A couple of things here. Do I Rebuid my 2f (please recommend a good engine rebuilder in the PNW) install a Fuel injection kit. Or find a 1Fz, I have a H55 and fj company makes a 1fz to h55 bell housing. then the fuel injection is already equip. A 1FZ rebuild would still be in order. I am...

not a direct question about the flange. I will be replacing the downpipes piece. the "branch" pipe that comes off the downpipe hooks to the brass contraption under the hood. Do I need that brass contraption if I am not running an air pump?

Do you have a rear heater under those School-Mann seats? What seat bracket did you go with?

BUMP

I am trying to clean and re lubricate the Trip and ODOM on the speedometer. I started taking everything apart carefully. I got to the point where I need to remove the Pin that holds the shaft of the ODOM numbers. you can't real pull it out if the speedometer dial is there. That takes...

I think I contacted over a year ago and you weren't making them anymore

With a NPT tap and a NPT brass plug or pipe plug, just hand tight would seal it from an exhaust leak? I have a JimC plug on my EGR block of and I have zero issue with not sealant on it. I would think maybe with the temperature swing from hot to cold would loosen it. But I don't have that...

Thanks for the response!

Yeah I have put that stuff on the threads of the plug. I would assume the same on the plug just sealing based on the taper. might ba a dumb question. can you weld brass to cast? or would I use the black steal plugs? I will shoot some pics

Any body have any new ideas? I have put multiple brass fitting with multiple compounds, sealers, thread lock, brass fitting, black steel, they all keep backing out. I fear if I tighten to tight it will crack the manifold.

So pull the Trans to see if anything looks funky? Then run motor to see if the noise still is there? have you pulled belts off one my one to see if the noise stops? and I think you did the pull each plug wire method, and no change?

Mine is very prevalent Cold and at about 1K rpm. LCNW said if it was the rear main bearing that you could see movement on the fan up front under load. not sure if that eliminates that or not and with the "NO METAL" in the oil filter.

I am super interested in this. I have the same noise, in the same location. for years I thought it was an exhaust leak. Mine does quite down after warm up. so everyone told me it must be exhaust. replace manifold with machined ones, all new gaskets, block of plates, removed EGR. I back...

I have been chasing this tick for a very long time. I can't tell you when it started. Thought it was an exhaust leak. so went through a bunch of exhaust work. So that is about the tick noise I'm speaking of. Speeds up with RPM in neutral and driving. Clutch pedal in or out doesn't change...

Ok I got the manifold drilled out and tapped. the issue I have not is the plugs that I have in there (brass pipe thread) deep backing out and loosening? I tried NPT plugs same issue. with some High temp RTV and with out. Anybody have any ideas.
