Nice work all round MIG, The Carbon build up is telling, think mine has a walnut treatment in its future. Thanks for posting Vid.

Service position time



Did not need to buy a T10093 Bunnings M10 x 120mm bolt does the trick for $3, this allows you to pull the front carrier forward to have access to the engine without draining the coolant \ AC system.

The dam injectors pulled out with the block when I removed the lower fuel rail; BTW erwin is incorrect; you do not need to remove the HPFP when doing this service; only a 17mm flare nut spanner is needed.

So while I waited to have the injectors resealed, a 180A alternator was installed, and I found that my washer pump was leaking, so replaced that too.


Before and after the cleaning.

Wow, I am amazed that this pump was still working; it must have leaked and flooded the poor motor.

Nice one I have that to do soon when I can find the time.
Have you logged timing pull before and after the clean?
I'm hoping it will help with this as mine is pretty aggressively pulling timing (10 degrees) at the moment.

Great thread mate, love the updates and photos. Nice work!

Nah, I don't have a timing log, the main issue I was having was cold misfires under light throttle low RPM, eg the onramp onto the freeway.

Idle seems much smoother, will see about fuel economy.

I can check the timing out now, what measuring value would you like?

[kamold]

You need to log RPM, ign angle retard per cylinder, air mass, throttle valve position, ignition angle.
Ideally in 3rd or 4th under load to max RPM.
