here is a stupid newb ?... once you weld on the upper gusset, where do the shocks mount?

on the upper gusset. through the hole in it. Single shear design, like a LC...instead of the pickup-style double shear.

cherry... thanks thats what i thought but i wasnt sure and it will prob make my life easier knowing that now for when i weld mine on... $Beer Chug\'n$

Duffil · « **Reply #676 on:** Jan 15, 2008, 08:29:38 PM »

well...it would appear I either lost valve guide seals or a ring this morning. $I\'m Down$ Gonna check plugs tomorrow and see which cylinder is in trouble.

I am now Mosquito Abatement.

CrazyYota · « **Reply #678 on:** Jan 17, 2008, 07:31:12 PM »

That sucks bro! i still have the block with pistons if you need it.

Duffil · « **Reply #679 on:** Jan 17, 2008, 09:19:29 PM »

Leaky head gasket?

Duffil · « **Reply #683 on:** Jan 18, 2008, 06:29:09 PM »

I blew it today. Thermostat stuck closed. It looked worse when I changed the thermostat at lunch today.

Yota4life · « **Reply #684 on:** Jan 18, 2008, 08:09:04 PM »

I just basically did a head gasket plus some upgrades and its pretty easy, it was my first head gasket ever and i did it just by a little reading on the pirate board and the FSM. If i do it ever again i would pull the motor though.

Duffil · « **Reply #685 on:** Jan 18, 2008, 08:33:54 PM »

I've done them before probably 3 or 4 times, and I built this engine...it's not a big deal. It's just a PITA.

I am contemplating changing cams while I have this thing apart...I'm gonna try to find some specs on a few and run them through Desktop Dyno to see the power curve and where it will change. It's still up in the air though.

Yota4life · « **Reply #686 on:** Jan 18, 2008, 10:47:32 PM »

Thats been done before here http://forums.off-road.com/engines/223195-camshaft-profiles-22r-2.html

Im running the engnbldr 268 torquer cam and it pulls pretty good in the higher rpms. Half the price of LC also.

not yet. I have actually been driving it

I am driving my boss' truck now, so I am waiting on a few more parts to show up, and then it should get torn down Saturday and back together by Monday night, as long as the machine shop gets the head back to me monday.
