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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
So...
I have a 1991 FJ80 with 240k. I had some cooling system problems and the head cracked. I took it off and had a machine shop look at it (and an estimate of $585 to repair and replace exh. valves).:crybaby:
So...
I bought a used head and it arrive all F'd up thanks to sub-par packaging and...
