We did put some locktight on but they must have just not been tightened down properly. Ill have to put some more on when I get the time.

Well I feel really silly right now. I wiped everything off and took it for a drive around and then checked out everything underneath once more. I noticed that one of the two large bolts that are on the very bottom of the timing gear cover was covered in oil that was clear instead of grimy like...

Ya I've tried that. The only problem is that it doesn't leak when the engine is at idle, only when it is under load. Even if I set the throttle to idle at 1500-2000 RPMs nothing comes out.

The last time I had the valve cover off was when I fixed the galley plug a couple years ago and this leak just started a few months ago. Plus the oil for sure leaking form somewhere below the valve cover, there is no oil until you get to the level of the main pulley.

The entire front and right side of the block along with the oil cooler, spring, and axle are covered in oil after driving for just a few miles. The galley plug has already been fixed so that isn't the problem. I have also replaced the front main oil seal and timing gear cover gasket thinking...

There is a Terrible oil leak on the passenger side of my 1990 fj62. It does not leak if I am driving around town; just when I have been in the interstate for a bit. When I get off the interstate the entire passenger side of the block, oil cooler, motor mount and leaf spring are all so covered...

The problem turned out to be a small hose that goes to the oil cooler. It felt really old and as far as I know its the original. Must have sprung a leak when pressure spiked after it overheated.

I have checked all the hoses that i can see without removing anything and they all look fine. All the water is dripping off of a metal hose that runs right in front of the oil pan. It coming from above that but I cannot tell where. Its not the overflow tank, I took out the radiator myself and...

So the other day my 1990 fj62's thermostat went out. the engine got hot but it never went into the red, only right below the 3rd mark. It did however get hot enough to blow a hole in the radiator. i replaced the thermostat and took the radiator to a shop to get repaired. I put everything back...

I currently drive a 1990 62 so I defiantly know what you are taking about when you say they all make noises which is the main reason I'm even considering buying a car that is making strange noises. It's got 213k miles. When you say going through the transfer case do you mean just flushing and...

I'm thinking about buying a 1989 62 that I saw driving around town with a for sale sign on it. I just took it for a test drive and it starts and runs fine except for a faint whining noise at high revs right before it shifts. It does not make the noise if I put it in park and rev it. Do yall have...

Thanks for the hep guys! We are thinking about plugging up a he we found that we think is where the oil drains into the oil pan and then using an air compressor to blast all the junk off. Is there a high chance of getting stuff clogged up if we do this?

I'm replacing the valve cover gasket on my 1990 fj62 and when I took it off the valves are covered in some gross flakey stuff. I want to scrape it off but I am worried about it getting in the oil passages because it looks like oil is just dumped in the valve cover and seeps into the pan through...

I have already replaced the carb not have ran into bunch of other problems. I live in knoxville
