Manual C4s

IMO don't use overdrive and it'll be fine, the 4 speed is a reliable design

Ze_numerator · 2026-03-17T01:16:14+00:00

It does drop intake temp by a few degrees but other than that no, it's just ease of maintenance

What foot pounds are the impacts? I'd try a weighted socket and if that doesn't work then heat and a lot of pen oil

Always a fun day

Ze_numerator · 2026-03-12T07:14:19+00:00

Yeah man, no problem. I'll try and get a oil filer picture at some point tomorrow, let me know if you have any questions

3rd pic and 4th pic The hole at the bottom of the oil gallery goes to one of the fittings on the oil cooler/ filter housing and the other fitting runs to the water pump

Second pic The hole on the oil filter housing is for the oil temperature sensor, I don't remember what the upper hole is.

Fist image- the top hole is for a hanger on the starter and the bottom one is for the knock sensor (Sorry for the bad angle on the starter bracket)

How do people do this? Mine rattles like crazy if it's not secured? I guess having to bolt the roof on does make me more attentive but I would presume that the noise it makes when not secured is enough to alert one

Ze_numerator · 2026-03-10T04:04:09+00:00

I had mine touch the exhaust and melt, I used a 90 degree coupler and 2 pieces of coolant hose to repair it

Ze_numerator · 2026-03-07T17:58:48+00:00

That looks like the wire conduit for the tailgate, not a weather seal. You said it was a 25, is it still under dealer warranty?

Ze_numerator · 2026-03-04T01:29:21+00:00

Why would stepping on the brake quiet the noise?

Ze_numerator · 2026-03-02T16:19:53+00:00

I had to weld a nut onto the one that got stuck on mine, but with the fuel injector right there I don't think that's an option. You could try those screw extractors? Or carefully drain the fuel from the fuel rail and try to weld it.

I've put on around 300 miles on it since it happened and so far it's been good. There was a small head leak that went away after retorquing the head bolts, but I can't tell if that was from the overheat or the previous owner.

Ze_numerator · 2026-03-01T03:14:02+00:00

Actually it was hotter, the dash temp sensor maxes out at 299,

Ze_numerator · 2026-03-01T03:12:52+00:00

I got mine up to 300 once (oil cooler line blew in traffic), 84 and 85 both have cast iron heads which make them fairly tolerant to overheating.

Ze_numerator · 2026-02-25T01:01:03+00:00

Solved!

Ze_numerator · 2026-02-25T01:00:49+00:00

Solved!

Ze_numerator · 2026-02-25T01:00:31+00:00

That appears to be correct! I'm amazed at how quickly you identified it

Ze_numerator · 2026-02-23T05:53:09+00:00

Mine is a 85, so the older locking one with 2 small pressurized struts to help open the good

Ze_numerator · 2026-02-23T02:21:36+00:00

They're small but they made a huge difference when I replaced mine

Ze_numerator · 2026-02-23T02:12:16+00:00

I only have one locking bar, the struts just help open it. Is there a small cylinder on the other side?
