Re: 84 reg cab CO: engines are over-rated

I'd like to get the parts, just don't know when I'll have the cash for them. Work has picked up a bit, so maybe sooner than later.

Apparently I forgot how to check compression... kinda need a starter to spin the engine; hand-power won't get accurate numbers. Duh.  :smack:  I may be borowing an engine stand this week from a buddy so we'll see what the oil pan looks like on the inside. I opened the iol filter and it's just old/dirty; no bearing material at all. Maybe I jumped the gun saying "head gaskets"... here's hoping!

I also found a local-ish yard with a 2WD T100 oil pan in case I absolutely HAVE to do that with my hi-steer; some builds do, some don't.  :dunno:
