Re: ??? changing head gaskets ???
i am deciding on whether or not to buy a 1986 bronco II 4x4 w/ 2.9L 4sp w/ overdrive. it is very hard to start, once it starts it does not want to stay running and smokes like crazy. the smoke is a white-grayish color and I'm sure it is burning anti-freeze, so i am thinking that it has a blown head...

Hey Phillippi, Sounds like you are on the right track. The only thing I would change would be to let all of the vehicle weight set on the springs and front end.

That is an interesting question. You replace the clutch by removing the trans and transfer case if equipped. The shop repair manual be it Chilton's or whatever will have a section on how to change the clutch. It is to long a process to spell it out right here. If you don't have a repair manual handy...

The TFI is an regular failure item on these engines. I have also seen the Hall effect sensor on the inside of the dist to fail. To replace the TFI you need a special thin wall socket. I know several people that have made their own by grinding an old socket. You can buy one ready made at your local a...
