Ha, that did answer my question though. Thank you

 

Funny, I was at IHOP when I did that

I always check first to make sure it will lol

 

And Perkins is what I have closest to me.

That first link was perfect with picture and all

 

Are mods able to change build thread names?

 

Yes. PM me with your build name and what you want it changed to.

 

To change my valve cover gasket, do i need to 1) drain the oil and 2) have a flexing socket for the rear-most bolts?

 

You do not have to drain the oil, and with a 1/4" drive and 6" socket extension with some finessing you can manage the rear most bolts

 

+1 I used a deep socket with a U joint, but a small extension with wobble would be a lot handier

 

Couldn't find help anywhere...


I need to replace my starter, but I'm having a dilemma with cost. Autozone and other related stores want $139-159 yet I can go to JCWhit and get one for $80. What's the difference and is there a brand or store that I should stay away from? Thanks!

 

Everyone's favorite UCA axle side bushing brand?

 

Look at the price. Part stores usually include the core charge. Sometimes core charge ontop o the price you see. Jcwhitney may not have it. I don't know personally just speculating

 

JC Whitney's is probably a used starter that was sprayed with some brake cleaner to clean it up...

What you want is either a new or remanufactured starter. Rebuilt is often sub-par.

UCA uses the same bushings all around. Moog K3128 is two bushings.

 

Thanks, I'll be getting a new one Monday from a local store. Thanks.

 

Guys help me through a tuff decision.
Found this early bronco d44 for the front with all the parts it's just torn down. Thing is it's got coil buckets and a truss already on it. It's a full width axle so how hard is it to narrow these things? Also it's got the coil buckets set for a jk, would they be the right width apart for my xj? Sorry for all the questions I can't really go take a bunch of measurments on this guys axle yet lol.
Here's a pic. He want 400 I was gonna offer 300 depending on what y'all say. It comes with the shafts and spindles and knuckles and everything

 

You'd have to cut off everything and start over for an XJ. All the dimensions (including width) are different
