    1991 3FE AT cooler lines - connection confusion

    The direction of flow. Which line from the tranny goes into the bottom tank and does this line go into the upper or lower of the AT rad?

    1991 3FE AT cooler lines - connection confusion

    I'm confused about how the AT cooler lines are run. I have two hard lines coming from the AT that terminate at the lower pass side of engine Then (I think) one of them goes into the pass side of the main rad lower tank and comes out on the driver's side then connects to a hard line that goes...

    3FE Head Gasket

    Just dont drill all the way into the head bolt hole, leave a 1/4 inch or so of original dia. hole so you can tighten against it.

    Can I put together a 3FE when I don't know what I'm doing? Lets find out...

    I cleaned mine a couple of weeks ago using purple power and hot water and a flexible brush. Soaked it for a couple of hours in a tub first. I was going to use oven cleaner but I read that Most cold oven cleaners contain sodium and/or potassium hydroxide, both of which are extremly corrosive to...

    SWAPPING a 3FE for a 3FE

    This morning I took off the crank pully, harmonic balancer, and timing cover. I also removed the head and flex plate. I plan on removing the pan on Sunday and checking the bearings. I have a couple of questions as I'm getting into uncharted territory (for me):confused:: 1. is there a gasket...

    SWAPPING a 3FE for a 3FE

    thanks for the advice - I guess I knew I would have to go further but I've been shirking my T-ball coaching duties and I'm taking heat from the wife for dropping the home renovation. I've just been reading up on removing the crank pulley. By the way, what is the little block off plate just...

    SWAPPING a 3FE for a 3FE

    Well, I'm well beyond replacing the head. In fact I'm not sure where I'm going :confused:. I have the 'new' motor on the stand and am thinking of doing (reading my FSM) the front and rear main seals. I'm also thinking of removing the head and having it redone. I'm not sure where to draw the line...

    SWAPPING a 3FE for a 3FE

    I'm not 100% sure as it happened while my brother had the truck in Mexico. When I got it back the top of the radiator had a small split in it and the water pump was leaking from the hole in the bottom of it, and it was down a gallon and a half of fluid. In hindsight I should have replaced the...

    SWAPPING a 3FE for a 3FE

    Cracked the head on my 3FE. Repairing the head was too expensive so I found another 3FE and tranny with 60k miles less for $800. I now have the old motor out and am starting to replace gaskets (pan, pushrod cover,intake/exhaust etc. on the 'new' motor. I'm planning on replacing all the heater...

    SWAP a 3FE from a 1989 FJ62 into a 1991 FJ80 ???

    BIG and small BIG: Given that I have all the stuff disconnected and the head off, How does the work load compare between 1. replacing the head and 2. swapping in a complete motor? small: Do I need to pug the fuel line while the truck is sitting without the topend? Fuel seems to drain out...

    SWAP a 3FE from a 1989 FJ62 into a 1991 FJ80 ???

    So... I have a 1991 FJ80 with 240k. I had some cooling system problems and the head cracked.
