Can anyone tell me were I can find any information on changing my timing chain for a stock 80 LUV?

A factory shop manual has the info. Haynes and Clymer has it as well but not as clear. I found that the factory manual has about the best info and could usually be found on E-Bay for as low as 10 bucks, money well spent in my opinion.

Don't scrimp. I think the service book says you only need to change the gears and chain. Change the idler too. I didn't one time, and boy it was a mistake.

Grandmaster of the "Shade Tree" way.. I can't see the yard for all the cars. Come on down and we will sit on the porch and watch the grass grow.

I would think it would be just to save on shipping. I don't know how long parts are available in Japan, on older autos.

Can you get me a new engine, carb, and fuel pump while you're there in Japan?

You know, since you're out, and all.

Anyone else need anything I can look for over here. I don't know if I can find what you need but I will do what I can.

So, Why are you in Japan right now??

OK, I'm over it. Where's the beer?

Yep i need something.

If you could spare some time to look into it for me i would appreciate it.


Im after 2x 1mm OS piston kits for a 1991 DT200R Yamaha.
A few gasket sets and a few engine seal kits.
Also need a con rod kit eventually for the spare engine.

Depending on price of course.
There is aftermarket stuff out there but the prices are killing me.


Im sick of being robbed.
A guy on eBay here in Australia had full gasket sets for YZ125's and YZ250's and other two strokes. $60 each. I asked him about one for the DT and hes like thats $110. Its bullshit, i can buy a full gasket set for my ute for that money and its got a hell of a lot more crap in it. I can get a full gasket set for a DT125R from the UK for $30 plus post and the only difference is the head gasket.

Trust me to pick a bike to fix up that wasnt sold on the US domestic market. And no, i dont fancy talking to Canadians.


Cheers, Bob.

I am in stationed in Japan for the Marines. Bob I will add your parts to my list and I should be able to let you know my Monday of next week. I am diving all this weekend and wont get much change to go out and look.

No worries, thanks.

Theres no hurry.
Im crook and on unemployment, money is a bit tight.

Ive just been getting things for the bikes as a sell off a few car parts i dont need.

I did have some cash here but that got chewed up when i had to go off to Hospital last week. Its getting a bit bad when you have to take a 3hr drive out in the country to find a doctor and a hospital that will give you more than an hour in the emergency room on a drip.


Cheers, Bob.

OK guys I have scoured this freaking rock for the past month and a half anyone what to guess what I found. If you guess a 1980 Chevy LUV you are wrong. But if you guess a hole lot of nothing you would win a prize. Who would have thought that in freaking Japan there are not dang Isuzu's. Well at least there is not dealership or any in the junk yards. Sorry guys!!!

WTF!?!

At first I thought that was someone's idea of a LUV turned passenger car, then I realized it must be a production model.

Why haven't we seen this before?

What else are you bogart'n?
