Yup! I'm really dumb. Gotta get better lighting in the garage. That old factory gasket was so hard and discolored I couldn't tell the difference. And I shouldve put on some glasses. Thanks.

Got it down enough to jam on there. She broke, ha ha. There no way to machine down a socket enough. Maybe I need to try to find a thin dog bone.

Thanks. So just shave down the closed in of my wrench? Cool.

Guys, need some help with these 3FE front main bolts. Can't get a socket on them at all, can't get a good bite with a wrench. Do I need to go buy a crows foot? The cap gets in the way. They're monster tight and my open end wrench just bends and loses bite.

Perfect thanks! I'm doing a full rebuild on a spare engine and the seats are brittle.

I just got my injectors back from Mr. Injector. Phenomenal service! Quick question for the group, anyone have the part number or a link/location to purchase the intake manifold side injector seats/spacers?

Yeah, same thing, go through the ebay site. Waaaay cheaper. I ordered like a dozen. I broke two figuring it all out.

If you can find the post let me know. I'd appreciate it.

I couldnt find replacement bushings but these do work. With a little modification. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364775415189?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=su7qp9letp2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=sMbpBP0uQL-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks for that suggestion. I figured it out. I ordered the ebay Chinese replacement bushings. They work, and pretty well, atleast better than I expected. But, theres a small protrusion inside the bushing that spaces the lever ball away by maybe an 1/8". This is enough to have the backside of...

Yeah, have those out. Don't see any binding from those angles either.

Also, the reasoning im thinking the linkage is hitting and getting bound up, it stops in the same spot every time. I think im gonna have to get creative and stick a gopro behind the motor and see whats happening from the inside.

Yep, I took the arms completely off. Still does it. After greasing the hinges up good on the linkage, it takes almost no effort to move the arms and linkage by hand. I can only think that the linkage is hitting and getting lodged in there somewhere.

Went in and greased and check the linkages too. Theyre tight smooth and greased. I can easily rotate the wipers and linkages by hand with the motor/control rod end by hand.

1988 fj62. Would appreciate some opinions. Wipers weren't working. Pulled the motor, the linkage was off and the bushings decentigrated. Ordered a new bushing and replaced. Perfect! Motor are joint fits right in. Reinstall motor, arms move about a quarter and motor stops. Removed the motor...
