Thanks man. I think i follow. Do you have a pic?
Sounds like you're looking for one of these little guys. I opted to just cut my intake in half and run piping over the valve cover, then 180 degree bend back towards the other side of the engine bay. at some point i would like to get one of the intake adapters below to clean things up.
Nice work! Do you know a good place to get a replacement hood liner in the US? My original is pretty worn and the hood is not well supported underneath so it flexes/wobbles a bit while driving.
My kzj73 had a small but annoying rear main seal leak since the day that I bought it 2 years ago . Ordered a new seal and called the guys at Terrain Tamer US to upgrade the stock clutch to a HD clutch ! While in it I dropped a set of 4:1 gears in the t-case also 
Another weekend, another few projects knocked off the list. New cambelt water pump rad hoses turbo coolant hoses thermostat etc. Modified and chucked some old drawers in the box. And also redid the deck with some new transply.
Since we don't smoke, replaced the lighter... Next is a digital.
An over-due clutch replacement. A seized pilot bearing got it underway. more issues uncovered. A worn transfer input shaft caused by the input gear. Cruiser Outfitters was able to supply a new custom input gear that is one piece. It replaces the input gear, the spacer and PTO drive gear as one solid part. Way better spline contact.
That sounds like fun!!! How many miles on it?
164,000 km.
I saw that and thought "that seems a little early....", then looked in my 74's maintenance log and saw mine was ready for replacement at 144,000km
Time for a new heart. This crappy engine is done for. Anyone need any good 2L-T parts?
That spring clamp on the turbo water hose looks usable.
That spring clamp on the turbo water hose looks usable.
It has an awful knock. The rest of the engine seem like it's got decent parts. The engine block will be stripped down and lined up at our Engine Hall of Shame in the yard.
Damn Nice floors! How often do you have to repaint ?
Never. We clean the floors twice a day....
Did you coat over new concrete? I want to do the floors in the new to me shop . I've never been able to get those coatings to stick on oil soaked concrete . A peeled up floor bothers me more than the stains haha..
Correct. It was painted after the floor was poured 6 years ago. So far, in most areas of the shop, it's held up well. Underneath the lifts, it's starting to chip a bit and with the pretty constant use under the lift, it's starting to show it's age a bit.
Will we be treated to info & pictures as the replacement engine goes in? Thanks
