    front end shimmey

    thanks for the the info. will check wheel bearings and go further if needed. BTW, this shimmey is intermittent and can be stopped by decelerating(forgot to mention this). Yes, the 82 is awesome. I have owned it for a long time and it has never let me down.

    front end shimmey

    This board is cool. Wish I knew about it long ago! Hello everyone. Just bought a 94, and it has a little shimmey at 40+. I am going the usual path ( tires, front end alignment). Could this be related to the birfs(no visible leaks anywhere). Truck has 120k. My wife saw how many cruisers some of...

    compression

    Valves were adjusted and checked (prior to 2000 mile reading) block was bored, new pistons , rebuilt head, supposedly done from the crank up. Crankcase pressure is interesting, oil gets dirty sometimes(contamination from combustion chamber ?) Hmm.

    compression

    Reading was taken at 500 and 2000. Same reading. Valve problem would give erratic reading, I think, so we're talking large end gap?

    compression

    I agree with you. If I had a dyno or another 60, I could benchmark this thing. I can't help but feel ripped off, but when several different mechanics tell me its ok, what am I to do? This one is going to bite me in the but later on.

    compression

    I had a 2f(fj60) completely rebuilt. Did a compression test (correctly). All cylinders 125 psi. My old fj40 still reads 145 to 150 every cylinder. Several mechanics explained end gap to me, told me variation cylinder to cylinder was more important, dont worry about it. This is bugging me...

    oil light on and off

    Fluid level is right on the money, oil pressure good (jumps up right off idle ). Oil light came on twice today and went off. Stupid of me to not mention this, sorry!

    oil light on and off

    Thank you for answering. Have moderate ability with engines. Oil pressure would go away, right?

    oil light on and off

    Just bought 94 80 series 122000 Oil light on and off all fluids normal. Oil pressure gauge responds good off idle. My 2f motors stay up, help, please, my wife has that, here we go again look. Truck runs excellent and has burned no oil in first 1000 miles.
