I look at mine when I get home, I do believe there are 2-4 screws on each side that clamp it to your rails(probably torx bit)... i'll get back to ya on that...
At 93xxx I'm definately going to replace all the gaskets anyway... There is a head shop bout 10 mins from my house I planned on taking the heads to to be looked at... Still don't know which brand of head gasket is considered best
I'll see if I can't find a link for the 04 FSM
Ridenby:
clearwater cylinder head inc. out of florida... the right cylinder head is casting no. 984 and the left is 983... cylinder-heads.com... look under chrysler
Furthermore, I've been thinking the head shouldn't be warped... It has never...
Budke:
I found the heads for 300 each... no core charge up front... free shipping... plus a prepaid ups shipping label to send back the core... as long as you send back everything from the old heads, there is no core charge... these heads are completely remanufactured, new valves, valve...
So this is what i figured I would do... I'll do the block test, so i'll have a better idea before tearing it apart... label everything as I go (even the bolts)... take my time tearing it down... remove BOTH heads... inspect them myself and see if there is anything NOTICABLE... if not, i'll send...
Not exactly sure what is wrong with the head on it now... I took it to my mechanic, since I could not figure out what was going on with it, and he told me that my coolant isnt leaking "out" anywhere... that it is leaking inside the head, and burning off, that is why my spark plug is burning out...
Soooo... Turns out I need to replace my cylinder head on the passenger side... What all do I need to get to do this job? I know I obviously need a head and a gasket set, but not sure from there... Thanks in advance!
You can open it up and check it out in a day... order the part... wait 2 days for it, and put it back together in a few hours... probably looking at 4-5 days... ONLY because you'll have to wait for whatever parts you'll need... sucks!
about 300rms/ 600peak is plenty to run 2 8's... I'm not looking for that ghetto a$$ bass like the ricers have... I mean seriously... IT'S A JEEP... the extra bass you get from a surround sound system in the house vs. just the tv is the difference I am going for... just enough to enjoy...
you can feel that vibration over the intake manifold can't you... and btw my problem.. ALSO on cylinder 4... very very similiar to yours... and it was a bad lifter... mine was an 04... hmmm
the springs breaking were more notorious for the older models than they were for the newer models... still not uncommon... a bad coil should strike a code... It has to be something to do with the valve train... the rocker for the timing chain could be loose or broken, and the sound you are...
The valve cover is easy to do... and as long as the gasket is still good, you can reuse it... and if it's not good, than atleast you were able to replace it ; )...
you haven't mentioned anything about overheating and such... also, have you checked the oil, and does it look milky... it...
I'm not a big fan of that box... I've seen people customize their own for the rear that seem to take up less space... It does look very clean... but I have a lot of gear that I need to be able to fit in the rear of my kj... that's why I went with under the front seats... <-- now that is...
There should be a sensor or button that senses when the doors are open. I'm GUESSING... Just guessing one of them may be sensing that the door is open all the time. Same applies for the tailgate and glass. Not sure if there is a fuse for this or something... Wish I could help more!
That's good you found my thread on it, let me know if you have any questions... And make sure you get yourself the valve spring compressor tool you will need. Ill get the part number on that tool for you.
