The idea as far as i am aware is to stop oil vapor from the engine breather and soot from EGR gasses mixing which gunks up the inlet.

Uni joints in the front tail shaft could be a possibility, especially since it only happens when you're driving all 4 wheels

If they're still available ill take one rumpig. I''ve been keen on them since i found this thread.

I thought i had an oil leak there, ended up being the rocker cover gasket which wouldnt seal on the crack where the timing case meets the head and the oil just ran down there. a bit of RTV silicone fixed that. might be worth a look?

I'm reviving an old thread here and probably going to open a whole new can of worms but I've found this which i thought a few people may be interested in. http://www.baileysdiesel.com/on-highway/truth-adding-two-stroke-oil-diesel-modern-common-rail-engines/

I've had mine fitted for a couple years now also, no problems at all. One little thing i did was glued some rubber around the aluminium pipe where it goes past the radiator as it was rubbing a bit. I do have to take the pipes off when i want to get to the air and oil filters but its not hassle.

In my experience, aftermarket rocker cover gaskets are crap. i went through 2 in about 3 months, bought a genuine one and no troubles since. I got mine from Ebay it was about $40 Heres a link...

Ive got the wrangler duratracs, very happy with them they have over 40,000ks on them and still plenty to go! good choice.

Looks good mate! How hard was it to fit up the Commodore seats? I'm looking at upgrading the horrible bench seat in my single cab soon,

39nm? no way. If the last step in the torque specs is to tighten it a certain amount of degrees then it wont need re checking as they are torque to yield. Specs should come with the new gasket.

I think someone else on here had a similar problem a while ago, its a big job to get to that little o-ring in there, Stop leak might be the go haha!

Best bet would be to get hold of a pressure tester and test it while the engine is cold, i had a little hose that would drip only after the car had sat for a while and cooled right down.

How do you plan on sealing that back up?

Gday, I'm assuming you mean the outer timing cover so you can get to the timing chain? there is one bolt down the bottom thats pretty well hidden.

yeah thats all we used, i think the cheap hole saw just got blunt and it burnt the paint a little, not that you can notice it with the snorkel on there. Dont forget to paint inside any holes you drill to avoid rust as well.
