How often to rear main seals fail? I have a similar, though less severe leak and I've already replaced the oil cooler gasket and fuel pump gasket. http://www.pinzgauer.com/img/assemblies/01-01.png SAV is showing a gasket that goes between the engine and timing set cover and that looks like a pain to...

Yes.. I have a carb issue. By the way, on the last picture in the post, I see the vacuum line to the brake, and another going to the back of the engine. In my truck that is the one going to the distributor. Where is that vacuum line going in that truck?? JC Yeah, mine is Austrian and has quite a fe...

Worth trying a compression test, any significant difference between #1 and the other jugs might imply a ring problem. Also get an endoscope down the bore and inspect the cylinder walls. Other than that your kind'a left with exploratory surgery or monitoring the situation to see if it progresses. Cr...

This is exactly why I went with the SSI system. I think if you said "water" around my pinz it would have issues. Now I can beat through Creeks at speed and it never skips a beat. I had gone so far as to spray the distributor down with hair spray, an old vw truck I learned years ago to kee...

For the past several months, I've had a slight ticking coming from the front cylinder when hot. It sounds like the typical rocker chatter from the engine, but just a *hair* louder from the front cylinder. As I rev the engine, it becomes slightly more pronounced. If I hold a screwdriver to my ear, it...

Hello all, I'm reviving an old thread because this is STILL bothering me. So in the past year, Pinz has been super trouble free, fun, and helpful. Those of you unaware, I am from Houston and was in one of the areas worst affected by hurricane Harvey. I'm thankful that me and my family are totally fi...

I've used Imgur a lot. One-click upload. No need to sign up. Tinypic works pretty good as well

If anyone has tips on patching, I'm very interested. I'm getting lots of water in the back and need it stopped. Exact match isn't a huge concern. Thanks in advance!

the bolt looks like a broken end from the cable keeper for the choke (starter) cable That's exactly what I thought, but both are in place. In fact, I just got the choke working again haha The fuel appears to be weeping from the right side of the pump from the big nut. Maybe a replacement is in orde...

So I have been driving my Pinz a bit lately, as I usually do. I decided to pop the engine cover and look everything over. I found something weird. I found this weird black stuff that had dripped on the bottom of the fuel pump. It looked like melted plastic but it was definitely a sludge. In addition...

I *know* there has been a thread on this before, but I cannot find it from searching. My handbrake latch is stuck. I can pull it out just fine, then rotate and push in. When it comes to rotate it back to the standard position though, it will not rotate. Every now and then it will return using only s...

Maybe I was special, but my install wasn't so bad. I did learn a lot though. I pulled both the headers and ground the weld off with a bench grinder. Then I installed both headers and tried to install the flex coupler. That was the wrong thing to do. It didn't fit. Pulled both headers again, slipped ...

kdiqq, As said, Hagerty is a secondary insurance company for classic (25 years or older),collectible, rare and special interest vehicles only. Just saying the word "regular" earns an automatic "NO". And asking any question that sounds like they are going to be "at risk"...

Big warning on Hagerty. I spoke with them at length about what they cover. In very plain English, I was told that daily driving my Pinzgauer or even regular driving would cause a claim to revoked. They said they only cover for the occasional cruise, car show, and 'Sunday Drive'. I even asked about t...

Wow, so mine is different.... I have a picture from when I was checking valves... Any chance that vacuum line was deleted in the Austrian version??
