So I completed my HG replacement and now have close to 1000 miles on a great running engine. However, I ended up with 9 of these 12mm bolts that I have no idea where they came from. I rechecked all my steps in FSM and even had labeled all the nuts and bolts but for reason not these. Nothing...
I know that I will eventually be using a Ham but in the interim I'm installing a Uniden pro520 lx into ashtray slot. I have checked Slees install on this unit but cant tell from all the discussions if you loose the ability to secure the lower dash screws in the trimming process. Do those two...
OK. So I have it all buttoned up after complete FSM HG overhaul on my LX450 and now it is doing the same as others have experienced. It cranks great but will not start.
Here is what I have done so far;
1. Tested all fusible links (new) are working (using the simple dome lights on, brake...
I'm trying to wrap up my hg job and forgot what connects to this bracket on the firewall side of air cleaner housing . It looks like it had something attached but it has broken off and not sure if the cable was supposed to attached there or what. Any pics of what goes there and how the...
I'm having trouble trying to ID these two metal gaskets that came in my OEM HG kit. It matches with bolt pattern on heater pipe by thermostat housing but there would only be one and kit came with two. The FSM doesnt show detail enough to tell and I dont recall seeing thsee when I was taking...
While lowering my head onto new OEM gasket the &^$% PHH constant torsion clamps got hung up on the head surface and scratched the #6 outer gasket ring. Is this gasket toast or will it still be OK? Makes me uncertain especially given its the #6.
Thanks
Looking for rebuilt block for my 97' . I have complete rebuilt heads to put on it but mine has some cylinder issues that I dont want to wait for machine shop.
Thanks
I am trying to get to the gasket under the thermostat housing to replace as part of my HG work but cannot seem to see how to remove the housing with the AC pump in the way. I could not find anything in the FSM about this area either. I dont really want to loosen the AC pump bracket, etc and...
While getting ready to reinstall my new head back from the shop I noticed that the OEM headgasket kit includes five (5) steel washers about 1.25 inches in diameter but the only thing that I can see they could go to is the hex plugs in the base of the head. Those plugs / washers dont show on any...
I have an electrical connector that is frayed and ready to break on the connection to VSV (blue connector). As part of my HG replacement I want to fix before I wrap up the intake reinstallation. Does anyone know if just the pigtail harness is available? This same harness also connects to the...
I cannot for the life of me find where the head bolt measurements (to reuse) are listed in the FSM to check using a caliper. I thought I had seen it before but cannot seem to locate now. If someone knows the location or even the specs that would be great.
Thanks!
Finally managed to get HG exposed for rebuild on my LX450. Looks like typical #6 blow out but fire ring cracked on #1 also. Got all the OEM stuff from Beno for rebuild but not sure how to prep block for putting new gasket on and cleaning out cylinders (which still had hone marks at 220 miles)...
Hey folks, finally rebuilding lx450 after wife blew HG while driving
Lucklily I had coached her on what to do in advance and it happened in neighborhood and she was able to basically coast home. Anyway. Need to send out head next week for complete check and grind job and hoping some locals...
OK. So like everyone else with an aging LX I too am in need of replacement leather for my front seats but just called Lseat today and they dont' even offer seat covers for the LX450. WTF? So they used to but now they dont? And Shane with MetricTLC is gone or not in business so who is left to...
I am trying to find a good set up to hold high amp fuses (up to 50 amps) in the engine bay and to protect from the elements. I am currently running the maxi blade style since they are the only sizes available for 50 amp range. I have a separate Busman mini fuse setup for my normal circuits...
I want to swith my axle shims around to adjust my caster better following a 4 inch lift. I currently have my fat end facing rear and want to change it around so the fat shim faces forward. I am getting some quick steer issues that I think are caused by this. I cannot find a procedure for...
I need to replace my rotors and pads on my lx450. Does anyone know if the powerstop rotor and pad upgrade is still better than OEM rotors with the 100 series pad upgrade as far as increased stopping ability is concerned? This is not for a DD but mainly offroad use.
Thanks
I have been trying to isolate the source of a battery drain on my lx450. I have replaced two new red top batteries twice now all because of a parasitic drain issue. I tested the fuse panels in engine compartment and DS under dash and found nothing bad with any fuse or relay by using DVM. I...
I'm having an issue with gas coming out of vent line going into carbon canister from tank vent lines. I have front stock and rear aux Con-Fer tank. Both vents from tanks are tee'd down by frame rail, and then go to the canister. The vent on the front stock tank comes off the top of fuel...
