Well after spending the day putting in new gaskets and replacing the exhaust manifold on the Xj as well as getting all the bellhousing bolts in and tightened down there is no more engine leaks, no extremely loud exhaust leak and the “engine knock” is officially gone. Thing runs like a top and...
Well I'm in the process of scraping rtv to replace valve cover gasket and replacing broken exhaust manifold until the junkyard opens so I can go grab a couple interior trim pieces and odds and ends. Also hopefully my 12mm ratcheting wrench I left under a rig the other day if it's still there
It's work like that that makes you feel the need to go through everything on the vehicle before even driving it really. Which I tend to do on a new rig anyways but it really puts a damper on your mood toward what else your going to find. By the way the last bell housing was about half way out.
Well unfortunately haven't touched my runner in days as I've been working on the girlfriends xj I picked up for her the other day ( fixing leaks and trying to track down this knock/tap) but hopefully progress will resume soon. I know this stuff I'm about to talk about is not 4Runner related and...
Are you positive it's coming from the manifolds/headers seal? I don't know that these are prone to cracking or not but maybe. Or I used to have a tick that sounded like exhaust leak and after a bunch of messing around with it I ended up finding that the rear drivers side spark plug was nearly...
Going to start on my bumper build in the next few days but picked up a 94 xj for the girlfriend today and have some things to do to it as well. Couple pics of it. Overall it's in pretty decent shape but has a knock/tap when warm so that's first priority. Also a valve cover leak but not bad for...
I would agree that it would be easier to just dump the diesel out and fill them up with gas and be done but no one here has ever got fuel in there mouth when syphoning? I think you'll have a tough lengthy amount of time getting all the taste out and time is money so you may be better off buying...
Well after pricing metal and coming up with a build plan and totaling up weight for the rear bumper I’m wishing I would have went with the 901 coils. I’m around 100 pounds on just metal. Then I have a full size spare and fuel/water cans and possibly a hi lift. I feel like I’m going to be right...
I just looked at mine and assuming the are correct the smaller of the 2 runs into the intake elbow right where you have it and the larger one hooks to the very bottom of the maf sensor housing right behind the air filter. That could be the vacuum leak that’s helping to kill your mileage. Hope...
I really like those 4x sliders and I think for the money I may pick up a set although I feel like I may skid the legs with sheet metal to minimize hang up points
My nephews truck (89 Toyota pickup) just recently had a similar issue and it ended up being a ground wire from the sending unit in the tank had come loose. I would get a volt meter/ test light and check all the wires to and from sending unit to see if pump is working. If all is good check fuel...
Got my bumper and other stuff building supplies to start on my bumper. May have gotten a little gusset happy but I’ll eventually find a use for them all
