Yes, but cover up your coolant ports and be gentle around the seals (cam and crank), better to clean those by hand later... B

Pretty much what I expected, it simply looks like the rest of the engine did. Normally speaking it shouldn't be that bad, but if the cover was loose as you said, it is absolutely no surprise. So, get a new belt and tensioner and what ever tools you need and change it out, cleaning as you go. With a little bit of luck, it'll run fine after that. If you plan to do more mudding, you may want to use blue loctite on the cover screws and probably some RTV for the sealing surfaces as well... Best of Luck, Bud!! B

Rubber gives more than poly so it won't feel as stiff and its wearing out should seem more progressive. Poly does need to be lubricated but should last longer in punishing applications. Perhaps it doesn't like salt? I have new poly bushings for my upper control arms and compression rods so we'll see how long they last. B

^Agreed. I've bought several different styles of 'cheap' bleeders and wound up throwing them all away because they didn't work worth a crap. A few weeks ago I got one of these http://www.amazon.com/OEM-25136-Vacuum-Pump/dp/B000CMDPBM in hopes of it working worth a damn but I haven't used it yet. I figure that even if it doesn't do the job, I still have a vacuum pump for diagnostic purposes... B

Sorry, that is the size for the manifold bolts which is what most people ask about. I don't know the size of the other bolts, my stock exhaust is long gone... The largest that fits is a good bet and stainless might be a good idea up in your area. B

Do you have a grinder or saws-all or some such alternate bolt removal tool? Have you tried heating it up with a torch and hitting it with a hammer a few times?? B

Ahh, I get it now. True, ground clearance doesn't really change without bigger tires, but that isn't the only reason to lift. Some people squeeze on the biggest tires possible without lifting just for this reason. Still, suspension lifting and tuning does the most and may allow enough room for the tires one wants, IMO the body lift should only be used after that if it is not enough. Of course, this is from someone who has both a body and suspension lift and runs stock sized tires... B

Ok, I can see that... B

In english, Nunya!! B

Yes, the 3" is cheaper but I bought a 2" from a private party for even less. The 3" are cheaper due to volume of sales, everyone seems to want to go as high as possible... The real question is how high do you need/want to go and why? The only real thing thing a body lift does is raise the CG, give you clearance to access things and raise the wheel wells for large tire clearance. What size tire do you plan to run? B

I'll post a picture of mine... B

I think that it is safe to say that any photo posted here on this free internet site can be used by anyone as long as it is not for profit, claimed, defamed, modified (other than size), etc. It is still polite to ask though, so that is appreciated. If you need some pictures of UberBurgers™, let me know... B

Water is technically a lubricant, but that alone shouldn't cause a belt in proper adjustment and condition to jump as I understand it. Packed with mud on the other hand... I'd really just go by what you see when you pull the covers and inspect at this point. I hope it's as minor as possible... B

So I have been reading up and I have heard everything from WD-40, antifreeze and Vasoline to Transmission Stop Leak and silicone. From what I can tell, Vasoline and any petroleum based (or containing) mixture is bad news. WD-40 is a short term, beautifying agent. (Ive used it on black plastic trim with great results) The jury is out on antifreeze and TSL so far. Silicone seems to be the thing, but needs to be tested to see how far it goes. Bear with me through some quotes I read. So, I just happened to have a can of this sitting around so I slathered a few pieces with it to see if it actually restores or just protects. Oddly enough, it is only the rear most window trim, bottom of the two door windows and the top of the windshield that is effected. The other rubber trim is in quite good shape, I wonder what the difference in material is and why... Does anyone have any experience to share?? Thanks. B

Inside, Hell Yeah!! But D720 with a Z24?? *gulp* I'm not sure I could do that to myself, much less others... B

*snort* I would actually go for it if it was 4x4 and had a motor upgrade... B

Yep. Remember to use talcum powder when appropriate for finding oil leaks. Dust an area and a fresh leak stand out... B

Ok, probably not the belt then... B

Can't help you with the truck issue, but nice toy!! Unfortunately, I can't have one here in Kali, the terrorirorists might get a hold of it and end the world!! Can't tell what make it is (not intimately familiar) but I'll bet it has a Walther barrel? What do you have it sighted in at?? B

Why would that be, I have bolts holding my headers on. Studs are for girls and Err, I needed the spindle nuts... Sorry, but I didn't hear from you and I needed another tranny cooler so I went to the JY myself. I grabbed the nuts but no pigtails. I think Nunya is sending me what he has... Thanks for trying, do I owe you anything?? So you replaced the torque converter and the problem is solved now?? B

Cant go wrong with BFG A/T KO IMO although I recall some people not liking them in the snow. In the Product Reviews section there is a thread called The Unofficial Tire Review or something. Tons of first hand feed back there... B

This. Once you have drilled all the way through, the stud should be much looser and can be easyouted otherwise you increase the drill size until it comes ou or there is nothing left. Left handed drill can help tremendously also... B

I have a grill but it is more grey than black. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=30374&st=0&p=575596&hl=grill&fromsearch=1entry575596 Sorry to hear about the wreck, but that shouldn't be too bad to fix... B

You were reving the hell out of it, right?? When was the last time the belt was changed? I'll bet there is mud in there too so if it got wet or packed with mud and revved hard I could see it jumping a tooth or two. Also, in retrospect, I imagine that the round tooth belts are more likely to jump than the square tooth... B
