    3FE & Engine Stand

    Hey guys I have a complete 3FE in the garage on a 1500lb. engine stand. The motor was running but had developed what I determined as a bearing knock when I pulled it. It's free including the engine stand. Located in Costa Mesa, CA. Scott

    What vacuum line attaches here?

    Browsing the forum and saw your post and just had to say help doesn't get any better than that. Impressive. MUD members are awesome. :clap: Note to OP. If I am not mistaken that looks like a one way valve on the hose...

    3FE with a knock

    Hey guys a while back my son's FJ60 developed a knock so we replaced the motor with a used 3FE. I could never pinpoint the knock but guess it was a rod or crank bearing getting ready to go. Having said that the old 3FE is sitting on an engine stand and I was wondering if it worth anything to...

    Transmission Question

    Another question After I removed the cab transmission access cover I notice a what looks like a vaccum line. I do not remember removing this line? It orignates and is attaced at the top of trans right below the access cover and is about 16" long. It has the oem clamps on both sides of the hose...

    Transmission Question

    Thanks everyone for your input. After inspecting the position of the fly wheel it was jammed against the trans housing. Obviously the torque converter had moved although I did not think so at the time. Had to back everything off, pull the trans back out reposition the torque converter and...

    Transmission Question

    Yes it's an auto, should have posted that. Thank you for the answer! Sweet, it freaked me out a little but now I'll sleep much better. So I'll need to hook up the linkage and put it in neutral before I can rotate the motor and install the torque converter bolts. Should be a good Saturday.

    Transmission Question

    I just pulled the tranny to replace the main seal. Partially reinstalled it tonight and went to turn over the motor by hand and it will not budge. Now of course I put it in park before I jacked up the rig and pulled the tranny.. I'm a rookie mechanic so I just want to know if the transmission in...

    Swapping in a "new" 3fe

    Just did this last week on an FJ62. Use PB Blaster on the exhaust nuts and heat shield nuts if they will be removed or exchanged. PB Blast the distributor bolt if you are exchanging them. I did the front oil seal with the timing chain cover on. You'll need a puller to get the main pulley off...

    No spark from distributor? Help please

    Thank you Randy, I appreciate the advice and the offer of the parts. The truck runs perfect now but for just a second and shuts off. That is exactly what is taking place and it makes sense now. When I was first tearing the motor down last week I was unfamiliar with the connector release...

    No spark from distributor? Help please

    Last night I bought the Accel coil and GM igniter module for a retro fit even though I felt sure there was nothing faulty with my igniter or coil. I once again did all the prerequisite checks on my igniter and coil, perfect. Re checked the air gap on the electronic points. I rechecked the...

    I have the Haynes manual and downloaded what was supposedly the FSM but turned out to be the entire parts list for the vehicle. I'll see what I can do to pick one up. Thx for your help. :)

    Thank you John, read that and the Pirate 4x4 thread, cool. Yes I did those tests and they passed but alas I still have issues. Thank you for the suggestion, I should try it again as I was tired and frustrated when I did it. :crybaby:

    No spark from distributor? Help please

    No, none. I am reading about 12.4 volts at the coil and at the end of high voltage wire to the distributor, but no spark. I find it hard to beleive I have a bad ignitor or coil since the truck was running just a week ago but hey they all go bad sometime. More advice please, such...
