88 4runner 22re has slow leak where the metal pipe bolts into the intake manifold above the oil filter on the passenger side.
I could barely reach the bolts to try tightening them with the tire off.
Any tips on how to replace that o-ring in there?
Thx,
re. missing teeth - agreed, it won’t do a thing.
input bearing or misc. - I guess I’m hoping it will penetrate and clean ‘something’ related to 5th allowing fresh 80/90w gear oil to coat and help reduce the noise.
An independent shop replaced the manual tranny in my 88 SE5 with a rebuilt 10 years ago.
1 through 4 were always quiet. 5th was loud after the swap (quiet before).
I’m finally sick of the noise (it’s still the same, not louder).
I would like to avoid an input bearing job or replacing 5th due...
