      That gasket is a common leak point. So is the heat riser plate bushing which is next to the stud where you’ve put your red arrow.
    • BlackCat
      yeah it looks like it has the 5th gear spacer making it 85 and up.

      Good, I'm glad you got the issues taken care of. I made an edit to my post about CV boots. If it's a bad leak and it's been leaking for an unknown time, replace the axle. If its a small leak and the joint still has grease, re-boot it. I've...

      Theres a lot to unpack here in your very incorrect advice. I'll break it down as the resident toyota tech and OG GX owner, Tacoma owner, and FJ60 owner. 1- Your parking brake diag may be correct but don't forget the vehicle is in NY. Rust is...

      Yep, mine has.

      Very common spot to crack. Clean it up and JB weld it.

      Just to clarify, your static timing is set at over 3x’s the factory 7°BTDC? If so, I highly recommend not doing that, lol. Could you even get the timing at 33° with the distributor installed correctly or did it need to be a tooth off? That’s...

      Nope, gasket only. Be careful tightening, aluminum is soft and if you go in all hulk hogan you can pull the threads out.

      Yeah I thought it included it but I could be wrong. Apparently it doesn’t. It’s been several years since I’ve done mine. Just go oem then.

      IIRC the Remflex combo comes with that gasket (although OEM is fine too) and you're more than likely going to need a Remflex intake/exhaust gasket anyways. I would highly suggest coming up with whatever method works best for you after googling to...

      I know this is and old thread, but for anyone viewing this in the future with this question, his collar lifts are super, super popular in the 4runner community (see AZ4runners on facebook if you want) and he has a really good reputation in the...

      yep, you're on the right track. A vacuum gauge will help, and you can even try rigging up a home made smoke machine to push some smoke thru the intake to see if you can visually spot a leak. The truck is 40 years old so don't count out on wild...

      at 1200rpm its no longer running on the idle circuit its pulling from the main jet. So cutting power to the solenoid won't have any or minimal effect.

      BlackCat replied to the thread Thermostat Qestion.
      typically the thermostat is stamped with the temp when it opens. IE: it'll have a small stamp that says 190 on it or something. The plugs on your housing are caps from where previous vacuum ports were installed. Assuming your vehicle is...

      IAC at the time of the lean spike is 100%. It goes 100% at approximately 6 seconds into a cold start and remains there thru the duration of the log, which is 18 seconds. I will say that overlaying after start enrichment over the AFR that after...

      exactly what mine does. I'm assuming a new O2 sensor won't fix it and I'm not one to shoot the parts cannon at it. Sometimes it'll cold start perfectly fine so it's leading me to believe its a sniper issue and not a vehicle issue. Obviously...

      Still having issues with cold start lean spikes. Sometimes it’s fine, most times it’ll lean spike and sputter and recover. I’ve meticulously smoked the intake for vacuum leaks and made 2 exhaust side pre-O2 sensor leak repairs with no real...

      Hey now.... I wear my Patagonia/Arc'teryx hat correctly and have been to every one of the destinations plastered on my back windows. But maybe I do it wrong because I'm just a lowly SR5 owner?

      admitting your faults is the first step in healing.

      In theory its not the best for a trans, but obviously toyota makes good transmissions and as long as it can stay cool it won't have an issue.

      They all hunt on the highway in 6th. My stock TRD off road cannot for the life of it keep the converter locked while doing highway speeds. Its always locking and unlocking and downshifting. Front what I hear it can be tuned out. Your front...

      When I bought my 23 TRD OR I was issued a flat billed Patagonia hat that I was instructed to wear backwards and slightly sideways. I also have stickers all over the back windows, not of destinations I've been but from a combo pack that came up on...

      BlackCat replied to the thread FJ60 Grease On Front Hubs.
      more than likely the inner axle seal is failing, allowing gear lube to thin out the grease used for the birf's/wheel bearings and letting it sneak past the paper gasket. What does it look like on the knuckle side behind the tire? If its all...

      yeah, not to beat a dead horse, but the axle should just slide in without much fuss. You should absolutely not need to beat on anything to get it into place. If you were having some other type of issue with getting the axle in then I would look...
