Fixed the brakes in my 89. pass. side shoes were hanging up and wore down to nothing and parts were just hanging out in the drum. got everything cleaned up and working right. And washed it. Fired up my 91 loyale and took it on a trip to the parts store. hadn"t been started for 3 months< and fired right up on the first crank.

in my 89 I broke a front axle at uwharrie, replaced both front axles, had to cut my exhauts out from under the car when it broke off at the flange on the way out to the Outer Banks, put 2 new tires on the rear and some good tires on the front, washed it, and waxed it. Took it out on the beaches down at the Outer Banks. did about 1000 miles in 3 days with no problems other than the exhaust breaking.

Broke a front axle in my 89 at Uwharrie a couple of weeks ago. Replaced both front axles, put 2 new tires on the rear and some good tires on the front, washed it(first time since owning the car), waxed it, drove it on down to the Outer Banks and half way there the exhaust let loose and broke at the flange right after the cat, so i cut the pipe in half with a hacksaw in a parking lot. Went riding the beaches and and got asked dozens of times if it was a 4wd.

I got rid of the leaking radiator that was in my 89 and put in one that I had around here. Seems to be ok. Also put some Legacy front seats into the 89 and finally got around to cleaning up the back seat. Found some funky tire wear going on in the front end, but I think its parcially because the struts and shocks are totaly shot. My 91 decided it didn't need an exhaust stud on the pass. side this afternoon and is laying on the road sonewhere, and the nut on that same side was just hanging on by a thread when I got home tonight. Now my quiet car is louder than my loud car.

Cam Carrier Removal Question
mudduck replied to Deener's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Get the motor mounts up and out of the crossmember first, then pull the motor forward. I usually put a jask under the tranny to got it up about man inch or so, then lift the motor up with the hoist until the mounts are clear of the crossmember, then seperate it from the bellhousing. -
Yep thats what it is. Yanked it back apart, and you can see where the gasket had deteriorated.

I just sealed up everything but didn't replace the headgaskets or intake gaskets. It definatly is leaking where the head and block meet up. The more I look at it and from what i have found here it sounds like the headgaskets.

Just got done putting in a resealed EA82 in my 89 wagon , crank it up and its just pissing oil out of the driverside between the head and the block up toward the front of the motor. everything else is dry. I am about sure that the head gasket is bad. Am I on the right track?

A piece of black tape makes that check engine light go away -
Got a 91 Loyale spfi and its leaking anti freeze at the base of the throttle body between the throttle body and the intake manifold. I went to the dealer and they weren't able to come up with anything. Anyone have a part number for this gasket, or do I need to make one?

Don't care how good of a Hi Lift jack your using, that is an accident waiting to happen.

Helped a buddy of mine out a couple weeks ago do the brakes on a BroncoII he recently picked up. It had a blown wheel cylinder in the rear which the previous owner fixed be pinching off the rear brake lines.
