Dang mang. That blows big fat hairy chunks. Maybe time to upgrade to a bigger motor?I am almost decided on swapping a 4.3/700r4 into mine. You could too and we could be like brothers from a different mother!
re the pistons in the motor you have toast? Or you want to get the new motor built before you pull this one?
Should I be worried that I have all clevite bearings right now? and thanks for the pIc!
Re reading about your loud tick reminds me of my dead one that the whole mountain side heard on the trail last year. cant wait to strip it down and see what lovely suprise awaits. haha.
I thought your noise turned out to be only your fuel pump? as per Marlin?
OH SHIZ!!! I have that same adjustable gear. Maybe I should just throw the stock non adjustable one on before I drop my motor in... what do you think?
WOW! LC better do you right man.... they owe you whatever it cost to fix it.if not, id be taking them to court... that could have been very disasterous.and what were you in West Manteca for? that just the road or were you in the city.
No, they can probably get out of it by saying because I am not a trained mechanic I installed it incorrectly. I will NOT sue them...I can take my lumps. I was heading to Lathrop to get a swingarm stand for my streetbike. I was on Hwy 120.
Now I am second guessing this whole adjustable cam gear... is the few degrees I got out of it really worth risking my engine over? Or should I just put the stock one back on?
Well I used Blue because it is service removable(in case I needed to adjust it) maybe you should use Red though...I don't know Todd. I can't tell if the nut backed off and caused the stud to shear, or if it is just a defective (weak) stud that couldn't handle my monster torque numbers. HO: I live about 20mins from that stinkhole. It depends on how bad it got scarred. I'm gonna build a complete new engine anyhow, from the original engine out of this truck. Bigger and better.Jud: that was some funny . Was he in the gray 4Runner? I was like Hey!! a toyota...then my phone goes off. very cool of him to call me and see how I was.
Whoa, that sucks big time, dude.That's a heck of a walk for a hot dog and a . You musta been hungry and thirsty if you didn't wanna wait for a tow truck? I hope they do something for you. Stuff like that shouldn't just happen in such short time unless it's been highly abused for some time.
I had a buddy coming from Oakdale with a trailer. Except the trailer was on its' way back from Ceres. dude I was HUNGRY as i hadn't eaten all day. that sierra nevada was great. shitty thing: there is a taqueria on the corner of McKinley and Yosemite...it was closed.and its my DD...it hasn't seen a ton of miles, and I don't beat on my junk.
