Question about redline Gear oil.
Of course MT-90 is still available. MT-85 is just a 75-85W, MT-90 is 75-90W…. I’d bet a 6-pack you would NOT be able to tell the difference in shifting. If you live a colder climate, the MT-85 would flow a little better at lower temperatures.Regarding shifts… for me it may be very difficult to determine “how” a shift should feel. I prefer a “crisp” shift where there is a detective feel in my hand at the shifter when the gears change. After having two W56 5-speeds rebuilt, the shifts were tight, with some noticeable momentary force at the moment of gear change. Once the new synchros become balance in their friction forces, the shifts became smoother with less detective force at gear change.After 100K+ miles on synchos the feel of the shifts become harder and require more force at the stick to change gears, either shift up or shift down, more on down-shifting.I’d go with whatever Redline Technical people advise…. They are the experts.If I lived in a cold climate, I’d be running full synthetic oils and gear lubes.That just my opinion – it may be worthless.Gnarls.
...I CAN confirm it's the oil pan and NOT the rear main. I got a good flash light and looked in the peep hole and it's dry as can be.
I appreciate all the help everyone has provided, specifically you Gnarls! I'd buy you all a beer if I could.
I managed to seal an oil pan leaking bolt by gooping RTV around it...……...
What is your timing set at?
The new engine "break-in" I've been following is what Toyota recommend in the owner's manual. Don't go over 55 for the first 1000 means no freeway. No cruising at speeds for long periods of time. No lugging the motor (never heard it ping) I also follow the Toyota recommended shift points...
Sweet, you can go wheeling with besgen
Just ask automotive shops if they have a 5gas. Also, it would almost certainly pass the wa state test cause they jacked up the numbers about 6 years ago. I wanna say 400ppm on HC, fogot what CO was? Basically, if you dont have dead miss, you PASS!
Engine rebuild break-ins.... very interesting topic. Gnarls.
1500 miles on the rebuild now. Runs like a raped ape. Really been fightin' to get absolutely no valve tick. I'm guessing most just give up after awhile. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
Hey T...You will be fighting a battle I don't believe you are going to win. These engines make rocker noise. The very best you should expect is to get the rocker tick balanced across all 8 valves.By the way... a bad stock fuel pump can sound like rocker tick. And... an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold or header can sometimes sound like rocker tick. Also... if you not paying attention, a timing chain can also sound similar to a rocker tick.That's just my opinion - in may be worthless.Gnarls.
I would have to agree, it's a battle I'll never win. I've always wondered how these things sounded when new, no way Toyota would've sold a truck with a ticking motor, I wonder what they set the clearance at from factory? Can't be the 0.008 and 0.012I've been setting mine to 0.007 and 0.011 COLD, which is NOT what Toyota said. I've read that Marlin recommended as small as 0.006 and 0.010 to make them quieter. Always seems to be the back two intake valves. As far as the fuel pump, I know they can make a noise, mine is silent. Chain is good too, checked today. As always, thanks for your opinion! You've done a bunch to help me with questions and I really appreciate it. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
22re vehicles left with a bit of an engine tick all the time. It's a solid cam lift design. Valve train noise is normalAnd required in order for there to be sufficient lash. The most common thing I have seen is people over tightening the 4 valve cover bolts. This will pull up on the rocker shaft assembly causing the valve clearance to increase and the valve tick to increase beyond acceptable levels. from an old Chevron employee Pull up a couple videos of any old time v8 equipped with a solid lifter cam and you will hear the same type of noise.I caution all of you on adjusting the valves beyond 7 and 11.http://www.lcengineering.com/LCTechPages/ValveAdjustment.html
Hey T...I'm curious to read about what your warm engine valve lash adjustment and rocker noise sounds like? Gnarls.
