    6g72 con rod bolts

    Another thought is to price out the bolts from the dealer or other reputable source... If it isn't too expensive and time allows, just replace.

    Gen 2.5: Broken camshaft pin and other interference engine wins

    I'll have to check my records and see if I replaced the tensioner a couple years back... I have a new crank pulley bolt to install, might be worth taking it all apart to replace the tensioner (although I think I did replace it) along with the crank pulley bolt... hit a junk yard, grab a head...

    Gen 2.5: Broken camshaft pin and other interference engine wins

    yikes... what a nightmare... I'm not exaclty sure how the pins are held in, so I'm not sure how they would come out... my initial thought would be to drill it out, but thats kind of a brute force method. If you're just wanting something to be able to check compression, you might be able to weld...

    gen 3 exhaust manifold fit gen 2.5?

    What kind of mpg are you getting? I'm in the low teens, and I think its due to an exhaust leak before the O2 sensors.

    Advice on buying a Montero

    If it has a locker, it's also an SR. The orange locker operation instruction sticker is easy to spot from outside looking in the drivers window.... Usually easy to spot from online photos as well.

    gen 3 exhaust manifold fit gen 2.5?

    I've got a 3.8... So not likely to fit if it came from an 02 with the 3.5.

    gen 3 exhaust manifold fit gen 2.5?

    my gen3 drivers side is cracked... and need to replace. I think if you order some, they don't come with the studs/posts, so better check into that when ordering

    Advice on buying a Montero

    LS = no rear locker, smaller axles... possibly 3.0 engine and not 3.5 SR = locker, larger axles, 3.5L engine

    Advice on buying a Montero

    make sure it's an SR and not an LS. If you have emissions to pass, let the car idle for 60 seconds, and then goose the throttle and look to the exhaust for a puff of white smoke. If so, you'll need to to valve seals. Not expensive to do yourself, but time consuming and really requires a...

    Want to install bouncy seats in your 2.5, read here

    So last weekend I installed a pair of bouncy seat bases into my gen 2.5. Here are some things I learned: Bouncy seat bottom leather is not the same as the gen 2.5 leather, but you can make it fit onto the bouncy seat bottom foam cushion and frame with a little work (see video) A power driver's...
