    3B Injector Lines Leak

    So I replaced all of those seals when I reinstalled the injectors. It almost appears like the aluminum washers for the return line are too thick.

    3B Injector Lines Leak

    I’ve ran into that on other diesels but there weren’t any when I took the lines off. It’s almost like the new washers for the return line are too thick.

    3B Injector Lines Leak

    I pulled my injectors for a HG job and now I cant get the injector lines to seal on the injectors. It appears that the line nut bottoms out on the injector before the line can seal, all new sealing washers on the return lines. Minor grove on the fuel line sealing surface, the injector side looks...

    3B Rocker Arm Variants, Help Needed

    I am the process of changing the head gasket on my 3B and found similar wear on all the exhaust rocker arms, the intakes seem fine. The arms are still available so I’m just replacing them. Once you wear or grind through the hard facing the base metal is exposed and will wear much faster and...

    3B Exhaust Studs

    That’s what I’d like to do but the local NAPAs are very limited on metric studs and I haven’t been able to extract an old one, even with double nuts and an impact.

    leaking priming pump 3B

    I fits a new primer pump you may have to dribble a little diesel in it before installing, a dry pump will not prime.

    3B Exhaust Studs

    I can't seem to find my metric thread pitch gauge. Anyone know the pitch for the exhaust manifold studs on a 3B? Thanks

    3B Head Gasket Set from SOR

    Just curious if anyone has used this set? I just received one and it seems a little cheap?

    Current 3B Part Source

    Guys, I haven't been here for quite awhile but my 3B is pushing compression into the cooling system, no water in the basement, which is good. I want to at least get a head gasket and pre-comb chambers before I pull the head. Where are a folks getting 3B parts from now? I live in Alaska so no...

    3B head crack repair: generally worth it, or just find a new head?

    My 3B overheated while idling during a bout of snow removal, I'd only had the truck a month or so and had hardly drove it. The PO had stated that a shop had replaced the head gasket. I found the t-stat installed upside down and the temp sender had crushed the t-stat so it would never open all...

    Wich 3B do I have?

    I have an 84 BJ60 with a 3B in it. I am looking at ordering some parts and I have some reason to believe this isn't the original engine. There seems to be a common cutoff date for parts around 1984, Is there a way I can tell what year my engine is? Thanks

    Stainless bolts??

    I’ve had a lot of experience with stainless fasteners in the marine industry. There are a couple things to keep in mind. First don’t run them in/out with an impact gun, the threads will gall and the bolt will seize, try to only use hand tools, secondly if you can get it they make anti-seize for...

    Block Heater for 3B

    I have both a freeze-plug heater, a 50 watt oil pan heater and a trickle charger, this is a standard North Slope set up. I have to say the little oil pan heater works great. The heat rises up through the block and everything gets nice warm oil at startup. I just went into NAPA and told them I...

    Thread Size on Oil Pressure Sender

    I have tried to put numerous 1/8" NPT fittings in those BSPT ports and never had any luck getting them to seal properly. I just buy the correct adapter. Mcmaster Carr sells them. :) 4860K141 Female to Male Adapter BSPT Male x NPT Female 1/8" $4.62

    Need to find Neutral 3-speed

    Damn! Neither linkage will move. May be it's in a bind? I'll try removing the drive-lines tomorrow.

    Need to find Neutral 3-speed

    So I finally started messing with this 69 FJ40 I got a few years back. I can't get the engine to turn over because the transmission is in gear. The old 3speed column shifter is seized so I disconnected it so I could manually put the trans in neutral. Problem is I can't figure out what is...

    Speedi-Sleeve Number?

    I know allot of folks don't like using them but I am in a bind and getting a new flange is not an option right now. So, does anyone know the CR part # for the sleeve that fits over the pinion flange? I've got a grove that's more than I can buff out and a new seal isn't cutting it. Thanks

    Brakes Will Not Stop

    I think I got it. I pulled the rear brakes and everything was free and in relatively good shape. The front shoes were worn so I went ahead and put new shoes on. I put it back together and bled it again. I got some more dirty looking fluid and some air, not a lot, but apparently it was enough...
