I prefer the later ones that are 2 piece intake/exhaust because you bolt on the exhaust first, then add the intake. Earlier ones bolted on together, and if you didn't loosen the bolts between top and bottom (I lubed mine at least a week in advance), they could tighten offset and blow the gasket one way or or suck it in the other. From: Joe Morrison Subject: fsj: Manifold gaskets Hi Folks Just a simple question, really. When replacing manifolds on a 6-258 motor, which gasket is closest to the head..the intake gasket or the exhaust gasket? Can't work it out from my manual. Thanks Joe Morrison ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2003 11:13:51 -0700 From: "Faith Jeff" Subject: fsj: coffin gas tank replacement ideas? hi everyone- who has traded out their coffin-shaped gas tanks? i'm looking for ideas for a replacement. i had one in my 63 wag...i'll sell it cheap if anyone wants it. it had to be removed so that the driveshaft would fit. thanks, jeff so-cal This electronic message transmission, including any attachments, contains information from Prescription Solutions which may be confidential or privileged.

If you put gas in the carb it will run for a few seconds but without the gas in the carb it will just act like it wants to hit every few seconds but will not run. the fuel pump is pumping fuel. How strongly should the fuel pump pump fuel? Is it possible the fuel pump is going bad and not pushing enough fuel into the carb to make the engine run? the fuel pump flow is just a weak spurt. Should I try a new fuel pump? I put a new fuel filter on it but that didn't help.

You couldn't have an '86 with a 4.0L/AW4 unless someone before you was kind enough to swap it in... and if they did they went through some effort... like beating the snot outta the firewall and replacing the rad support. :) But let's just say you had a typo and we're really talking about an '88, or maybe an '96. Either way, you have a 4.0L now, that's what's important. The 4.0L is a great motor, I believe it to be the best ever installed in a Jeep. In fact, I like the 4.0L so much I'm removing a 4.2L out of my '83 J10 and replacing it with the 4.0L. Why? Better longevity, more power, better economy and increased reliability. It's better because it fuel injected mainly... The 258 out of the YJ will have a carb, blowby issues and not produce as much HP/torque as your 4.0L, and you'll have issues with the Aisin Warner AT, it needs the computer and the computer needs input from the 4.0L to work properly. Now, you could use parts off the '88 YJ's 258 and create a 4.6L (I think) stroker motor, many of the guys on the XJ list have done that. You could also remove the head from your 4.0L, reuse your intake manifold and exhaust, distributor and the stuff on the front of the engine, bolt it onto your 4.2L block, maybe use the injectors from an HO 4.0L ('91 and up, '90 was a crossover year if I'm not mistaken, '91 for sure will be HO) and you might see some performance increase and not have to rewire your rig. Then, you could take the '88 YJ, remove the front clip and front axle, get a couple of pieces of rectangular tubing and a 2" trailer coupler, a little welding, some wiring to the taillights and voila, you have a nice trailer to match your Jeep. :) I did something like that to a '75 J10 that had a disabled 4.2L. Worked out great. So, in case you didn't pick up on my attitude toward the 4.2L's (and bobtails ;), I'm saying you should stick with your 4.0L, unless of course you want to go the stroker route. If you want to explore that I recommend subscribing to the XJ list (info below) and posting questions about. The guys and gals on the list are knowledgeable and several of them have done it... and a few of them have had some problems, we're not sure why, and the folks that have done it absolutely love the extra power. So it's a worthwhile upgrade if you have the skills or funds. :) If your XJ isn't working, hope you get it going with or without the 4.2L swap... The tranny will bolt up, but you'll have to come up with something to make it shift... could do a manual switch setup, but you could damage the trans that way too... would really be a pain... Hope this info helped... sorry for being such a smart aleck... ;) john ====================================================================================== To subscribe to a list on digest.net, EMAIL majordomo-at-digest.net, no subject needed, in the body: subscribe [ fsj | xj | diesel-benz ] end (note: select only one of the options in the brackets) You will need to reply to an authentication message.
