    Considering an EFI conversion? Read this first!

    By rmchrgr

    Last year when I requested an EFI-specific forum be started, I volunteered to create a guide to EFI conversions for it with the intention that it would be made into a sticky so people could find and reference it easily. I wrote it out but then sat on it. I'll be honest - I was a little unsure about releasing it out into the world but finally decided to put it up. I've attached the file here as a PDF. You will need Acrobat to read it but most browsers should open it if they have a reader... Read more

    Skreddy Bought an 87 FJ60

    By Skreddy

    I never get out of the 40 forum, so this is a new experience for me. I’ve wanted a 60 series for awhile and my wife saw this 87 posted on Facebook yesterday with a bad head gasket (posted as an 84). She messaged him for me and I hooked up the trailer. Couple hours later and some difficult pushing and we had it loaded on my flatbed. Was told it was bought less than a year ago with a bad head gasket. I don’t trust anyone I don’t know so in my mind, at worst I need a new engine (no offense... Read more

    66 Barracuda steering column/shaft fix

    By MechNerd

    Again, what should have been a simple job turned into a days long abortion. Tried to drop the 5.9 wirh Sanderson DD9 headers in...and it won't sit down because the headers hit on both sides. Inner wheelwell on passenger side, and PS pump and steering coupler on drivers side.This is using the shorty headers that are DESIGNED for this application. So I can't turn the steering wheel because the coupler is rectangular and bangs the headers. Pull it out, ding the headers a little, massage the... Read more

    Regarding the small-block Carter BBD and jet / rod sizes

    By 67CBodyGuy

    Is this true: "In the classic car and tuning community, 3-step rods are generally treated as an unwanted restriction. They make tuning a carburetor incredibly difficult because you have to balance three separate fuel curves instead of two. Unless a vehicle must pass a strict vintage emissions inspection that requires factory-original parts, standard practice across enthusiast communities is to swap the tall jets and 3-step rods out completely. Replacing them with a standard 120-series short... Read more

    1HD-T Glow Plug Relays

    By CaptBeardilocks

    As I'm pulling parts off my parts truck and making lists of things to possibly replace along the way I come to the Glow Plug Relays. I haven't heard anyone mention yet but I'm fairly new to Toyota diesels. I know on my old Mercedes diesels you would do the relay every time you did the glow plugs. They were terribly unreliable. What's the general consensus on the 1HDT GPRs? Rarely need to be replaced? Do them as long as I'm putting a parts order in? There are two that I can see... Read more

    I finally have a FJ25. My buddy @rockcod found this on FB market place a few days ago and sent it to me.

So we made a deal over the phone and picked it up this morning. 1959 FJ25 on a 1971 FJ40 frame and drivetrain. There are a few things like welded rear barn doors and a 40 tunnel cover, I was so stoked to see the original fuel tank and gas cap. Its going to be a fun semi resto build... Read more

    What is 100,000 miles required maintanence

    By Rafael Gomez

    Hello everyone! My car is 2021 Honda Civic EX 1.5 L Turbo. I was wondering what is truly required and what is recommended to complete at 100K miles. I know transmission oil replacement, Oil and filter , Brake fluid . Spark plugs all required How about coolant drain and replace is that really required? I have never done that. How about a valve cleaning if I have never got that done before ? How about valve clearance checks? I still have great mpg around 42 mpg. How about serpentine belt...

    Ignition issue - lock cylinder or inside steering column

    By EscapeWagon62

    Have an intermittent problem but we all know intermittent never gets better over time. Most of the time you turn the key and the rig fires up fine. Very occasionally, I’ll turn the key and it will start to crank but cut out. Lately, on occasion, I turn the key and nothing happens. In all scenarios, I jiggle the lock cylinder and get it to start. The lock cylinder itself is relatively new as I had it replaced by Matt when my key started coming out even it I didn’t press the release button. In... Read more
