    Exhaust manifold heat tape

    So I did some PM over the weekend and did the PHH, water pump, belts, etc. and took my exhaust manifold heat shields off. I came across some extra heat tape I've had lying around and decided to wrap the manifold and the two pipes as they head out of the engine bay. Here are two questions...

    Is it OK for the windshield shop to fill the chip on my headlights?

    There's a small chip on my headlight and I was wondering if it's advisable to get that fixed by the windshield repair guys for $20 before the crack explodes.

    Discrepancy between reality and OBDII TPS readings

    So I just noticed on my Torque Pro App that there is a bit of a discrepancy between reality and the OBDII reading on my throttle position. For a note, the readings are the same with engine off and on (ignition on). Basically the lowest that the OBDII reading will read for throttle position is...

    failed stripped plug thread repair

    So I stripped a thread on my #5 (all the way back, passenger side) and had a mechanic repair it. Now the thread blew out and the next step thread repair is $350 for just the parts. The heads are just fine with the head gaskets being no more than one year old. I really do not want to pull a...

    3vze spark plug Heli-coil blew out. I'm hosed, right?

    So the thread stripped out a while ago and I had a helicoil placed to fix it. Worked just fine until yesterday it just blew right out of the head. I'm screwed, right? I suppose that either way the head is coming off but then what? Do I buy a brand new one? Can I get this one sleeved? Do I...

    gears vs. SC

    On a standard LC, no lift, 237/75/16 tires am I better served by changing my gears around or getting the SC? As always, we're all looking for more go, and I'm trying to think of the best place to sink my money. I'm not going to be going 90mph on the hwy so that kind of tells me that I've got...

    Some conflicting data on EGR abortion.

    So I aborted my EGR the other day by blocking off the exhaust gasses as they enter the intake manifold. Up until now I gathered that blocking off the EGR will only do good things but I found the Wikipedia article on EGR and I came across two statements of concern: EGR is typically not...

    I did something.

    So for the first time in forever I unlocked/locked or somethinged the back tailgate with my key and now the tailgate thinks that it's in some sort of valet mode where the unlock button or the key in the DS/PS door will not unlock it. What combination of twisting keys and pushing buttons do I...

    Stupid question about gear oil and the transfer case

    So on a 1992 4x4 you drain and fill the gear oil of the transfer case. No biggie. Is the gear oil in the transfer case shared with the manual gear box? If so, how does one drain and fill on a 2x4 truck without a transfer case? I dug around for another set of plugs and I'm not coming up with...

    Does the exhaust really need to dump outside the body of the bed?

    So I need to put a new muffler in as the current pipes are in pretty bad shape. I there any compelling reason that I can't just take a new universal muffler weld on a bone yard flange and bolt the muffler right onto the catalytic converter and just dump down right out of the muffler and ignore...

    Broke the leads on my EGR temp leads. Please advise.

    So I was changing my plug wires and I noticed that when I was dragging my knuckles I managed to rip apart the leads to the temp sensor on the EGR valve. Does that thing have a polarity or can I put it back together any way? That, and how do I reassemble the plug? This is on the engine side so...

    Timing oscilates 3 deg. on 92 3VZE

    So when I set my timing, I connect the little paper clip and start clicking away with the timing light. The little mark on the crank pulley will oscillate about 3 degrees towards BTDC (8 deg +3 deg) back and fourth, just kind of bounce around in there. I looked at the timing on my 80...

    Tip for knock sensor replacement?

    I'm replacing my knock sensor and wire to mitigate the code 52 stuff. I am just a few weeks out of shoulder surgery and I was wondering if someone would give me a quick run down of the steps to remove the manifold as I am 1.5 handed right now. It seems like I should be OK with my little Makita...

    is it ok to leave hubs locked

    Now that winter is coming, is it a carnal sin to leave the hubs locked in so the four wheel drive system is available when needed without having to get out? I understand that fuel economy will suffer a bit because more gears are spinning but besides that, is there a good reason not to leave them...

    Upgrade to non-flapper MAF on 92?

    So I know that folks upgrade the early model 80 series Landcruisers that have the flapper MAF to the better resistance type MAF that come on the 96-98 series FZJ80's. Is there a similar procedure/way to do this on a 92 pickup for better metering?

    How long can my 80 sit parked?

    So I just picked up a sexy little '92 pickup with the plans of keeping the daily driver miles off the 80. With better gas economy and the wear and tear, the pickup seems like the right thing to do. No that my 80 will sit in the garage, how long can I leave it there before I start to do more...

    So I've been letting this list of to do's build up. All at once or one ata time?

    head valve job PHH rear main seal replace all heater hoses And I am sure that there are a few more other things to do as well. Oil pump seal? Anyways, at what point to I combine this into a tear-out vs. just doing it with the motor inside the bay? And once out, holy crap watch out...

    So I have this idea. Tell me why this would NOT work [Engine exchange network]

    So I've been reading through the engine rebuild thread (https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/432477-1fzfe-overhaul-14.html) trying to talk myself into doing something similar. I've ripped apart a few motors here and there but the 80 and the 1fzfe tear-out and rebuild seems a few bananas...

    Instead of re-gearing the pumpkins, anyone thought of regearing the transfer case?

    So here are my thought on the matter: In all honesty I do not plan to wheel my cruiser Moab rock-crawler style because at the end of the day, it's my ride home. I am very conservative in the way that I go off road because I do not have a F350 with a goose-neck flat bed waiting at the bottom of...
