So after the start to my tare down Ive discovered to things upon my removal of My vavlve cover #1 my timing was horribly off at least 180 out #2. Number 3 cyl. Exhaust side head stud has Welded it self to my block. What can you expect after 500k on a stock engine ? ****ed part is i can tell it hasnt been touched sense the 80s still has the metal and asbestose gaskets... If i didnt have bad luck id have none at all
Well, you have once again proven the longevity of these R motors. I'm clocking in 278,000 on my truck. It saw most of its travel in its earlier days, but I'm now about 1 mile away from work. You can say my truck in now semi-retired clocking in mileage and is aging gracefully. Yeah, #3 head bolt has seized itself in the block. I wish you luck on the removal. After you get these issues solved, you'll be good to go and enjoy the truck once again! Rick
oh ya 95hp! after some mods hoping at least 200+ think im most excited about my flame throwing stack and its a pain going to dye grind it out and us a bolt puller to get the ****er out then arp heads studs there isnt an end to this truck. its stricken a soft spot, ill roll the odometer over be for i get rid of it
oh good thing i ripped the head of the block the gasket was blown the cooling journals where almost block with burnt oil and something ive never seen be for it practically sealed it self with burnt oil after blowing the gasket. thank got i know cars all i got to say
it was replacing everything with 22r internals going to have to get the head shaved a little to fit the valves
