I think i might have hydraulic locked my diesel motor AGAIN! P.O.S.
One of these days ill get around to having a
snorkel made. (should have done this the day i bought the damn ute)
Its on my Nissan 720, the air cleaner is a K&N style cone filter that sits behind the left headlight, before running up into the turbo. I went though a creek that was 1" deep AT THE MOST (didnt even come near as deep as my knees). Idled down really low revs in 2nd gear and just virtually rolled through a creek about 4m across, and that caused enough water splash under the bonnet to splash enought water over that air cleaner to lock it motor!!!!!
Its a bit of a mystery to me, and my mates.....but, im
well practiced at pulling the motor now, have done it 4 times in the last year, only takes me about 1.5 hours.
To top it all off, the next night, some plick stole my MP3 stereo and guage set out of the ute when it was parked out the front......
4 Sale, 720 dual cab, slightly down on compression in 1 cylender.....otherwise top condition (no stereo). $5. hehehehehehe
NUTS!
