Figuring out my oil leak(s). I'd rather buy a junkyard, low mileage motor to put new seals and gaskets on than deal with mine
For me definately the heater core in my 92. .
92 XJ 4.0
- Cracked Exhaust manifold replacement: Juggling intake and new exhaust manifold with one hand to keep flush on block and trying to line up the bottom bolts with the other. By myself, this job was a feking major PITA.
2. Rear main seal due to 7 snapped rusted oil pan bolts.
Mine was fixing the nut behind the wheel.
trouble shooting a renix that was running really rough and going through ungoddly amounts of fuel ($30 in two days of idling in the driveway trouble shooting) replaced every sensor all injectors, a cheap tune up, then a top dollar tune up, fuel pressure regulator, eliminated all but three vacuum lines, rebuilt the under hood wiring harness and replaced all crimps with solder, compression tested good, replaced motor anyways, that included new motor mounts, clutch and slave, also new exhaust and cat.
what fixed the problem? a $30 used ecu.
Installing the body lift. Drilling all those spot welds on the uni-rails...
You can put some of the lower bolts on and the nuts for the two studs to hold the exhaust manifold in place, then install the intake and the rest of the bolts.
Removing a bloody oil filter this weekend.
Check out my post, a nightmare on JeepStreet, LOL, or how to remove an oil filter with a 3/4" drive and 3 foot breaker bar, in 3 minutes, when nothing else works, LOL. Photos included. I have never, ever in 45 years had to do anything this wild to remove an oil filter. I'd rather torque head bolts with a 12" torque wrench to 120 ft lbs all day long, than do that 3 minute ball-buster again, LOL.
