Well ive decided that im going to gte new rings for the bad cylinder, new head gasket, and anyhting else i need. My friend from work came with me to my house, and he said its most likely rings, so he is going to help  me drop the oil pan crank and redo timing. So my next pay check will start the epoch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunitly, i cracked the little guy so i need a new one, any ideas were i would get it? Toyota dealer?

Mark

[weirdtimes_7]

Thats good, really good. But there is still a concern that you may have a bad head gasket. I wouldn't push it to hard untill you have determined if you have a bad head gasket or not.. you might blow her up if you don't find out

Well on a compression test, bubbles would be coming up in the radiator, and i saw none, so im ruling out bad head gasket.

Hay man do you have the big vacuum hose for the throttle body, i see it not hooked up  if its not hooked up it will not run or will run like poo

Mark

why would it do that??? just curious...

[Rainer]

Hey Josh, that hose i removed to get to the bolt better, it is reinstalled now. You doing anything this sunday? Could you help me? It runs now but seems to be miss firing alot. I dont know though.

why would it do that??? just curious...

When the head gasket is leaking air goes through the block into the cooling system. Im not sure how, but in my training in engine perf. I learned that.

Mark

P.S. im grounded from driving except to and from work for the entire summer. I get to do something i want in my car once every two weeks, due to a D in math. I need a B average in order to drive, my summer is kinda screwed.

[fatt_matt]

good luck man, on getting that B.. what math are you taking???

i dont really wanna go looking through the whole thread again,   but where are you in colorado???

[Rainer]

Arvada, right outside Denver. Oh i didnt get the B that is why im grounded for the whole summer.

Mark

[fatt_matt]

damn... that's harsh... 


you're out of school   already???

i got like 1-2 more weeks..

[Rainer]

Yeah i got out on thursday. So iw ork full time now as well. MOre money to invest in my runner. LOL

Mark

[GA Runner]

i just got an 89 4runner and i was wondering what kind of axel u had in the front cause i was gonna change my front axel. thanx

[Rainer]

MY axle is the stock 85 axle that the 79-85 toyotas have.

Mark

[854RUN]

Hey Mark, grounded for the whole summer for getting a D, wow i was lucky to get D's in school, except for auto class (A's) lol.

[Rainer]

Yeah Josh, I got 1 A, 3 Bs and a D. I had a 104% in auto class. Well im grounded from driving, only to and from work i can do. Every two weeks i can take my car or truck and do something i want. Other wise i can still do stuff, i just have to be picked up or meet somewhere. I have the truck almost fixed. I cant figure out the last problem.

Mark

[fatt_matt]

whats the problem??? is it the engine one?

[Rainer]

Yeah, it runs now, it just miss fires really bad. Also when im drivig it feels like it just revs when i get to 3k-4k rpms, like no power.

Mark

[854RUN]

As far as the miss fire goes, that sounds like a timing issue (cap, rotor, plugs, wires, timing) did you replace any of that stuff. so when driving when you hit 3k or so dose it feel like an instant power boost? If so it is most likely related to the time issues you are having.

[Rainer]

NO when i hit 3k it just lags. I replaced my plugs, and thats it. Should i replace the distributor?

Mark

[Vic stuff]

start with the basic stuff, plug wires, cap, rotor, get your timing set.  sucks about bein grounded, wow dont miss those days, lol

[854RUN]

x2 and set the timing about 10* adv...

[Rainer]

I did my timing last night. WOW is what about 10 degrees behind. SO i set it ten degrees in advance. It idles better now, but it still miss fires really bad. So im going to replace my cap, rotor, and plug wires. Hope that will fix it.

Mark

[Rainer]

Well im stuck, i replaced the cap, rotor and put performance plug wires on the runner. Well it still miss fires really bad. This sucks! I need help. Here are some pics.

Mark

[Jud]

Your #'s 3 and 4 plug wires look like ther switched around!

[Rainer]

I just got some Marlin Crawler rock sliders from a guy in town, brand new for $100. Im not sure what would be the best way to mount them? Any help would be great, maybe some pics as well would be nice. I think im going to bolt them on, not sure how though.

Mark

[DTB]

weld them on...plate the frame where you weld them and use gussets on the tops of the legs

use jackstands to hold them in position when welding (another person helps to hold too)

the plate in the pic is straight, a 45 degree turn or fishmouths would be better though

[Rainer]

I removed my intake manifold today, look and tell me what you guys see. I see anti freeze in my manifold? My injector electric plugins all suck balls. What to do? Hey DTB where can i get those plates? Is there fuel pressure in the fuel rail with the manifold off? I want to remove the injectors but will fuel poor out?

if the truck as been sitting for a bit and not ran you should be able to pull the fuel rail and injectors with out fuel spraying all over. That look like antifreeze or the green mud u sucked up  .
