    Anti-seize and over torquing bolts

    thanks for your reply. I don't think it was stripped. the situation is that the bolts should be torqued to 51ft/lb "DRY", however after I treated the rust of it and I coat it with anti-seize but I did not reduce the torque and I still torqued it to 51 ft/lb. there are 2 of these kinds of bolts...

    Anti-seize and over torquing bolts

    I hate that I saw this post so late, I currently work on a car, its trans mount bracket to the trans block bolts require 51 flb torque, the bolts have some kind of rust issue, so I used the rust evop to remove the rust then coat it with anti-seize then I installed it without reducing torque, of...

    Need some advice about Montero Gen1 purchase

    How about just using it as a weekend car, like less than 1000 miles per year? I am sure I will not use it for off-roading, I have LC100

    Need some advice about Montero Gen1 purchase

    I think you just provide a good explanation about why it is rare to see one running on the road. I just purely like the looking of those trucks...but based on all the comments I got so far, it is a little crazy to buy one 36 yrs old truck. Thanks for your comments.

    Need some advice about Montero Gen1 purchase

    Thanks, I just hope the 85 to 89 montero should be the same, then I can use some Dodge raider (87 to 89 montero)parts, please correct me if I am wrong. And yes, the smog will be a big problem, that is the reason I might choose the 85 one, it all stock and just passed the smog (then the worst...

    Need some advice about Montero Gen1 purchase

    Thanks for the reply, I think I got some very good points from your reply to beat the price they try to set up. If the 85 only has 110k and the 89 has 200k, which one should buy?

    Hi, I am currently looking for an 87-89 3 Drs montero or dodge raider, but I did not have so much luck seeing a good one, last week there is a good 85 Montero 3 dr 2.6 manual pop up in my area, so I have some questions below: 1. Is there any big difference between 85 Montero and 87-89...

    Need some help to locate a leaking from the front-end of the upper engine oil pan

    Per @2001LC 's suggestion, I wiped out the oil mark and did the dipstick O ring change last month, but did not get a chance to check it again. I believe the oil mark close to the harmonic balancer pulley was clean out by replacing the valve cover gasket. overall, it should not come from the...

    WS ATF Flush Procedure

    Sorry, I didn't understand what you said, I dump the atf and tight both of these two bolts before I refill it, so if I can not put in 3.5 then it should overflow from the refill hole because it is the only one opened at the time, But it didn't~ and I did put in 3.5qts for sure I use powerfill...

    WS ATF Flush Procedure

    Finally, get this busy week through... This Monday, I did one more ATF change again due to my mistaken procedure last weekend. I took off the trans pan drain bolt and dump the ATF again, then I put back the drain bolt and tighten the overflow. I did not measure how much come out and I just put...

    WS ATF Flush Procedure

    Thanks for the reply, I finally figured what happens to me, I did disordered ATF change steps. I opened the overflow and refill the ATF when the engine is off, then I put back the overflow bolt when I see the ATF come out from there. Then I start the car warming up and check the level. I did...

    WS ATF Flush Procedure

    I have a weired issue with the transmission fluid change this afternoon. I did not do a flush, I just dump and refill. When the car is cool I got it refilled and the ATF comes out from the overflow. I tight the overflow and get the car to the correct temperature, I did not use the clip short...

    Thank you, Sir, I do start to use "Mobile 1 High mileage" for about two months (don't know if pre-owner used it or not), what to do now? If the high-mileage oil related to this will switch back to regular Mobile 1 5w-30 help the issue? or need to add something like Lucas stop leaking? (I did...

    Engine Oil Pan (06 LC) nuts/torque/gasket

    Hi, seems I got some lower oil pan leaking, it is not enough for a dripping but many wet marks, since I did my valve cover gasket a couple of months ago, I am sure it is not the valve cover. So if I want to reseal the gasket, would I have to lift the engine for removing the lower member? And...

    WS ATF Flush Procedure

    Sorry, two extra questions: 1. If we assume that the trans filter inside has never been replaced, will it get some kind of clog during these 16 years? most important, will this old filter impact the trans performance? I just hesitated if change it or not (I really don't want to), because my...

    The OFFICIAL clunk/thunk driveshaft thread

    Hi, if I replace the driveshaft entirely when I put back the new one, is the positioning matter? Do I need a paint mark it before I take the old off to make sure something? or to say is there any trick when replacing this? I have this question because if I rotated the new shaft 180 degrees, it...

    Vibration at high RPM and high torque

    Strongly agree, I think any symptom could possibly be related to many issues when the car gets to this age and particularly for the people who buy used one and don't know the history of the maintenance clearly like me. Before that, I always try to find a solution for truth when I facing an...
