well ws tinkerin on truck today, water leak fixed(pipe tape on threads for the lower water temp sender), oil leak fixed(small pinch in valve cover gasket), something told me to check the oil, and

oil was a bit milky

(( not real bad just cloudy...s.o.b ill drain it in the morn see how bad it is......frustrated

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #158 on:** Jun 12, 2009, 06:57:40 PM »

........... milky like white russin milky or MCDs milkshake milky

coolant is leaking past the timing cover gasket

at least its not the headgasket

your going to need to lower the oil pan, most of the way, it doesnt need to come off, but the front needs to be about 1/2 inch dropped down

then remove the 12mm bolt thats in the oil pool under the distributor THEN you can remove the timing cover,

you shouldnt need to remove the timing chain

k cool.. it never ran long enough to get hot barely register off cold even when i drove it to thoe house... good..... was hoping head wasnt warped...k rad/oil draining so i can remove some of the oil pan bolts.... dist,alt,ac,ps water pump (water was clean)
all removed

baldwookie · « **Reply #161 on:** Jun 13, 2009, 04:17:10 PM »

so is that the right way.... had it at 0 deg on crank then spun it till master links are like at 11:45? so i can re-align everything? just remove cam bolt?

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #162 on:** Jun 13, 2009, 04:32:57 PM »

remove the cam bolt and distributor drive, DONT REMOVE THE CAM GEAR

not really, but you shouldnt need to mess with the chain or the gears, i had to have messed up the gaskets in there behind the timing cover

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff8/baldwookie/06-12-09_2220.jpg
after i pulled it apart (gaps in the rtv?)
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff8/baldwookie/06-15-09_1339.jpg
gaskets look ok.... just on of the top holes looked a little misaligned.....not bad tho.. no tears in it
and how it sits now til i get new gaskets tues

well there should only be enough rtv on the gasket 2 hold it in place there is a few spots where a little more is good
also drop the oil pan a bit if U have not done so don't wanna bunch up the oil pan gasket or nick the head gasket when it's time 2 reassemble.

baldwookie · « **Reply #168 on:** Jun 15, 2009, 04:09:01 PM »

thnx joe....was just a little on the cover none was stuck to gaskets

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #169 on:** Jun 15, 2009, 04:39:49 PM »

i only had blue RTV

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #170 on:** Jun 15, 2009, 04:47:56 PM »

OMG how could i have missed NOT cleaning that timing cover

i must have stuck it on to check that it fit (not a laser block cover) and forgot what i was doing and just bolted it up

IM SORRY
