1 inch tubing?

 

Today so far i put in a new to me coolant passage and hose, Re-did a ground, popped the battery back in, sat in it and listened to some music then i realized that the amp was not grounded thru a wire but it was still on. Im guessing its grunding thru the case.

Now im waiting for a mechanic to come help me out getn it running. hope this fcker dnt leave me hangin

 

Gave it a bath!!!!

 

i test fitted the 302 and the 02 tacoma bumper

 

grounding through the case, you mustve been like wtf?!

 

I fixed my timing belt problem I had after replacing the water pump. I also replaced the rear brakes. Going up for sale tomorrow!

 

yesterday i finished putting everything back together after fixing an oil leak. once i had it running again, i quickly found i had no oil pressure! anybody got any ideas where i should start? was just going to replace the oil pump, unless there is a less expensive fix.

Anybody?

 

this is next on the agenda once i get it running properly. i've got some gnarly hard water stains on all the windows. makes it very hard to see where i'm going.

 

Said to hell with it and pulled the motor apart. Just have the distributor to mark and pull then the off comes the head. Have the gaskets ordered. Screw it, either way I've gotta do it right? Who's gonna buy a truck with a bad head gasket???

 

I willl how much ?

$1200 OBO... but I may drop that... hell half of the truck's NEW!

 

just posted in the other thread, I would love to buy it man. I only make 100 bucks a week tops so I cant afford it right now... plus im already 600 bucks deep in my motor and its not installed yet...

 

Hell yea dude. I thought to myself "No wonder my neighbor was so willing to give it away..." lol now i kno to keep the case away from metal hahah...

And well today i dint do sh!t to my truck since the mechaninc that came yesterday told me it dint have compression on 2 cylinders, and for some reason there was massive amounts of fuel coming OUT OF THE INTAKE!!!. Im guessing its either i somehow mixed a vaccum line and a fuel line together somehow, or my cold start injector is spewin toooo much fuel into the intake chamber...

Anyway, I might be buying a Nissan BUT! the yota is staying. Ima buy a new motor for it wen im able to..
FML!!!!!

 

i say just look for the obvious on your motor... my fuel lines are hardlines i think.

 

No problem man, looks like no matter what I'm gonna have it a while, not much response on the Craigslist front....

 

reworked suspension geometry and mounted my rack and pinion.

 

Dropped off my 20R head at the machine shop.

Explained to him that "stage 5" LC valves and seats actually fit in the chamber. Told him to intall those (with critical valve stem height difference noted), mill it 50 thousanths, install valve guides, clean and pressure check the coolant (in case the seats ate into a passage).

He told me around $350-450. And getting it back in a week and a half.

 

holly hell man thats a lot of money to spend on your head...

 

Slapped the head back on after cleaning it all up. Tonight is the fuel pump, distributor, and intake.
Step by step.

 

A thousand bucks,.........A dent in the wallet.
