    Wanted 1981 bj42 factory service manual

    Chris, I have two! One I'm planning on selling with my truck, and the second could be yours! I had bought one from Specter Off Road in California, when the previous owner of my BJ40 said to me: "I found the manuals" and then he gave me both the Chassis manual and the 3B engine manual. I'm...

    3B and B engine, thermostat housing differences

    Um... I'm not sure. All I know is that I drilled the holes larger 'B' manifold and then installed it onto a 3B engine. Worked for me! YMMV Sean.

    3B and B engine, thermostat housing differences

    I ended up using the thermostat housing from the 3B engine and just running a hose from point A (thermostat housing) to point B (Radiator). It appears as if there is an external coolant return line on the B engine and a internal coolant reutrn line build into the water pump on the 3B engine...

    3B head wanted...suggestions?

    Used Head for Sale I have a used head from a B engine, that should work for your 3B engine.

If interested, I can...

    3B and B engine, thermostat housing differences

    COOL thanks for the picture, this is exactly what I was looking for. It looks like the thermostat housing you have is kinda like the one I would like to use, but I'm curious about a few details... What is the red hose that goes just under the heater hose, and then drapes over your alternator...

    3B and B engine, thermostat housing differences

    Loren (superdude) stopped by my place of work so I got a few pictures of his engine (with the darn powersteering pump). I also was able to determine that the second heater hose is for the rear heater of the BJ60, and I think I'm just going to end up capping this off. I have a rear heater in my...

    Broken down BJ40 in Medford, OR

    Brendan, Um... you asked what could I have done that would have caused all this? I think that when you refurbish the top end of an engine you should also refurbish the bottom end of the engine. I fixed up the top end and this forced the bottom end to work hard. Sean.

    Broken down BJ40 in Medford, OR

    STILL not over It's still not over! We did a little touring in a rental car and went back to Roseburg where we got the "suspected" bad fuel. Well it looks like they did give us diesel. The reciept they gave us says so, and it comes from the pump that the fuel was dispensed with. So this...

    It's not quite over... Hey guys, As per my previous post, we discovered that it was bad fuel (gasoline instead of diesel), however I now believe that I have some kind of engine damage as I'm getting a loud knock-knock-knocking. So... we drained the tank of about 10gal of diesel/gasoline...
