That’s exactly what I needed! Thanks. More to follow after complete.

Once the exhaust manifold gasket and head gasket are replaced, Matilda should run much smoother. She’s a little shaken right now with leaks from both. Can anyone tell me if the measurement of pressures etc should be on a cold engine or a warm one? I speak a little Japanese, but don’t read any at...

Snorkel and new wheels. Exhaust is next.

The snorkel went on today. It took us some time to decide how to proceed, but better that than cut holes too quickly…. Torsion bars adjusted and wheels aligned as well.

I didn’t do anything complicated. I changed the oil, but also changed my brand. The Rotella I usually use turned out to be more expensive than liquid gold. I switched to Mobile Delvac 15w40. I use 40w Delvac on my boat and have been very happy with it so I figured I’d give it a try in Matilda...

He buys them in varying states and fixes them up like new. Nice guy and talented as well. He has a shop Autobahn Auto that has typicallybworked o. VW, BMW, Mercedes... Then I took my rig up to him to put in a new passenger window. He was taken (as we all have been).

I'm in Hampton VA. I talked my neighbor into getting a Delica and now he has 5.... We need to get a VA Deliclysm going this coming Spring/Summer!

OK, that makes sense. I am going to switch to Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 14w40. I use Mobile Delvac 1240 40w in my boat and have always been happy with it. I just have to make sure I don't accidentally swap oils between the two !

I have been using Rotella T5 15w40 since I bought Matilda. Thus far it seems to have been a good choice for the 4D56. I was shocked by the price increase when I went to look for oil today however. I usually buy several gallons so it lasts a few changes this I haven’t bought any oil in a while...

I’m in Hampton, VA. My neighbor owns a shop and several Delicas. Autobahn auto. Good people!

Don’t know where the previous owner is. It was purchased at an auction. I think he has decided to ship it rather than drive X-country.

Delibros, A friend in my neighborhood bought a 92 L300 that is in Puyallup, WA. He’s flying out from VA to bring it back but it needs work. Anybody know a shop in that area that can go through it, replace a blown tire, etc? Any steer would be appreciated. Noogie

Well, damn! That’s close by! Close enough to putter over some place and meet for a beer. I’m out of town next week, but the following week I’m full-up.

The Bilsteins are on and the difference is pronounced. I should have put new shocks on long ago. No longer does my front shoulder dip when making a turn. Far better ride at highway speeds and slow crawl. Get ‘em while they’re hot!

I hear ya.

You wouldn’t happen to be buying them from Martin at Autobahn Auto, would you? If so, that would be a “holy shit, small world” moment.

Perfect, I have an appointment today here in Hampton. Hopefully I have the same experience as you did. I also picked up some Bilstien front shocks that I am putting on.

Maybe once the weather and COVID restrictions get a little less onerous (this spring, I hope) we could get the Virginia Delicas all together. I’m always up for something.

Thanks Allular. I just ordered a pair as I’ve been needing front shocks for a little while now, but was looking for Bilsteins. I have been a Summit Racing customer for a while and have always been happy with them.
