That's the plan. The shop doing it is a small local outfit that seems to know their stuff. He already said he'd check the head and the block for any warping, plus check all the valves, lifters, etc....

Now the bad news. We got the intake oil taken care of only to find I have a blown head gasket. On the very back of the engine, right over the last cylinder is the leak. That is what caused the...

Well, some good news and some bad news. Good news is the turbo is fine - no leaks, no damage. They discovered a few places in the intake system that weren't completely sealed, thus allowing dirt,...

I'll be gone for about 2 weeks so I'll be offline until just before Christmas. Plan to do a full write up when I get back

Installed some new H4 5000K headlamps and adjusted the beams. Blocked off the EGR and removed the butterfly. It's a 1000% difference throttle responsiveness and in the turbo spool-up now. The mighty...

Got a problem sorted out with my Webasto heating system and got all the fluids and oils changed out to winter-weight. The Patrol is purring right along now at -20C :)

Got it started and running in -15C temps and drove it around the city for a good 5 hours on new winter tires.

Going to start my Patrol today in -15C cold and discovering that my $1500 Webasto heater system that I just had installed wouldn't start up and heat the block like it's supposed to. As a result, the...
