First time doing a clutch and I've hit a bit of a wall. The service manual isn't too clear about what to do after the cross member has been removed and the transmission is jacked up....

Just swapped out my old 3b (destroyed block) and swapped in another 3b that is from unknown year with unknown mileage. Not sure how long the motor sat for before I bought it. Motor Was compression tested and was even across the board.

Looking for a 3b that's in good running condition or just the block from an engine that was in really good shape.
Ideally the complete engine has been tested and has less than 300k.
If you are selling the block only, it will need to real clean.
Thanks!
I'm in need of some advice on what to do with my 60 series. My truck currently has a 3b with a huge hole in the block. Piston arm blew through it :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:. I took my chances and bought a replacement engine from a reputable guy for $300. All he knew about it was that it had...

i know that this is probably not the right place for this thread, but the shop i normally go to (radd cruisers in duncan), is no longer specializing in cruisers and all the cruiser mechanics are gone :frown:
can anyone recommend another comparable mechanic on the island? the guys at radd knew...
so about 3 months ago, i was at the gas station adding a fuel conditioner as per usual before filling up, and when i was screwing the cap back onto the bottle, the little seal inside the cap fell into the tank :mad:. i called my trusty mechanic (radd cruisers in duncan, who are sadly no longer...
I'm experiencing some ticking (from the drivetrain I I think) when I accelerate hard. This happens on two occasions: 1) hard acceleration from stop in 2wd. 2) climbing something steep in low range 4wd.
Is this normal? This is my first cruiser and I'm a bit of a noob. If not normal, an ideas...
I'm getting a ticking noise when I accelerate hard. There are two instances when this occurs: 1) Hard acceleration from a complete stop 2) when I'm in 4wdr going up something steep in low range.
I'm not really sure exactly where the sound is coming from, but I'm pretty sure it's the drivetrain...
Anyone out there have any suggestions for an air filter upgrade for 3b? I was thinking about putting a cone on or maybe even just a k&n. just looking to get a little more power for cheap. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Just trying to get a stereo installed (although I doubt I will be able to hear it over the engine) and I'm having trouble getting a display on the screen. The deck powers up (ie. is capable of ejecting a cd) but I can't get anything to happen on the faceplate. Any ideas?
This is my first stereo...
hello, just a quick question about the relation to fuel timing and rpms. i just reset the valves and advanced the fuel timing yesterday in my '81 bj60 3b turbo with 4.11s. (she was starting a bit rough, and spewing white smoke) what a difference! the engine is running more smoothly and has an...
Just got a set of 275/85r17 open country mts and I was curious what tire pressure I should be running them at. They are currently set at just under 50psi all around. Thanks!
Ps. I love these tires and would recommend them to anyone. Was expecting them to beach louder. The off- and on-road...
