Hey Guys,
I'm trying to build some reliability back into my FJ62 for summer Utah adventures.
Replacing some accessories, gaskets, filters, fluids, knuckles job, dynamating, cleaning etc.
I ran into a couple of questions and would love your input as I progress.
1. The air intake chamber gasket, where it meets with the intake manifold, seemed to have a soft paper/cardboard to the metal side when I took it off, see image below.
Searching around on MUD I just can't find a consensus around which gasket is best to use here? 1 or 2 and or with any gasket maker permatex stuff?
2. My Smog Pump seems to work fine, however when I spin it, the bearing sounds super dry...
What is normal here, since it mentioned on the pump to not lubricate it? Just don't want it to seize up at the worst time possible.
3. What would the downside be to adding sound proofing material on top of the factory sound proofing material?
Thanks!
