Brake cleaner or soak it in Super-Clean and rinse with water. Works great

Nothing will work. Nothing will stop it. If you want it done correctly you will have to replace something. Not like the engine is all that hard to pull. If its not the oil pan gasket its the rear main. If its the rear main you could just pull the transmission out More like "Redneck ways to...

PCV grommets, generic at any parts store

i check at the thermostat housing or right next to the temperature sensor

you replaced the 1 wire sensor and not the 2 wire sensor correct? ground the 1 wire sensor wire and see if the gauge pegs. the 2 wire sensor is for the ECU and the 1 wire sensor is for the gauge and the 1 wire sensor is actually called the sending unit

turn up your idle speed screw, you'll have to play with it a little until the computer can't detect closed throttle anymore the computer detects throttle closed, low load, high rpm. and shuts off fuel during coasting i'd rather just save a little gas lol

hammer on a socket that fits snugly.

well without a picture im going to guess... there are usually 2 angled wires for cylinder 4 and cylinder 3.

4bt sounds like the most doable... but very expensive to do the initial swap.

a hammer and a brass punch. don't pry

i'd still start with cleaning the contacts on the tcase shift motor.. by far the most common problem with shift issues. the transfer case shift module uses the switch contacts on the back of the motor to sense what position the transfer case is in.

just to be clear you are trying to go into 4low with the transmission in neutral(auto) or pushing the clutch in right? otherwise its probably dirty contacts on the back of the shift motor. remove 3 screws and clean them up

you can make a gasket or use a very light coating of RTV... when i say light coating i mean not enough to squeeze out and flake off which could destroy the engine bearings
