    I got spare engine sitting at home. You can have it, if you want. It is from my lawnmower. Briggs and Stratton baby!

    Two of them here. 97 4Runner with 262000 and the 96 Taco with 353000. I'm not easy on them either. Both regularly see RPM's well above 3K. These motors last and don't mind being high in the RPM band.

    Did you try torquing them down a little?
    I’ve heard that helps.

    Mine were seeping for the last 100k miles. I actually bought the kit 2 years ago and finally did something about it last week.

    Yeeeaaaa buddy! :burnrubber:

    That i will do when the engine goes. Probably in a million years since my engine is bad ass. My dad has a nissan 87 pickup. He bought it brand new when i was a young lad. He has drove that thing to woodland and back to west sac every day for the past 33 years. I remember road trips to LA and mexico when i was young. Sleeping in the bed in a lowered truck was not the business. Lol. That thing is still going. The odometer has turned. Fucken crazy

    I thought I was being stalked just now. Silver DCSB, DCSB metallic grey (El Camino/Lawrence), another Silver with a soft top (Safeway/Homestead), and blue with either GFC or Vagabond on Homestead and San Thomas).

    Leaking on the side close to the ABS module. It's slowly making its way to the headers which is annoying lol

    Try giving the bolts a twist-but first, look for any pinching of the gasket.

    Warn M8000. Definitely worth keeping an eye on Craigslist. Every now and then you'll find something for dirt cheap. I picked mine up for 300 bucks, used once. It was in perfect condition. My dad got stupid luck with finding a 9.5cti for only a 900 bucks. :eek:
