Hey guys, so i bought a vh car from brisbane that i was assured wasnt underwater from the recent brissy floods, never got a chance to start her over before purchase.
Got home found out infact she was underwater, dropped oil about 3x new filter etc, took off rocket cover and wooh is she horrible under there.. I can understand that cars get carbon buildup but im guessing this ex bush basher hadnt had an oil change in a while, so after cleaning out the top of this 202 blue top got her running but sounded like she was just getting worst and worst, im no mechanic but engine sounded like it was i guess getting louder and louder, in a sense.
So stopped the engine and recleaned under rocker cover, and took off side covers and she is pretty bad in there too, anyway there is an easy fix solution, i was told break cleaner the a kazilion oil changes to try flush all the **** through.
Also i need to do auto tranny fluid, im sure this has been covered before can anyone point me in the right direction for help?
And lastly, today when i was removing the old radiator to replace, i managed to snap the top brass high pressure transmission hose, has anyone repaired one of these, is it worth reparing or just buy new complete hose?
She is only going to be used as a paddock car at my folks farm, got the half roll cage, harness's ready to go just need her running by easter for some derby shenanigans.
Thanks guys
