54bobby Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Gasket sealer? YES? NO? ONLY CERTAIN ONES? If only certain ones, which ones? I know having sealer ooze into the throat is no good, but so is a vacuum leak. is the tb something that would wharp and need to be resurfaced? The old gaskets looked to have something holding them down but then again, could have just been 37 years of age.
Dzimm Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 What is the issue you are having? A vacuum leak? Where is the leak at?
54bobby Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 The issue is 37 years and 238k and drivability isn't what it was. I know I have sensor and and sensor wiring issues and pulling the tb makes the job easier, so I bought a rebuild kit and turns out my diaphragm was bad.
Dzimm Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 To me the TB is a cheap enough thing I'd just buy a replacement and send yours in for a core. Good time to go bored if you'd like.
eaglescout526 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 He has a 2.5L. Unless he has an HO swap you can’t bore our Renix TB’s

eaglescout526 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Yeah he was curious about it too and I showed him my spare and said the wall looks too thin to bore it out.
54bobby Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 ok, so no sealer on the tb gaskets. next question, I'm doing new vacuum lines. which ones can i cap off and which can't i cap? right now i'm keeping MAP, vc to tb, brake booster, and ccv. do i need the others that run to and from the air box? forgot to mention, i did put a vc on her a few years back from i believe it was a 95 wrangler, it's the one WITH OUT the bosses in it. when cleaning the tb, the fitting that accepts the vac. hose from the fitting on the side of the vc was totally clogged. i know the flutes can be trimmed to reduce oil in the air box, would that also reduce the fitting on the tb from getting clogged?
