1997 Land Cruiser new valvecover gasket
I installed a new valve cover gasket and spark plugs in my new to me 1997 Land Cruiser. In the background you see my 1994 Land Cruiser. Moral of the story; change your spark plugs every once in a while.
The color is factory Moon Glow Pearl.

      Yes, if it’s the factory gasket and still in good shape, it’s a medal clad gasket, so you can reuse them. But be prepared to either get a new one or have some silicone on hand. Good luck with yours!

    • @danedwards7597
      @danedwards7597 4 місяці тому

      What I used was just a standard 6 foot chain link fence post. I dug the hole with a post hole digger 2feet deep. I drove the post into the ground 2 feet, then fill the hole with cement (about 1 forty pound bag). This left about 2 feet of the post exposed out of the ground and boy is it sturdy! I was going to add a ground rod, but with the post in the dirt 2 feet and in 2 feet of concrete on top of that, I don’t think I need it.

      I had to rewatch the video to remember 😮. What used was an aluminum elbow and a piece of scrape aluminum cut from a sheet from my buddies shop. I ended up moving away from that antenna as I switched to a dual band Icom IC-2730a radio and went to a Diamond X50n antenna. The Ed Fong worked great, I just didn’t need the 220 MHz band anymore and I had ordered the wrong coax (N type ends), so I went with the X50. Sorry if I didn’t help. (The X50 works better too)

    I had the same problem with my X50 after about 8 months in service. My ID-5100A went deaf. I measured 2m SWR over 4:1. I took it down and opened it up. It was full of water! All the foam rings were soaked and the copper element was corroded. Maybe you should check yours as well. I have no idea how the water got in but since the top of the element was wet, it must have got in under the chrome cap.

    Since you've had them longer than just about anyone I can find, have you had any issues? I just haven't pulled the trigger on Amazon fuel injectors. I made the mistake of just replacing the seals on mine when the headgasket was done, but now I've got lean codes occasionally and a rough idle when I pull up at a stoplight in gear especially. If I can fix that then I'm ready to go wheeling. Also need to change the injector plugs when I remove the injectors since almost all of them have broken tabs. Just don't want to wait the turn around time for mine to be sent off, and wondering if these are going to last.

I know the Santa Ana winds can be rough, so you may want to consider a guy wire in the direction (facing) of the wind. Good luck!
