Ok so not long ago my timing belt tensioner went bad. I have never replaced a timing belt on this motor, so I had my concerns. I used a FSM so I was not too concerned. I checked and checked my timing marks to make sure the lined up right and they did. So tonight I went to fill it back up with...
Ok so, recently on start-up I would hear this high pitched screeching coming from under that timing cover, the water pump and timing belt was replaced recently so I have to assume it either the idler or the tensioner. I have never replaced a timing belt before, so... I thought to myself I could...
I seem to be getting a loud clunk that feels like its on the pass. side when going around turns at low speed, especially when there is a bump as well. No noise at high speed. Seems to happen when the body rolls a bit. I have an 89 4Runner, with a trail gear kit. (4inch front, 5inch rear springs)...
So I have been filling my rear brake reservoir for some time now because I have a leaky brake cyl and I have been too lazy to fix it/Not very familiar with the strange drum brake setup on my cruiser. But now it has gotten worse and its time to take care of this. My thing is though it also seems...
So I think I am getting some driveline vibes when I am accelerating and decelerating through just about any gear. I notice it most in second gear. If I mash in the clutch it stops though. It only seems to do it under a load. Could this be driveshaft imbalance? This is a Trail gear SAS kit, 4...
So my cruise control quit on me a while back, and I really want to fix it. But anything cruise control is foreign to me. So here's what happens:
I will hit the cruise button, and we're good! The little green light is on, and it will stay on all day...:D
Now we go to set the speed and twist...
So my truck is at the shop right now getting SASed and I am looking at moving up to 35's from my 33's. So I had 4.88's installed awhile back to turn the 33's. I ran about 65 down the interstate at 3,000rpm, which I always thought was kinda high. So you think my 300k V6 will turn 35's?
So a couple weeks ago my speedo stopped working properly. When I would let off the gas at speed it would drop real low around 15 or 20 mph, when I was really going like 60. So anyway I replaced the speedo cable because the transfer end of it was broken anyway. It still didnt work properly... So...
So ive begun trying to remove the rear wheel bearings on my 72 FJ40. I have removed the axle shafts just fine and I have also been able to remove the axle seals.
1. How do I get the old bearing inner race off the axle shaft? I tried prying it off with 2 screwdrivers with no luck. I ended up...
My '72 1F seems to have real low oil pressure. What should it normally read going down the road and at idle. At idle the needle is only between the 1st and 2nd line. When running down the road at about 2.5k its reading a little below the middle. Is this normal, could it be my oil press. sensor...
I noticed on my 72 FJ40 there is a popping noise from the tailpipe under load. Its not the same popping that occurs when I let off the gas and decelerates. Its just random popping, not extremely loud I dont think its backfire. There is no hesitation, I know there is a little exhaust leak around...
I run 4.88's in my 89 4runner V6 and 33x12.50's and at highway speeds I keep around 3k on the tach with the and run 65 mph in 5th. I have been driving this way for some time now, about 2 years. This truck now has 286,000 miles on the orig. motor and I can barely keep up with traffic at these...
Where does the hose for the carb insulator go? The Chiltons manual claims to go back to 1970 but they excluded my beloved F engine in the vacuum diagram section. Thanks!
Hi, when I bought my cruiser it had an old weber and im trying to go back to factory, so ive got the factory rebuild from sor and I believe it still has the factory throttle cable...Ive looked at Sor's website and diagram but it does not show how the linkage hooks up to the carb. And where does...
Where does the vacuum hookup from the carb insulator go? It seems like it is so close to the carb. It doesnt look like I can fit a hose on it. And how does the throttle cable linkage hook up on a 72 F motor? Pics would be wonderful. Thank you!

I have a '72 that had a Weber 38 and I bought a factory carb from SOR and I've stripped it to the base of the intake manifold but I don't know if I need a carb insulator or what gaskets. So would it be?
Carb
Gasket
Carb Insulator
Gasket
Intake Manifold?
Thanks!
Hi, when I bought my cruiser it had a weber carb on it and I wanted to go back to factory. So I went and bought an carb for that year model from sor. I dont know if I need a carb insulator or what gaskets I need. The carb I bought has already been rebouilt and all what else do I need? Where...
My truck has been leaking oil since it had 120,000 on it and now im sitting at 270,000. I left it sitting overnight and theres an oil puddle about the size of a dinner plate under it. I have good mechanical knowledge but little to no mechanical experience, and I have a steep driveway. Should I...
So my runner has almost 270,000 miles on it and she just sprung another leak the other day. Im just going to keep putting oil in it for the time being. The motor runs great, it just leaks alot more oil than I care to put in it. So im thinking 22RE swap? How difficult might this be and could a...
