Intake Manifold Spacer 4.0l Coming!

I do have a question. So in the install i wasn't able to put the screws in to hold the intake manifold to the block. dont know if anyone else had that happen. and if anyone else is getting a buzz in the engine. i figure its kuz the mounts are tapping at certain rpms making a buzz i dunno. Just curious i kinda like the sounnd (made my throttle body whistle louder almost sounds like a diesel) .

or if the noise was comming from my stupid 13mm socket that i lost in the engine bay.... its still in there i guarantee it.

 

Uhhhh...

 

Dear lord

 

You should not be allowed under the hood of a vehicle...

Go find your lost socket.

 

Do we get to know your secrets yet?!

 

you have no idea how pissed i was when that fucker fell off my impact gun.... i would have to remove the heads to find that socket now.... it fell off on the last bolt on the install in the back of the intake manifold so im sure its under the intake runners...

 

Do you have an extension on a magnet? I would try that before removing the headers.

 

I don't even know where to begin

 

it rolled on one of the back hoses under the runners. tried a magnet, and i used an optical line to find it.... i literally have to take off the heads at this point.... i know it wont cause any damage its just annoying to know its there. it cant be sucked in anywhere, everything is sealed tight. it could possibly fall out one day on some intense off roading maybe. seriously, i wanna kick myself for buying crappy tools

 

Impact gun!? Max torque is 22 ft/lbs! Jesus you REALLY shouldn't be allowed under the hood

 

small handheld electric impact... on a very low setting jesus im not stupid

the same impact gun i use to tighten down my hose clamps on my intake its not breaking anything

 

I guess you can chalk it up to the learning process...

 

who knows maybe ill do what Nate (xmods) did and paint my heads... in the process find that socket....

 

You should drop a set of short tubes in there while you have the heads off

 

short tube headers? pretty sure i can do that without taking off the heads.. unless ur talking about another short tube im not familiar with.

 

Yes, you can do that without taking off the heads... but while you're tearing shit apart, why not use that as the excuse to add more parts

 

I've got a 6 speed, if someone will buy the spacer and pay for the dyno run I'll be glad to try it out.

Actually how much does a dyno run cost? I never bothered to check my other Toyota truck or Land Cruisers when I had them.

 

I only painted the valve covers, not the heads

Even if you take the valve covers off, you would still have to take off the intake manifold to get your socket

 

damn it... i was worried u were gunna say that nate... UGGHHNNGGD ill just wait till one day i have free time to do a major tear down....... so, Pugga u think short tubes would be better than long tubes?

 

^ Depends which ones are equal length..
