FTO AUSTRALIA

Tell you what, if you contact Mitsubishi parts @ Tuggereh or Gosford during the week and get a price and maybe order/buy part# MB991477 (tappet adjustment tool).
Then I will help you do your tappets next weekend or the weekend after and you can pay me by giving me the adjustment tool, then I can also help others later with the same issues
You can also then look at my quick release at the same time.
What ya rekon?
BTW I adjusted 4 different tappet sets last week so I'm all warmed up

Oh this one correction I didn't see this PHIL069 lucky u said something lol that would be sweet all sort that out this week waiting on pay ATM had a f+#k up at work and pending on some guys that want to look at my spare Fto but I have your number so I'll message u bit later next week cheers maybe u can have a wheelbarrow full for 20 hahahahaha

No worries will wait to hear from you.
Do you have a wheel barrow I could borrow

How long would it take us to do them just so I have an idea I might be able to make this weekend if your keen

At a guess 2-4 hours, maybe this weekend, will know when its closer.
Also depends on the availability of the adjustment tool

Well Phil just went to Mitsubishi at tuggerah and I don't think it's worth $280 and he wasn't even goin to order it even if I wanted to but no matter a have a plan on where to get one I have seen for sale somewhere for way cheaper I'll be on the hunt tonight for it

$280
WTF, NO WAY, BLOODY RIP OFF'S, BUNCH OF C**NTS

not suprised.

And this'll be good, so we can do my tappets later this year

yeah I know it's a bloody joke but i will source one I have seen it

Went out to ZFL45H1s' dads house today and helped ZFL45H1 adjust his tappets. Awsome property overlooking a ginormous valley of the Wattagan mountains.
Got there at 9:15am and ZFL45H1 had already started pulling the top of the engine apart. His dad grinded one of my deep sockets into a tappet adjustment tool, then I got started on the tappets @ 12:00 and finished them @ 2:00pm. ZFL45H1 then put the engine back together while I scavanged through his wrecking FTO and grabbed plenty of spare parts . Job was finished @ 4:00pm and the engine started without anymore tappet noises .
Great day and thanks to ZFL45H1 for the parts and ZFL45H1s' dad for supplying KFC and Jack Daniels and Coke premix cans .
Some pics

Sounds like you had fun

Might have to borrow that tappet adjustment tool off of you some time.

Damn, that's a nice engine bay :p
Good job on the tappets!
We need to do Nick's at some time, his are pretty damn loud
Although, they are slightly more silent now, we added some stuff to the oil the other day

Not today I'm buggered If and when you really need a drive up to the Central Coast

Would you mind if I came down in a month or two to borrow the tool?

Yeah not tonight haha its almost midnight! Cool. Will practice on the old engine so Im not completely useless

Only question is whats the easiest way to measure the clearance?

Hey rob we can go up there together!

Oh and phil while youre at it can you replace my radiator hoses, re-paint my engine cover, re-align my front bar, fix my reverse light, put on my brake light cover, fix some rust and shout me a set of kicker speakers (dont worry I'll put those in myself, wouldnt wanna be lazy)

Cheers

It's called a feeler gauge.
