Re: Samurai 413 LWB repairs underway at last.

Re: Samurai 413 LWB repairs underway at last.

Thanks Scottie! :D I'll have a close look at the gears and let you know. Re the carb, I don't expect to do anything extreme (not intentionally anyway) so it should do the job.

The boot on the shift lever was split, it had lost all its oil and filled up with water and crud instead. The shafts are badly worn and the gear teeth well rounded. No wonder it was making suc...

Re: Samurai 413 LWB repairs underway at last.

First update: The head from Scottie has cleaned up well and having been dismantled, checked over and tweaked is ready for re-assembly and fitting. Turns out the rear diff is fine. The problem lays with the transfer box. The noise and vibration was travelling up the prop shaft so it sounded like the ...

Re: Samurai 413 LWB repairs underway at last.

Thanks to Scottie J for the offer of a replacement head.

Looking for a rear diff bearings kit supplier if anyone knows of one. I only seem to be able to find one in the States on ebay.

Re: Samurai 413 LWB repairs underway at last.

Well after quite a spell (due to illness and lack of cash) my 1991 LWB is finally receiving some long needed attention. Ok, so apart from considerable welding and body work repairs, (going to tackle this once she is driveable) this is the list of faults found so far: Head gasket- knackered (the oil ...
