Originally posted on a fueling screw thread. Wanted more attention so creating its own. This is something noticed by my friend, who is the mechanical guru performing the head swap. But also something I’ve noticed in the past when adjusting rocker clearances. When swapping out the camshaft...

Hey all! Been tinkering and reasonably confident in the cause but wanted to see if anyone else has some thoughts on this. The head was replaced last week after a snapped balance belt, timing jump, and subsequent destroyed valves. Since then, I’ve done a couple 200 mile drives in addition to my...

Hi all, for some backstory I’ve owned this 1993 Delica L300 for about 2 1/2 years, as my only car to boot. Originally named the Silver Fox by Nomadic Van, I also use the name ”Silva”. The rust has started to set in and the miles are racking up but it was time to move in and utilize this van for...

Heyo, more things to ask. This one is a problem I’ve been trying to pinpoint this last bit. I have a grinding/howling noise that is noticed when coasting in 4wd. Noticabely at higher speeds but I believe I’ve heard it down to 20mph. Sounds exactly like this… - this is what happens when your...

Hey all. Emergency here. I was swapping out my clutch and flywheel on my 4D56 with a D4BF kit. The D4BF flywheel has a larger pilot bearing which I didn’t realize until everything was pulled. Does anyone have a part number for a replacement that would be compatible with the larger OD of the D4BF...

Hey all, I’ve been meaning to replace the lower braces on my subframe sitting beneath the oil pan. As you can see, they be bent:/ Wondering if there’s any locally in the Pacific Northwest (near Portland) off a wrecked L300? Cheers Jon

Caster Bolts? IDK what to call them. Anyways, I‘ve ignored this long enough but the left side adjuster bolt slipped some time ago. However, the tires doesn’t seem to be wearing unevenly, and the van has been tracking normally. My last alignment was sometime towards the end of 2021. These photos...

Hey all, trying to replace my rear axle parking brake hanger which has fallen apart plus find some used brake lines if possible. Original ones didn’t get mounted in the bracket and has since bent. Rather not re-bend them. Willing to pick-up if in Portland area.

Hey all, I know some of you have added Seafoam to your fuel but I was thinking of adding some to my oil. I’m coming up on another change and happened to grab a can last time I was at the store.. Any thoughts? Adding something to my oil is kinda a foreign concept to me so wondering if the...

Well, I was scrolling through Good Karrma for some misc items and came up on this. https://delicapartsusa.com/products/good-karrma-l300-disc-brake-conversion-kit Disc brakes, holy shit. Has anyone tried this yet? Thinking of sinking the cash next month after I finish moving and fix the rust...

Welp, here I go again. After a particularly hard cold start, something in my turbo seemed to go and I got a grinding noise almost (I’m still trying to place a proper wording on the noise) on startup. I ran the diesel heater the day after and even with a quick start the noise came up. This lasts...

Heyyo, anyone got any leads/selling a rear propellor shaft in the US for a manual Delica? Figured I’d ask before I asked a shop to weld some length to my old one. Cheers!

Hey all, so my rear driveshaft (manual trans) has blown two oil seals now. Last one blew less than 24hrs. I’ve replaced the U-Joints (made sure to mark the alignment). This all started happening after the new leaf springs were installed and driveline angle was corrected(more or less). I believe...

Heyo! I’m about to start a Delica build so looking to get rid of the interior pieces. 2 Captains chair, 1 rear bench + carpet if wanted. I’m located in White Salmon, WA but could drive to Portland if needed. Everything is in decent shape but showing some usual wear. Right side Captain chair is...
