hi all, ive just made the mistake and bought a 2001 3.0l gu and now after reading a bit about them ive realised that they can be so temperamental. the previous owner was reluctant to tell me that there was a new engine put in the patrol 5,000km before we bought it (didnt realise until we found a receipt in the center console) i couldnt find any information from the mechanics that did the replacement so i have no idea on how old the engine is. ive been looking at all the suggestions on how to stop my 3.0l from blowing up, i believe its caused by over boosting? one of the blokes from ironman 4x4 said we needed to setup up a dawes valve and im hearing about setting up a needle valve aswell and an egt gauge aswell. the engine is completely stock same with the exhaust. can anyone send me in the right way to getting my 3.0l sorted?
cheers
Cooper
