Howd you fix that? Mine does it when the tank gets below half. I dont really wanna spend any money fixing it, can I just patch it up, or what?

 

I have a 2.5 jeep cherokee im portuguese, replaicing the clutch i decided change the rear main seal too but after removed the flyweel i got the oring seal but i have this too and a piece of metal dropped instantly aafter i removed the flywheel .
Its 2 piece of metal like half moons and now i look to this but i dont know if i can replace this or only removing the crankshaft . The 2 pieces are not in the picture but im here just if someone know if i can replace this or better not ..im tired to checking online but almost all explanacions are about 4.0L and nothing like this ...thankyou

 

I was tired of the oil filter adapter leak so I did the oil filter adapter mod several months ago. No more leaks and no issues.

I have new motor mounts so no issue with the filter hitting the frame.

 

opps, looked at the pic again, when I saw the head, it looked like the bolt I described, the head looks the same, after it breaks off. Sorry....RR

 

Like Datsun steering lock assemblies?

 

Looked at some eBay posts and my parts book and don't see anything like this. At least anyhong that's SUPPOSED to be two pieces. Can you take a picture?

 

this is it ...one was in his place but the other i couldnt see it case the instantly i removed the flywheel it droop to the floor, than i removed the other just to seaw if i undestod that , however im afraid now to continue removing since im not sure what im doing , and looking to this thing it seems to me its before the crankshaft ...but not sure, maybe impression of mine
I belive and almost sure this is a seal but a steal seal its funny and this 2 pieces are in bad shape . thankyou for your attencion

 

sorry i forgot to tell you ....one of this pieces was in one side grabet or attached in his place so ofcorse the other was in the oposite side however it falled , well this i have sure , my question now its if i can remove this whitout removing crankshaft and ofcorse.....where i will buy this piece since i dont see this anywhere ...

 

i got it ...its thrust whashers , thats not a seal and the only seal its the oring , i just need to buy 2 thrust whashers , simple and easy thankx anyway

 

Do you have a part number? I keep seeing "thrust washer" mentioned but I don't see anything like that in the parts book by the clutch

 

If you have the manual of this you can check in EGINE PARTS and not CLUTCH.
I have a manual that i got it internet and its there , thrust whashers to deal whit the "end play crankshaft". If you never heard about "end play " like i did , check in youtube and you will undestand.

 

Anyone experience much improved gas millage when using 93 octane vs 87? I have been conducting some research and the last 4 tanks bear this out.

Ever since the cylinder head resurface and new valves and springs, I have been getting about 13 to 13.5 mpg. I put new plugs in about 5 tanks ago and mpg was the same. So, I decided to try 93 octane for grins.
Last 20 tanks, 87 octane = 13 to 13.5 mpg per tank. I have intentionally run the last 3 tanks way, way down to where I was able to put in 18.5 gallons or right at that on all 3.

Tank 21, 93 octane = 14.4 mpg.
Tank 22, 87 octane = 13.2 mpg.
Tank 23, 93 octane = 14.3 mpg.

Just curious if anyone else has had a similar result?

 

Considered doing this when I get my brown dogs, thanks for the link.


Happy Texas independence day!
COME AND TAKE IT

 

Two questions:

How has the temperature changed since you switched? I understand it was cold down there and it got warmer.

Is the high octane fuel you use 100% gasoline? 87 is normally 10% ethanol, in my area Shell 91 is guaranteed pure. Some vehicles get better mileage on pure gas... making the octane rating number irrelevant

 

Temps on the first 3 tanks were about the same. 60ish degrees. Todays drive on tank 4 it was much cooler. 40s. I have been using Shell Vpower premium and around here that is 93.
