Thanks everyone.. great ideas! I'll see if I can pick up an accomadable swivel. If not, I'll drop the engine...I didn't even think of that.

How?! Stupid 4.0 straight six... stupid sheet metal lip on the firewall. Am I missing something... I need a deep socket to fit the headbolt, but I don't have enough room to fit the deep socket and torque wrench. Is my engine misaligned, because the sheet metal lip on the firewall is impeding...

Ordered the cylhead through Clearwater Cylinder Head Inc, 300$ shipped I ordered a rebuilt 0331, delivered in 3 days. I just went out an inspected the head and it doesn't look like it's had any previous cracks patched up. I thought about the 0631, but the custom DI mount and replacement header...

Thanks. I'll try to pick up a new set of headbolts if they have them because I'm not sure if they have ever been replaced. I'll look for the paint mark but that's trusting the fact that a previous mechanic marked them. Do exhaust manifolds usually crack? That would suck. If that's true, I could...

Is the clutch of the compressor engaging?

2000 sport with 97k miles. The 0331 head cracked on me. I am about to replace the SOB this week and was about to order the supplies. The replacement head arrived in the mail yesterday. What else do I need to order that I am not thinking about? I am about to place an order for a Head gasket...

2000 XJ Sport A few weeks ago the front end started clicking after the car was warmed up when I applied the brakes lightly.. now, it will continue to do this but also now jerking back and forth lightly (kinda of a knock and pop) at light acceleration from a stop. It doesn't occur when cold and...

Can anyone refer me to a good mechanic for my XJ around Philadelphia? I live in between Chestnut Hill and Fort Washington. I would like to find some one specializing in Jeeps.

suhweet....hopefully that's the case, because it'll be a lot easier and cheaper than replacing the clutch. I'll give it a try, thanks for posting!!

Anyone have info or source on the clutch/clutch coil on the Sanden compressor (709t, model 4784). My compressor works fine, system is charged and works, but as soon as the coil gets hot, it quits. Finding a replacement is being an SOB. Anyone happen to have a clutch coil laying around that could...

oh, it's a 2000 sport. I think all classic 900 hatchbacks had a bad case of rattling. too much flex in the unibody. the hatch was also huge and heavy. Actually the whole car was noisy. You could hear the engine well too easy from the passenger compartment and the doors were under sealed from wind.

So the trunk has been a squeeky devil now for about a year. I kinda submitted to the problem... previously owning a classic saab 900..... the hatch use to squeek like nothing else. Well the other day I realized why the hatch sometimes doesn't close. Apparenty one of the torx bolts holding the...

it appears theres 6 coils and three negative triggers. Will monitoring only one coil (two cylinders) be sufficient for the remote start device to work? The directions are specific to hooking up the device to single coil units or splicing into each line using a diode of a multi coil unit and...
