Chris, I have two! One I'm planning on selling with my truck, and the second could be yours! I had bought one from Specter Off Road in California, when the previous owner of my BJ40 said to me: "I found the manuals" and then he gave me both the Chassis manual and the 3B engine manual. I'm...

Um... I'm not sure. All I know is that I drilled the holes larger 'B' manifold and then installed it onto a 3B engine. Worked for me! YMMV Sean.

I ended up using the thermostat housing from the 3B engine and just running a hose from point A (thermostat housing) to point B (Radiator). It appears as if there is an external coolant return line on the B engine and a internal coolant reutrn line build into the water pump on the 3B engine...

Used Head for Sale I have a used head from a B engine, that should work for your 3B engine. I have recently refurbished the head and ran it on my B engine only to have the bottom end of the engine die on me due to a fresh new head! I'm in Vancouver, BC and asking 500$CND. If interested, I can...

MORE Differences 10) Fan diameter is slightly larger on the 3B. Bolts for fan are also slightly larger 11) Exhaust manifold mounting studs are larger on the 3B M8-1.5(i think)

General 'B' and '3B' differences Hey Rob thanks for the engine, the transplant is going very well. One little trip to Lordco, and I should be at the stage where I can lift the engine back into the engine bay. General 'B' and '3B' differences: 1) Exhaust manifold bolts are larger diameter...

COOL thanks for the picture, this is exactly what I was looking for. It looks like the thermostat housing you have is kinda like the one I would like to use, but I'm curious about a few details... What is the red hose that goes just under the heater hose, and then drapes over your alternator...

Loren (superdude) stopped by my place of work so I got a few pictures of his engine (with the darn powersteering pump). I also was able to determine that the second heater hose is for the rear heater of the BJ60, and I think I'm just going to end up capping this off. I have a rear heater in my...

Hi all, Remember me? 1) broke down in Medford 2) left vehicle and went on vacation to mexico 3) returned in the new year to collect vehicle 4) discovered a shredded con rod bearing on #3 cylinder 5) purchased a used 3B engine (last weekend: Thanks ROB!) 6) installing used 3B engine (now)...

Brendan, Um... you asked what could I have done that would have caused all this? I think that when you refurbish the top end of an engine you should also refurbish the bottom end of the engine. I fixed up the top end and this forced the bottom end to work hard. Sean.

First pic was a good bearing from Cylinder #4 Can someone give me some pointers on how to get alot of images on this site easily? I keep exceeding my quota of space even tho I've resized the images smaller! I want to share the carnage with you guys! Sean.

I'm having difficulty getting some pictures of the failed bearing up on this site... ug.

Good bearing cylinder #4
