fordem

Hi fordem I got your reply. i just replied to the thread stating that no that pic isnt my engine and i posted a pic of my engine.

hi you posted about this, how do you stop oil entering the spark plug housing. i got about half inch in mine. many thanks for any info cheers.
On these engines a leaking valve cover gasket will get oil on the outside of the engine, not where the plugs are, however, a leaking plug tube O-ring is a different matter - that will, depending on how bad it is, allow the plug tube to slowly fill with oil - but - you end up with oil on the outside of the plug, the metal shell, the insulator, and the coil pack.

Can you decipher this one?

That Nitto Tire thing is back on the forum again. You cannot post to it, and at the bottom it says that it is from Post Release, and that Suzuki Forums is a member of Post Release. It's about giving away free tires, and they want all sorts of info. I have copied the link to it:
Looking for volunteers to test new tires- keep the set

Hi Fordem,
I was wondering if you know of a source for wheel flares for a 1999 Suzuki Vitara 3door? I am willing to look anywhere in the world.
Thanks

Hi Fordem!
Wondering if you would like to get involved with a poor guy who is having problems with his Suzuki Sport:

I know this is similar to the Esteem, which you are knowledgeable about. We are floundering with this one. Thanks, if you have the time!
All the best,

09823-40021 - SEAL, REAR CASE OIL - used on 1.6L SideKicks 89~98 & 2.5L Grand Vitara 99~05

33705-66D00 - CORD SET, HIGH TENSION - used on the 1.6L Esteem 99~02 (this is a sedan, no 4WD)

If you're shopping on line, SouthWest Suzuki Motors (Suzuki Parts | OEM Suzuki Parts | Genuine Suzuki Parts) will have Suzuki Genuine Parts at discount prices, RockAuto (RockAuto Auto Parts) - both vendors have what you're looking for.

You may be able to just walk into the closest auto parts chain - Napa, AutoZone, Advance Auto, etc - and if they don't have what you need on the shelf, they can usually get it in store in 2~3 days.

Helloo Fordem: the Vin # is JSAFTBO3V00217608, looking for a rear transfer case seal (this is a 4x4), an auto supply person said this should match a sidekick/tracker up to 1998? the Esteem did not have 4wd so dont know if that matters. I just need the wire number again, Thanks for everything. VNonna

If you give me the VIN numbers, along with a description of the parts you need, in most cases I can look up the required part numbers, and from that check to see which vehicles the part was used on.

Hello Fordem: Thanks your for your consideration and time. The plugs you mentioned in your last note seem to be the ones to match. The transfer case seal I am looking for is for the rear, which is a large seal which is wide. I have some sweating so I know it needs to be changed. You mentioned the Suz. Esteem which seems to match my engine size of 1.6 and was sold in the USA. So i am looking for that part as well. If you have a VIN # would that assist you? sorry I did not look back in our past correspondence so you may have asked me already. I have a friend with an older Jimney 1990 or so who also needs a rear transfer case seal, but that model for sure was not sold in the USA and wonder if a Sumarai seal might fit. Thank you again.
