mine was a au3 e-gas motor, pretty much au2 got the mls gasket standard. au1 were still the graphite gasket.

the sump after myself and my dad played with it
Image

Image

its close still but i never had a issue with rubbing
Image

Image

for some reason mine looked to sit higher.
Image

lastly fitted in with a serp setup. i was running au tensioner, alt, p\s pump
eb a\c brackets spaced out with el compressor

Many thanks for the intuitive photos!

Did you have to run a special length belt to allow for this? Also with the AC compressor mounted lower, did that belt rub on the tensioner, or did it just appear really close?

Not sure what I'll do with AC compressor yet, whether I run it in the std spot, run it down low out of the road like the ED is (Makes engine access, coil, etc easy), run all AU gear and delete the TX valve accordingly and run the expansion valve instead...

Cheers,
Tim

no worries. i knew they were somewhere

yes, i did. no rubbing from what i could tell. was just rather close so i took the grinder to the tensioner body and took some metal off to help with clearance.
it wasnt much though, as i didnt want to hurt the structrual integrity of the tensioner

only time mine touched was when i stacked it as i snapped the tensioner in the impact.

i can find the pm i got off devilxr and efgiar off boosted falcon if you would like me to?

Timmy, I have an XH belt tensioner here I would be willing to part with.

Cheers

Ah Ok... What's an XH tensioner give me? :oops:

Guessing something with serp and lower mounted AC pump? The tensioners are s**t and end up on the piss on what seems like a regular basis... I'd sooner buy new for that reason, but I don't want something that is rare or unique or impossible to find?

Cheers,
Tim

XH utes use the log manifold, with a serpentine belt setup.

The tensioner was unique to the XH as it was designed to clear the throttle body.

They are exxy new, but can be found second hand.

I have not seen a stuffed tensioner myself and personally believe they are a far better alternative to the standard 3 belt setup.

Cheers
BenJ

Really? Well the AU motor I bought has a huge separation in the tensioner and the in-laws falcon is wearing the edge of the belt away because it has a C**k eyed tensioner... I feel like the select few falcons I've seen I'm yet to see one with a straight tensioner? Unless I'm unnaturally biased which is always quite possible... :?

I may have to chase up this idea then as it may be the ideal route? I'll run a BBM regardless so issue there... Would sooner keep the AC mounted down low out of the road though where possible... As much as I would like to run a full AU AC system and delete the TX valve...

Oh well next time I'm thinking about it and at the inlaws I'll get a photo of it and the one on my AU VCT motor and post up here...

Cheers,
Tim

timmy if there is seperation in the tensioner, the belt rubbing or its C**k eyed means the tensioner is just about stuffed.
i recently replaced mine due to that problem..
old original tensioner..

new tensioner.

To build on that here is the tensioner on the AU motor I purchased...

And from a bit higher angle:

Massive difference in gap on this one... Do you know how long your old one lasted for Troy? If they're wearing out faster than the belt then I diss the design... :?

Cheers,
Tim

that ones cactus!..lol

they last a long time, you will probably find its still the factory tensioner..
our au still has the original tensioner, actually up untill recently i beleive it still had the original belt, had to change it due to cracking.so 11 years/220'000km and is still ok..

the one i replaced on my engine was originally off a ef wreck that had 390'000km so it was well used before i got it, it was a genuine tensioner but i couldnt tell if it had ever been replaced..
a new one should last atleast 150-200'000+km

...As far as I was aware BSP is the common tapered pipe thread while NPT was the less common straight cut pip thread... Usually used in bulkhead fittings and that as a nut will screw all the way down while you can then screw a fitting on after the nut... Sort of like hydraulic fittings... I suppose though, there is always the risk that the fitting you screw in wont line up where you want it to go... Sort of one of those, half a turn not tight enough type things...

Cheers,

It's a bit late but, BSPT stands for British Standard Pipe Taper, and NPT stands for National Pipe Taper, which is the American standard. They are both tapered so that they seal against the threads. The thread pitch is similar but not exactly the same. You can get parallel threaded BSP(P) which has a non-tapered thread like a bolt. These need a bit more sealant but you won't find much of this below 1 1/2".

When you are tapping the thread, have the fitting on hand to periodically check how far it will screw in and you should be right.

Cheers,

Evan.

Hey Lads,

For the sake of curiosity... For someone like me who is not a welder (and esp can't weld thin metals)... Is this:

Image

Worth $440?

Is it something that will give $440 worth of improvement? I reckon it does look super tidy, but not sure on the attached price tag... Of is something simpler just as effective?

Like this:

Image

For like $100-$150?

Not the biggest fan of the 2 inches of chrome into blue silicon bend, into 2 inches of chrome, into silicon bend... Looks tacky... And all the steel edges inside the bends can't helps for catching air...

Thoughts or advice at all?

Cheers,
Tim
