    Windshield Wiper went KLUNK!

    Thanks John. I guess I'll start digging. Does anyone make these wiper arm bushings in a kit form? I figure if this one is worn the others are also.

    Windshield Wiper went KLUNK!

    Another rainy day in Florida. On the way home from work the driver-side wiper arm collapsed left and stayed there as the passenger-side wiper continued on. There in evidently something diconnected inside the windshield frame. How do you access the rods that push/pull the wiper arms? Take the...

    Need talk-thru On Knuckle rebuild !

    I have my '78 Fj40 on the road now. All seems okay except for the knuckles are dry. I shot some grease in there today. I have never been into the front end of a FJ40....only Fords and Jeeps. I want to know what tools I'll need to get the hubs,Birfields, Bearings,etc. loose from the vehicle...

    More FJ40 Questions: Lubrication

    I guess I am refering to the lube for the Birfields. I'm under the impression they are lubricated seperately from the front differentials.....How?

    More FJ40 Questions: Lubrication

    First off,thanks for previous relies from you regarding my maddening manifold gasket leak. It was finally fixed when I ordered the HEADER gasket from Man-A-Fre,the makers of the header. It continued belching black smoke from the exhaust. This was finally cured by removing the Motorcraft 2 bbl...

    2F Manifold Leaks. MANY THANKS!

    Pinion, I will be using ONE of the old-style gaskets. It doesn't have the bolts holes on each end as the original does so I may hold it in place with the copper Perma-tex. I'll let you guys know how everything works.

    2F Manifold Leaks. MANY THANKS!

    I've posted ALOT in vain efforts to stop a continuos leaking intake / exhaust manifold leak on my Man-a-Fre 6 into 1 header and stock '76 manifold (on my '78 engine). The leak persists even now. 2 Victor-Heinz (Napa) and 1 Felpro # MS22813 gaskets later. I've had the intake/exhaust planed...

    Intake/Exhaust manifold Phuster-Cluck!

    I've removed the Intake manifold and Man-A-Fre header because of the second leaking gasket. As I cleaned things up I pondered further into this delimma. It appears that at least one or 2 of the header's bolt tabs have been bent in a little. Someone hammered in the #4 pipe to clear the bottom of...

    Replacing Intake/ Exhaust gasket

    Thanks again guys,especially IDave. :beer: You've been trying to talk me through this thing from the start. It is a Man-A-Fre 6 to 1 header,or what's left of one. Anybody know of a good source for the OEM gasket? I'm a TLCA member,don't they have someone? No Toyota dealers around here.

    Average cost of 2F Rebuild??? Opinions??

    Precision Machine Engines in Inverness Florida pulled,rebuilt, balanced & blueprinted my engine. Cost was $4000 OTD. That included a Centerforce clutch ($300),flywheel turned, Radiator serviced, new water pump, various switches,etc.etc.etc. ....and believe me,there's ALOT of etc.s

    Replacing Intake/ Exhaust gasket

    Here we go again...3rd time. Once when 2F engine was professionally rebuilt. 26 miles later it leaked. I replaced it with another NAPA gasket after having the Man-a-Fre header and stock manifold planed. I also used the Copper Hi-Temp RTV by Permatex. I torqued it at 30 lbs. inside to out. Warmed...

    Replaced Gasket... It Still Leaks.

    WOW!!! This manifold leaking seems to be a big issue with these 2F engines. I guess my next try will be 2 o.e.m gaskets. IDave,you say the torque spec is 14-22 lbs.? My Haynes manual says 30 lbs. ??? I torqued it to 40,adding for the extension,could that be part my problem? I e-mailed...

    Replaced Gasket... It Still Leaks.

    Guys,I am running what appears to be (by catalog photos) a Man-a-fre 6-1 header and a stock intake. IDave,would that same torque spec apply with an aftermarket header ? Where are the best prices for Felpro or OEM gaskets?...I have to buy 2,for Pete's sake! :o Offcamber,they quoted me $120 for...

    Replaced Gasket... It Still Leaks.

    Okay, common consensus is I evidently need to double the gaskets with that header. I had the Napa gasket. It was some sort of laminate.The outside was like a perforated metal. What's that called? They referred to it as a "composite". So I need 2 gaskets of what kind,from where ? What do you...

    Replacement engine

    I listened to the FJ gurus and had the 2F rebuilt. I had to tow the rig 2 1/2 hours one-way just to find a shop that would touch it. Most of our local redneck-wrenches don't know what a 2F is. They'd put a 350 Chevy on their washing machine if they could.It's all they seem to know. ::) My...

    Manifolds removed today...Problems

    IDave,it sounds like I have the same set-up you have. A Manafre 1-piece header and stock intake. If your set-up has worked for 9 months for you,I'll try to duplicate your method for now. I'd rather go stock and never have another leak.I'm in Florida so a heat riser shouldn't be an issue. OEM...

    Manifolds removed today...Problems

    Is the NAPA gasket considered an OEM? We don't have a Toyota dealer for miles. Was 60wag referring to finally using one or two gaskets to prevent the bolts from loosening? I'm sure I'll get this thing whooped yet >:(

    Manifolds removed today...Problems

    I removed the Intake manifold & header today. No positive I.D on the headers but local Chevy fans says it resembles a Clifford. It looks like the one in the pages of Manafre catalogs,except where "Bubba" hammered one of the pipes to make room for the intake manifold. ::) The intake manifold...

    Just A Leak Or A Burned Valve?

    Since the motor was first rebuilt I had a problem. On the first trip out it ran like a sewing machine for the first 15 dirt road miles. Once it was well warmed-up it stalled terribly every time I took my foot off the gas.I suspected the carb. When I got home I noticed the smell of gasoline.The...
