 Did you ever get around to taking pics of the intercooler?  Anyone else fitted one since this thread was posted? Would love to know if anyone has ever come across an intercooler kit for the JX?  I am getting the gear box rebuilt next month and I'm tempted to go for a higher 5th (So I can cruise at 70mph below 3,000rpm if possible) Anyones thoughts on whether or not this is a good idea.

Kinda related Wink
 
Just removing and refurbing exhaust on my 2.1 DJ whilst I've got the engine out (ex valve on no.4 leaking).
 
All the bolts are rusted to **** so cutting them with a ultra thin angle grinder (0.8mm) that nicely fits between flanges where the gasket is (top tip Smile)
 
When rebuilding I was thinking of using stainless steel bolts or ARP type high tensile to avoid corrosion. Apart from cost Cry just wondered if there are any other reasons not to do this e.g. different expansion rates, bad reaction to mild steel etc.
 
Any thoughts?
 
BTW, hi Smile, 1st post for newbie with T3 camper we are restoring - more used to working with yanks so it makes a nice change to have only 4 cylinders! Shocked
 
cheers,
