PV in Australia, and oil in throttle body.....

Dec 18, 2004 1 Replies

Seasons greetings to you all,



Two quick questions, does anyone know if the PV series were ever imported into Australia?



Second question. Put in a new air filter for the 79 245 and I pulled off the hose from the filter box to the bottom of the throttle body. There was an amount of oil in the bottom of the throttle body. I checked the flame trap and it is not blocked. Does this mean stuffed rings? The beast has about 400K on it. It is also sometimes a pain when starting hot. A mate mentioned this could be rings and low compression.



Any thoughts?



Thanks,



Paul


Sorry, another one.

Why does my 84 240 have a restricted hose from the filter box to the throttle body? Would I be better off getting the older hose which is all the same diameter, or is there some advantage in this style of hose?

Thanks again,

Paul
