Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hopefully you are talking about the engine in your rodeo. If so I have never seen a worn bucket shim before. People have a misconception that if you can't hear your tappets rattling they don't need adjusting. This is wrong in most cases for engines fitted with bucket shims like yours. With this ...

From memory I think it was somewhere between $2000 and $3000 for new lifters and rockers shafts, gaskets, labor ect. There was no aftermarket lifters avail when I did the jobs back in the late 90's but there might be now. I think the lifters were the most expensive part of the repair. As for oil you ...

If your engine is tapping non stop chances are that your rocker shafts may be worn and your lifters are a bit tired. I have replaced rocker shafts on these engines for this problem and it is quite a mission to do(and expensive). I agree with the post about buy cheap oil and flush, and then new ...

And make sure that you put some chocks under the engine mounts once the engine is lifted and lower it onto them.

Or lift it from above with a block and tackle. (don't squash yourself)

If it is a 2wd you can undo the engine mounts and jack the motor up as high as it will go (don't break the fan shroud or any hoses) .

Hmm looks to me like it could be the cause of your oil leak. That is part of the front upper sump seal. It goes between the timing cover and upper sump. Can be a prick of a job to replace.

Hi there If you are trying to check your injection timing you will need to go to a mechanic that knows how to check the pump timing with a micrometer in the rear of the pump. There is a specific way to do it. If you are simply trying to get a bit more umff out of your donk there is a 12 mm nut with ...

Hi all I think that the following info may answer your questions. This has been a fault with the 4JX1 engine sine the day that they where put on the road. All the info that has previously been posted is correct. After working on these Jackaroo's for a number of years I can tell you that taking it to ...
