Well I figured out what you mean, and I found a fancy app where you input the length of wrench, length of extension and desired ftlbs and it gives you the proper unit to dial to. So without you some bolts would have broke. Thanks

Made you think, didn't I? Feels good, doesn't it? Ever notice how many questions I ask when getting answers for you guys?

And, I learned there's an app for that!! Whooda thunk it?

Brain hurts now. But thanks cruiser, my Jeep would be in a junkyard right now if you weren't around. Lol. Off to bed for me.

Is this app for a crows foot type wrench or socket extension?

ITTs_Cole

Good question it doesn't specify. Its called torque wrench. There's also basic calculators online

No links?

When I'm not on my phone

I'm looking at doing around a 2" suspension lift (OME) and Im curious about my steering components. At what height would I need to start worrying about my:
- Tie rod/ends
- Drag link
- Pitman arm
- track bar

Control arms I'm not too worried about since I've read here and there that those don't become a big issue until you go more than 2".

Just looking for some input so I know what to buy when I get the lift

Thanks

Good question. I'm in the same boat and am curious to see the responses.

I removed my valve cover today to replace the gasket. When I took the cover off there was a good bit of yellow stuff on it, which I believe to be moisture? I didnt get a picture of it because I was dirty, but should I be concerned? It really looked like it was mostly where the valve cover was leaking(in the back between the last two cylinders and all the way in the back).

Could be old antifreeze

In my oil ?

The head gasket is not blown. I changed the oil with conventional and ran that for 300 miles. Then changed to rotella T6. I have all the service records and the PO was using Castrol GTX since 34k miles every 3k. No where in the records is a head gasket replacement or anything close.

Is it possible for a cylinder head crack to only open when the engine is hot? I would think so, but I just want to make sure. I clearly saw coolant weeping from between where cylinders 3 and 4 would be on the head while the engine was running. Now with the head off and cleaned up, there is no visible crack.
