Dogote Posted April 11, 2016 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 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.

Dogote Posted April 12, 2016 Author 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..........
