Re: oil pan gasket

I pulled off spark plug wires one by one. 3 and 4 both affected idle, 1 and 2 did not. I verified both plugs were getting spark then I tested compression on 1 and 2. I only tested 1 and 2 since 3 and 4 had power. I also tried switching the wires on 1 and 2 thinking maybe they were crossed by the p.o ...

Re: oil pan gasket

My engine was ridiculously greasy so I was gonna replace any gasket I could. I have changed a oil pan gasket on a 4wd bronco like Petros mentioned.. pita. If both of yall say they hardly ever leak then Im not gonna worry about it. Actually I just found that my rough running was actually my front two ...

oil pan gasket

I am doing a clutch and was wondering if the oil pan can be dropped with the trans out? Or does the engine still have to be jacked up to drop it?

transmission issues

I've read a few places that these transmissions or transaxles? are only good for about 100 hp, and that they are starting to get scarce. Due to my very limited alaska internet I cant search as much as Id like or watch any tech vids. My main question is.. What usually fails on these trannies? Is ...

Re: transmission bellhousing questions

When I noticed the 2wd sends power to the front wheels I got curious.. I also knew if the 4wd stuff would bolt up I could cheaply throw a few beater 4wd together. I don't desire a bunch of headaches but I dont run from them either. I was thinking of abusing one as much as I could to see how capable ...

Re: transmission bellhousing questions

Thanks Irowiki for your response. No one seems to be a big fan of the auto's but there is one sitting in a houston pic a part if anyone needs something specific. It hurts me every time I find a rare old car in a pick a part or scrap yard. Sounds like i need to hold out for a manual trans 4wd. Has ...

Re: transmission bellhousing questions

I guess I gave y'all the wrong Idea from the start. First off let me preface by saying anything can be converted.. If anyone is prepared to put enough money on the table I will prove it. I've seen the underside of a 2wd tercel and already knew that to convert a 2wd tercel to 4wd a tunnel would need ...

transmission bellhousing questions

I had to sell my 89 toyota corolla awd wagon months ago due to my messy divorce. Now while scrounging a local junk yard I found a tercel 4wd wagon. I like the longitudinal layout a lot better than transverse of most awd cars. I want to take all the 4wd specific parts from the pick a part car to ...
