Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

I had a choice between red and black so I chose red to identify leaks easier.

wife came looking why I was swearing





as it stands now. Just the front to do. Starter and exhaust all buttoned up

Calling on the experts

It's been a while since I disassembled and can't remember in what order I took it off. Can you advise on the order to assemble the front?

I'm sure I can figure it out but I hate having put something on and then having to remove it again because something else has to go first. - already had to take the inlet manifold off because I forgot the breather screw thing on the tappet cover that has a hose going to the throttle body

still need to do ( what I can remember )
a/c compressor
ps pump
cambelt covers
alternator
coil brace thingy on the inlet manifold
viscous fan
radiator and cowling

I aligned the dizzy like this before dropping it in. is it correct?

day end. got a lot done but with my knee cap pinched between bumper and tow hitch and twisting 45 i'm now on crutches. will see what tomorrow brings

need to do tomorrow

cowling
fluids
charge battery
double check as many bolts as I can find
follow Frank's start procedure

Hi 4ePikanini,
I feel for your trouble and excitement
Hope the knee is not to bad
The dist should be alligned as well as the engine. If your engine is on TDC the dist (fully engaged) should fire on one. With all the marks alligned it could only be out by 180deg(or engine by 360 deg)

Hope she starts soon !

can barely walk this morning, but happy with what I got done last night

As it stands now

With just about everything bolted on, I am proud to say I don't have any bolts lying around needing a home.

Good for you
When do you plan ignition ?

All buttoned up but I can't start it as I'm missing the dipstick. I'm hoping it's at the workshop.

On the other hand my knee is just about back to normal. I couldn't walk this morning and now I barely have a limp. weird....

And I did connect the loose ground ( can you spot it ? )- before you ask
