I found a set 2.5 hrs from me. Headed out tomorrow to get them. Anyone have 20 good lug nuts? Story still to come....

I'll fill you guys in when I get out of work tonight.

I'm about to. None of the local scrap yards have this bolt pattern. Just 5x120's. That douche broke into my truck again last night...

I was dumb and trusted a local auto mechanic. I asked for an estimate and he ripped my truck apart and fucked it up without me authorizing work. Long story short, he stole my wheels and tires and cut my brake line so I can't take the truck. I need a really cheap set of wheels and tires to buy or...

What needs to be done? I can weld up new brackets/mounts. Is any of the wiring the same? My seats are past due on repair/replacement!

I just want to that you guys again for the advise. She's now up and running!!!!![/URL][/IMG]

It's got a sticker on it that says Ebay, that adds horsepower!

Maybe someday I will not be broke as F&$@! If only I had a backhoe... https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/5426721766.html

Thank you for clarifying!

I watched the videos and have the rave and another manual. I did not "blow" out the head bolt holes, only used a thin piece of rag to clean them out.

I stuffed a rag in each hole to clean them, but didn't blow them out. Should I pull it apart and do that? I was hoping I can just re-torque the bolts and pull the plugs and crank it to blow any coolant out. Can I get away with that or do you guys suggest pulling it apart and starting fresh?

Thank you! I'm a bit fried and just want to get it 100% perfect before I actually start it up!

I almost did that when I was in there. It seemed to make sense, but the machinist said raw dog it. I decided to take his advice because he had some really crazy race engine builds going on and my garage just has 1000 bicycles and antique single cylinder air cooled builds.

Does anyone know the final torque value? I'd like to check it when I'm done. What is X? 15ftlb+90°+90°=Xftlbs. Or am I over thinking it?

I just went and re-read the manuals I have and the torque is definitely part of the issue. One said 20nm then 180° +_ 5. Insomnia and a rainier said "just half ass it Tom and hope for the best" the other manual breaks it down better saying 20nm (15ftlb) then 90 then 90. I'm usually a good...

Thank you guys for dealing with my dumb ass and helping! I am going to stick with it. I put the gaskets on the correct way, used new bolts, got the heads machined. I did have some confusion with the torque procedure. I torqued to spec and went a bit further. I didn't do it 90-90. I'm sure that's...

Just kidding about the jeep, I already have a belly button and don't need something everyone already has!

My 4.0 was leaking coolant behind the engine somewhere after slightly overheating so I decided to rebuild it. I did the cam up and all new gaskets, water pump, hoses etc. I put it all back together and filled the fluids, was about to fire it up when I noticed coolant leaking from the driver side...

I'm currently implored by REI. All of those employee complaints are true. I love working there but it's way too corporate. I'm a hard worker who knows and sells the products well. We just hit our slow season so they cut my hours, hired 4 new idiots, promoted some dumb girl who was hired the same...

I'm finally rebuilding the engine. Should be back on the road in a few weeks, back off road after some brake and suspension work.
