    Driver's side motor mount fix

    I got tired of having driver's side motor mounts come apart in the Arizona heat and decided to try a different approach. So far haven't noticed any more vibration than normal under any operating condition. (Note this is a 2F, not a diesel). The idea is basically to use a poly washer with a...

    stripped bolt hole @ exhaust manifold

    I had that happen about 10 years ago. It was bolt right in the nook at the firewall so my options were limited. Went to ACE hardware and explained my dilemma. He set me up with an SAE bolt that was just slightly larger. Was able to tap the old hole and it worked great.

    how do I turn the engine?

    Whatever you do, don't turn the crankshaft nut CCW if you go a little bit too far. Go all the way around CW again. I did this and broke the crankshaft nut loose...this snowballed into even more problems. May not be as easy to do with plugs pulled. (Yeah I know it's supposed to take 6 foot...

    Help! Need ideas on harmonic balancer problem

    60wag - I had read that was the way to do it so I got the timing cover -tight- with the pulley on then pulled the pulley out and torqued to spec, reinstalled pulley. I haven't checked all the plate bolts, but the timing gears look good. I'm starting to think that there may have been a...

    Help! Need ideas on harmonic balancer problem

    I posted a few weeks ago during a crankshaft weld and grind for a new key slot for the harmonic balancer on an 84 FJ60. Had a few problems getting the timing cover on due to the oil cooler pipe flanges and expected some leaks since the RTV was half cured by the time I was done, but went for it...

    Crankshaft and Harmonic Balancer Repair

    Long post.... 84 FJ60 had a major meltdown two weeks ago. At first I was panicked and sickened, but got some great advice from past posts on this forum and wanted to share my tale in order to help someone else out in the future. I'd been fighting with keeping the HB tight for several...
