Holy shit i didn't realize how many videos you've made on these, gonna be a huge help! Thanks again -another washingtonian

[@OhKeiGarage]

Ya it’s almost like I enjoy making them or something lol! Hope they help! Just gonna keep adding em as I do stuff in case it can help out someone else. What sambar do you have and what part of Washington??

Solution is to drive it more and also make sure the T stat is functioning correctly (most are wore out) a worn out T stat allows for the engine to take longer to heat up to operating temp as well as the oil. None of the mayo will make it's way into the engine without having to first going thru the air filter (highly unlikely).

@@OhKeiGarage yeah me too. I got a 96 Dias s. The exhaust will be my next project mine seems to be extra loud so probably has leaks and I’m smelling fumes in the cab. But I appreciate the videos it’s hard to find American made English videos about the sambar.

@@crujones4046 right on! i know mr. subaru makes some good vids too. i'm just trying to cover more stuff. stuff that most people would get, but there's a few folks that are super new to sambars so hopefully these tips can help out :) and ya just do yourself a solid and get a aftermarket exhaust. sounds good and gets more attention lol

@@OhKeiGarage I love Washington my dad lives in port hadlock. Where did you get the muffler for your Dias?

[@OhKeiGarage]

@@crujones4046 500yenshop.com and just search "sambar muffler"

[@suearmstrong3404]

Do you block up the hole in the filter box or just leave it open??

[@OhKeiGarage]

yes, i use a vacuum plug. the rubber caps. you can buy em off amazon :D

Thanks man! New Sambar owner here and needing help with smoke in my air box. I'm hoping this will help. Mine is carb'd though, so I didn't know what the other hose was coming into my air box! That helps. Can I disable that hose? Smoke from the exhaust pours in, and now she's not running right.

[@OhKeiGarage]

right on!! congrats! so that is the exhaust hose to help heat up the engine when it's cold. you can just re route them houses to recirculate back into the muffler and the air box just close it off so nothing can get into through those holes. basically that thing has the flap that allows hot exhaust in to help warm the engine up quicker since it's carb'd, once it's warmed up, that flap inside the box will close. so you can just close it yourself. it'll just take longer to warm her up.

@@OhKeiGarage Thank you! I'm gonna disable it and just see how it goes!

[@OhKeiGarage]

im afraid if i attempt to remove it, it'll break haha, it adds character. just added a little bit of that honda grease and its prefect!

[@richardbedard1245]

I wish you were better prepared when you do a commentary. You ramble and repeat so much that I lose what the video is about!

[@OhKeiGarage]

🤣 these videos were very early on. It was a learning curve for me 🤙🏻
