Daihatsu engine problem
« on: December 26, 2009, 21:41:07 »
My sportrak engine froze over the bad spell,(I know it should have antifreze in,just had to top it regulay and been to busy),defrosted it and try to start it after refilling the system,took a lot of water and 2l of anti freeze.Ran ok stopped it and now it won't run.At first thought it was the starter jammed,stripped the starter ok.Then thought  better check oil ,loads of oil in (too much)and a lot of water on bottom of dipstick.Question is ;Will it just be the cylinder head knacked of could it be the engine that's gone?if it is there's a sportrak going.Need help on this one  :undecided:
Now got some camacs and bfg a/ts can't get it stuck.Need longer legs.

  id have thought the block would be fine but youd have a couple  of bent valves in the cylinder head and a knackered head gasket.

  ive got a sportrak for spares or repairs if your after a new 1.6 engine? is yours for road use?
90..standardish

Well it;s now sold.If anybody requires spares for Sportraks look up Ian Barlett from stafford on fleabay.Got my autolocking hub from him now he's got it back after 9months still attached to the sporti.Got a Vit again softop with wide wheels and steps from a hairdresser I think :D,can'y wait to try and drown it again.
