    Thanks dannymax. Would you ship them to Perth, Western Australia? If so, how much for parts and shipping? Thanks again!

    Parts Wanted Carb and v-boost brackets

    Hi all. Hoping someone may be able to help. I'm after the bracket on the carbs that the throttle return cable mounts in. Mine is missing, and the PO has mounted the fuel overflow hose coil from the oil pan for the cable to run through! Also after the small bracket that secures the v-boost cable...

    Japanese engine difference?

    I found some charts that Sean Morley posted on here showing all years from '88 to '02 for US (excluding CA) starting with 2we. The one I'm looking at is 2we-022249. If I'm reading the chart correctly, that puts it at '92? I just wasn't sure if Japan had a different prefix.....

    Japanese engine difference?

    Thanks MaxMidnight. That was the info I have been able to find so far, but I saw somewhere that it was mentioned that the cams could be different. I wouldn't think so though........ Also, the engine has prefix 2we which seems to suggest a US engine? Do Japanese engine numbers have a different...

    Japanese engine difference?

    Thought it might be worth mentioning that it is claimed as a '92 engine with approximately 16,000 kms

    Japanese engine difference?

    Hey all. I have found a replacement motor locally (kind of) for my gen 1 VMAX after an oil pump seizure caused catastrophic damage. The seller of the engine has said it is a Japanese import. Was the only difference with the jap models the lack of v-boost or were there any internal differences...

    Engine squeal then knocking!

    Hey guys, update #2...... Just got the pistons and rods out. Big end bearings are all pretty bad but no. 2 is totalled!! Got heat discolouration halfway up the rod and on the crank. The journal is pretty scored as well. Next up to split the cases and check out the mains!

    Engine squeal then knocking!

    Hey all. Update, I pulled the engine today and checked out the oil pump. Found the drive gear on the pump free spinning on the shaft and the pump shaft seized. The pickup screen had about half of the mesh pulled into the pump and full of debris. The pump pulley had kept spinning, rounding off...

    Engine squeal then knocking!

    Thanks for the input guys. Sorry, I'm new to the whole forum thing. I'm in Perth, Western Australia. Parts are pretty thin on the ground, let alone engines! I figured by the metal in the oil that it was probably big end material. Looks like I'll be without a ride for a while...........any other...

    Engine squeal then knocking!

    Hi all! I'm fairly new to the forum but it has helped me out no end! I have a 95 max and just finished clutch replacement, shifter segment upgrade new starter clutch and a few other bits and pieces. Took it for a ride yesterday, not pushing too hard. Went to accelerate but didn't have much...

    Primary driven gear interchange?

    Great! Thanks mate. I'm in Western Australia, and there isn't much help here for the max. From what I can see, the later one appears to have a flat machined around the gear at the base of the teeth and the tooth profile appears to be slightly different. Thanks again for your advice. P.s...

    Primary driven gear interchange?

    Hi all! Just joined the forum after much reading to get me out of trouble on many occasions. I've had a look and can't find an answer on my current puzzle and was hoping someone could help!!! What is the difference between part number 99999-02924-00 and 26h-16150-10-00 primary driven gears and...
