Blew a hose

[jcwbute]

Hi guys looking for some help from the brains trust on this one I blew a hose today at r/h rear of block on a tb45 and it looks like a real pain to change and would you suggest changing all hoses at same time to be safe and how long if anyone has done it before
Thanks

Not a bad idea. Keep any old hoses and store them in your rear quarter panel for just incase.

Thanks I'm hoping it is hose and not fitting that comes out of block cracked as I got it home as quick as I could but gauge was pretty hot and she was pinging bad and idle was high so I'm hoping I haven't cooked it

I wouldn't have taken that risk if I'm you. The probablity of cooking the head is not worth that risk.
Pinging was a good indication the fella wasn't happy.
Better off towing the troll.

Yeah, that's what I did last time. I keep the old ones as backups.

Just got all the hoses so time to pull it all apart and see if I've cooked it hopefully not might do the tapper adjustment while I'm at it
Anyone know what it should be cold I think I read .35mm or similar

Anyone know valve adjustment as tappets are a little noisy

Use the Patrol manual mate. The specs should be there. Mine's got lifters, so no need for that.
Long time ago when I was doing it I used a feeler gauge to adjust valve clearance.

You will need a feeler gauge as well. Buy a one from Bursons or SuperDear Auto. It costs just few dollars. You can download both the Haynes manual & the factory manual for free from here, but you got the CD anyway.
