I just realized that I replaced the radiator and it came with bracket bolts so these are the original bracket bolts. thanks

So I completed my HG replacement and now have close to 1000 miles on a great running engine. However, I ended up with 9 of these 12mm bolts that I have no idea where they came from. I rechecked all my steps in FSM and even had labeled all the nuts and bolts but for reason not these. Nothing...

I know that I will eventually be using a Ham but in the interim I'm installing a Uniden pro520 lx into ashtray slot. I have checked Slees install on this unit but cant tell from all the discussions if you loose the ability to secure the lower dash screws in the trimming process. Do those two...

Did the gray wire mod and DS seatbelts fix. So much better and now door unlocks from 80-100 feet away!

Yep. that's what it was. took out the dist and rotated 180 and it fired right up! thanks

OK. So I have it all buttoned up after complete FSM HG overhaul on my LX450 and now it is doing the same as others have experienced. It cranks great but will not start. Here is what I have done so far; 1. Tested all fusible links (new) are working (using the simple dome lights on, brake...

I'm trying to wrap up my hg job and forgot what connects to this bracket on the firewall side of air cleaner housing . It looks like it had something attached but it has broken off and not sure if the cable was supposed to attached there or what. Any pics of what goes there and how the...

I'm having trouble trying to ID these two metal gaskets that came in my OEM HG kit. It matches with bolt pattern on heater pipe by thermostat housing but there would only be one and kit came with two. The FSM doesnt show detail enough to tell and I dont recall seeing thsee when I was taking...

I used my cherry picker to lower it but Murphy decided to lend a hand today in the shop. Guess I will call Beno again. Thanks

While lowering my head onto new OEM gasket the &^$% PHH constant torsion clamps got hung up on the head surface and scratched the #6 outer gasket ring. Is this gasket toast or will it still be OK? Makes me uncertain especially given its the #6. Thanks

Looking for rebuilt block for my 97' . I have complete rebuilt heads to put on it but mine has some cylinder issues that I dont want to wait for machine shop. Thanks

Great. I will go that route. Thanks

I am trying to get to the gasket under the thermostat housing to replace as part of my HG work but cannot seem to see how to remove the housing with the AC pump in the way. I could not find anything in the FSM about this area either. I dont really want to loosen the AC pump bracket, etc and...

While getting ready to reinstall my new head back from the shop I noticed that the OEM headgasket kit includes five (5) steel washers about 1.25 inches in diameter but the only thing that I can see they could go to is the hex plugs in the base of the head. Those plugs / washers dont show on any...
