see any black smoke. Averaged 6.7 Km/l or 16l/100Km.
My point is my Patrol does blow much smoke so am I a lucky bloke?

Welcome to the forum FP.

When you get a chance drop by the introductions thread and tell us a bit about yourself and your Patrol.

Sounds like a lot of positives, but are there any known negatives?????
