Dogote Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hello, I'm finally getting to some much needed repairs on the 1986 Comanche X 2.5 manual transmission truck I bought a year ago. I bought a aluminum Valve cover, a bunch of gaskets, hoses, and have some parts I took off of my Jeep JK that I will recycle into the suspension like a set of RK 2.5" coils and some Bilstien remote reservoir shocks. I am having trouble finding the throttle body gasket. Does anyone know where to get one? None of the usual places like Summit, Dorman, or Crown seem to have it. I have had really good luck finding everything from Summit. I usually search the Crown or Dorman number and it comes right up. I usually need enough things to get the free shipping. It appears that the gasket comes with a new fuel injector. Should I just get one? I have no reason to think mine is bad, but I have not checked the spray pattern and the truck does have 190K miles on it. Here's the injector that appears to come with gaskets: http://www.morris4x4center.com/fuel-injector-2-5l-engine-83504851.html But it says "Parts Included:(1) Crown Fuel Injector" So who knows? The same part at Summit shows just the part in the picture. Any help would be appreciated, and yes, I have read the Renix tips, didn't find what I was looking for, but found a lot of other good tips that I will do.

benjy_26 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Go to Oreilly's and get BWD part # 10822. It's what I used to replace all the gaskets on my 87's TBI system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll see if I can get it online from them. Nearest O'Reilly's is 45 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogote Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 But now I have found a bad valve. I did a compression check and the rear cylinder was only making 60 PSI. I then did a leak down test and the rear cylinder was 30/70. I pulled the head and the valves don't look too bad. The valve guides are okay too. I think if I re-cut the seats and grind the valves. it will be fine. I am now questioning if I should just pull the engine. I'll start a new thread..........
