I think if you ground out wire at temp sensor below thermostat housing bolts you will get gauge go to red with ignition on or engine running.

Ferp old school theory was a gallon of propane only had 80% the energy of gallon of gasoline so you just use more propane to keep up with gasoline. I like Propane's alleged 109 Ron octane. Ran 12 or 13 pounds boost and it rarely excited the knock sensor. Even ran for months with knock box mistakenly disconnected! Do that on a gasoline EA82T and you will have a grenade. Low comp 7.7:1 EA82T about to go back in once awd box shift attitude been sorted and I have my custom sway bar to suit

I may have confused some contributors who have kept up with my movements. This is carb block sporting twin port efi heads off a turbo engine. It has never had a turbo on it and is higher comp whatever 87 carb engines had. With normal exhaust as in EA82 y pipe and ea81 from there to tailpipe. Went bloody well on propane @ 22 dbtdc timing @800 rpm idle Then I spoilt it with some idle time and an idea along the UEL header idea that has been ignoring away in head for years. Now I know what a naked EA82T exhaust looks like, scewed a good turbo too but know what it looks like inside and how hard it is to get apart I am yet to try an EA82T without its turbo If the strangled up pipe from rhs head is the cause of my low power an unable to load it up can't recommend it other than poos and giggles Can hardly drive it up an incline at all but runs OK downhill. Can also rev it on the spot no load. Sounds like an early wrx or sick rotary. Gonna call in a a rootary and sube rally workshop for mystery sound quiz see if they reckon I have a Wankel under the bonnet

I think my reply to this got lost in cyberspace. Save my breath in long story and my experience...try new valve springs. I had very similar followed similar every path possible then ignored advice of d1ck brains that welded the cracks ....new valve springs from Subaru Japan and all was fixed and better. Bet me left but on your problem

TheGageinator, was there more thought behind your suggestion it sounded a little restrictive? I found I needed to remove the baffling heatshield and fiberglass stuffing after the rhs pick up and found to my complete surprise that the exhaust tube diameter OD looked very restrictive as in a lot smaller than between the two heads! Not sure if it is my fueling choice combo or this skinny pipe and opened up exhaust side of a turbo housing but I have very little go! But does it sound a gutteral idle note I did a record of it, saved it but no idea where it went in my 7" x 4" device

I see why blow by could be one thing but the buttermilk.... Must be two different problems. Time for an autopsy, new rings n stuff

Thanks. 19 and no taper me thinks

Think seen spark plug scewrd in same hole make it a fourteen mm . is that 2.0 mm pitch?

No oil in water or vice versa but added catch can fills with buttermilk feeding from lbs rocker cover. Now dipstick is blowing out and oil spraying out inside engine bay. Can't pinpoint why buttermilk in pcv system without other symptoms.Welch plugs are brass. Engine fully built 120,000 km \ 10 years ago. Maybe I have revved the nipples off it too often? I think I know how Cinderella felt....rego runs out at midnight so two hours to get her home for some sebatical time

Love the ingenuity of the grease gun line! Andsrn....sure it's 19 threads per inch? I always thought the std senders for idiot light etc was 27 tpi but learned they are 28 tpi. My aftermarket Saas brand gauge sender unit uses the coarser 27 tpi taper, so trick is to buy fittings of the finer 28 tpi taper and run a 27 tpi taper tap through it. Works this way but legend has it can't make a finer 28 tpi taper tap through a 27 tpi taper hole. The plug I talk of in first post, thinking it is not taper. I have another ea82 with this port in use. Must investigate a bit more. Thanks guys n gals

Does anyone know the correct thread size and type of the larger plug on the EA82 oil pump exterior? Not after the smaller 1\8 inch taller in 28 threads per inch - the other larger one that is about 16 mm across its threads that not appear to be a taper. I have a brass fitting that is about 0.10 mm larger across the threads, looks close but won't screw in. I don't know correct size or thread count of brass fitting at hand. The factory plug has an 8 mm hex in it.thanks for any knowledgeable help????

Importantly was it running before weber went on, assuming this is what happened, if so would not be chasing timing unless you loosened off dizzy lock down bolt. Replace one lead at a time so not to screw it up? Firing order is not same as other fours as it is 1324.

You might try to bypass it for sake of getting it running

Oh good. All I need is for him to look in

Thanks. Helps me.

Just what I was thinking. Some clever bracketry be needed to carry this out. Need to chop ends first to even get it in there for thinking time. Thanks. Wondering if I am Robinson Crusoe on this idea attempt?

Reason is looking at fit rear sway bar from ea82 to ea81 ....looks to be needing some thought and 40 mm cut off each side to start the idea

Pretty good idea the catch can on the pcv system. Mine is sort of different. A filter is on the rhs rocker cover and catch can feeds from lbs and vapours go to the air filter. I can see my 18 mth old alloy radiator losing water, but also getting baby poop colored buttermilk slop in the catch can and draining it before it gets to air filter. OK now oil in water or vice versa and got brass freeze plugs in heads Runs like a dream. Never found this unique problem before. 120,000 km since full rebuild ten years ago. Has to be head gasket surely? I do also have coolant going through gas converter for propane. Four days before runs out of rego. Time to investigate after then!

Roughly 80 mm wider in the rear end, 70 or 75 seems to be in the increased width of rear trailing arm mounting point on the tubular subframe

Thanks Brat man. So is it an oil cooler adaptor that fits on the oil pumps filter fitting pushing filter further from pump body? Not water cooled turbo?

Has anyone got measures for both series.? How much wider is an EA82 than EA81 in the rear end? Would not hurt to compare front tracks too!

Apologies if I asked before....still wondering the finer details where oil feed begins for the turbo and where drains back to sump. Is it same ad ea82T is fed?

I thought the screw retaining the choke knob on my 84 Brumby was pretty tiny for a car component. I reckon I found the smallest screw out on the underside of the XT cockpit binnacles where the light reostat slider and is it wiper speed slider other side? The little recessed Philip s screws are about same as those in spectacle hinges!
