Need help on ac system.....First of all I bought an o ring kit for the hoses and started to replace them but it feels like when I am tightening the nuts I am crushing the o rings !! How tight do they need to be ?? Second question.. What the hell is that valve right off the drier with the small hose hooked to it ?? Mine is all jacked up and had pieces of o ring hanging out of it !! Can I buy that valve separate ? I just bought a new drier and condenser so I think I am good there just not sure about that valve.

With that oil leak and idle issues/misfire issues I'm thinking the head is warped or cracked. I'll try my best to check the exhaust manifold for cracks and loose bolts again but if thats not the problem I'll just get a new head....and or rebuild it to a mild stroker.

Thanks for help guys. Really hope I get this figured out soon

Thanks. I know the guy so if it does have a crack, no big deal. He said $60 when i asked how much too.

Is the 99 intake a direct swap on a 98?

is there a write up for doing undercoating on the xj? what brand/type is the best? do you have to pull your trans to do it or any other components etc etc

i was thinking i would like to put new carpet in cuz mines in debate-able condition but first i would like to do a bedliner on the inside and also undercoat the underside to protect my floorpans inside and out not sure of the condition of them at the moment but i havent really given it a thorough going over only seen some surface rust on the hood

also the plastic fenders do they just come off along with the clips that hold it on or do the clip parts need to be cut off? thanks

sorry for the huge post late nite brainstorming is dangerous

I used bailing wire in mine for a long time but you can get a new clip from a parts store probably the only problem is you have to re crimp cable to put a new one on

Cool thanks I just had the idea of spreading the cable and popping it around the little metal nub.

That might work. When I changed my tranny I got a whole new cable with a good clip so that was convenient
