I'm honestly not sold on the wheels. I've been looking for Jeep snow flakes or maybe some Nissan 300 sawtooths.
I know I don't need to keep it together at this point. The zip ties are just a left over from when I pulled the head and wasn't expecting to pull...
Timing chain and cam sprocket.
Took the engine apart today. Looks like it could use new rod and crank bearings. Journals look good. Found some wear on one of the bolt heads...
Motors on the stand. Time for clean up.
I will have to check some of those out when I get back on the road. Never been to griots before. I've been to some Subaru and VW stuff at the A&W...
Thanks Pearce I will keep that in mind once I get the engine torn down. I feel like I remember seeing that you are in the same area as me, know of...
Got the head back from the machine shop. $200 bucks out the door. cleaned/pressure tested and machined. Figured while I have the engine this torn...
I did not take it to the machine shop for resurfacing. I rolled the dice on that one and it looks like I lost. I reasoned that since it wasn't...
Pulled the head again. Everything looks normal as far as I can tell. Going to have the head machined and checked for cracks. At this point that's...
I didn't put any sealant on the bolt. I don't have an fsm for this engine yet, guess it's time. In all the threads I read I don't remember seeing...
That bolt isn't snapped it's just full of dirty water.... Tricky picture :) The bolt on the front of the timing cover isn't stripped either. I...
It looks decent in there. And logic says the timing cover didn't get eaten up exactly the same time the head gasket was replaced.
Not looking good.
I don't know how to verify it's not the head gasket at this point without pulling and retrying. Don't think it's the timing chain/water pump....
I did not blow them clean with air but I did swab in the holes pretty good to try and clean them out.
Milk shake.
Well shoot I've got milk shake. I ran the truck for about 15 minutes in the driveway while I did some carburetor tuning, did a radiator flush and...
Still waiting on parts. Lce is killing me. 10 days and it hasn't even shipped. So I'm fiddling around with paint schemes on an old hood. Here's...
Still waiting on my carb parts to show up from lce. In the mean time I "fixed" the rusted out back wall of my bed. Can't see it from my house .......
