dude, if you can i would cut the entire inner part of the frame out, (same as where you are cutting out but MORE)

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #302 on:** Jul 22, 2009, 07:45:12 PM »

well i got a update the gas take side is patched up ................ out of time to do what i did to the drivers side which was not planed.

I cut a big section out welded some 3 plates together befor i welded that in.

I put a piece in the frame to cover a hole which then i patched from the out side.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #303 on:** Jul 22, 2009, 07:49:41 PM »

update? hows it coming unc?

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #306 on:** Jul 26, 2009, 07:03:54 AM »

OK update im done for now

and it felt weird driving my truck after being in a s-10 for 2weeks.

The inside of the tank was spotless

the sock was clean 8) and i got my new stuff in

I chased all the bolt holes and anti-sized every thing then lots of paint i just gooped that stuff on thick.

Thats it for now till i take a week off

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #307 on:** Jul 26, 2009, 11:36:42 AM »

at least the tank was clean

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #308 on:** Aug 16, 2009, 10:21:18 AM »

well back to the moter

it's been getting worse. it's been missing bad on cold start up after it warms up it runs rough.

Poor gas miles can smell gas driving the truck, but no leak
Truck has started to use anti-freeze i put some in last week and i just put a lot more in this week

Crank seal is starting to leak got to replace that (not motor running bad related)

Heres what i have covered so far.
1. TPS, good
2. cold start injector, good
3. new cap & rotor, good
4. AFM, good
5. water senders ,good
6. plug wires, good
7. air filter , good
8. vac lines , good
9. change plugs , aging

I Still have to do a compression check and leak down. Rad test
Note: after leting the motor cool of for 6hrs the rad still had pressure.
Note: LC injectors are really loud can here them inside the cab. ( my first suspect)
Note: already adjusted the valves
Note: truck is not over heating well not that the gauge is really useful senders good but the gauge never moves past cold.

IM thinking once aging i got another crappy LC product + now a leak some wheres maybe head maybe intake

yet

If it's missing and running through coolant...

You like doing head gaskets, right?

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #310 on:** Aug 16, 2009, 03:56:36 PM »

is it losing coolant ??

i think if it was a hg the pressure in the radiator would have already bled off

well it held pressure over night and most of the day so i don't think it could be a HG maybe a small crack in the manifold and when it heats up it leaks................

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #313 on:** Aug 16, 2009, 04:12:38 PM »

what did you use in your engine from LC? you didnt get a long block did you??

crazykooter · « **Reply #314 on:** Aug 16, 2009, 04:19:06 PM »

Hey unc Man u have been busy !! All the repairs look great. If its eating coolant and you cant see if its external then I would have to say your HG is leaking into #4 via the coolant port between 3 and 4. Mine leaked like that for well 6 months before it finally got bad enough to force me to change the hg.
If you can post pics of plugs 3 and 4 close ups. Plus have you done a compression check yet ? Heck a leak down would be even better.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #315 on:** Aug 18, 2009, 02:23:28 PM »

yup it's a headgasket shes all bubbly wubbly and peeing out the tank..................

Gonna wait till she cools off and re torque the head and hope it holds till friday..........

motor got 18,958 miles on her so the ? is why why why

maybe the arp bolts streched

i remember tighing a week or to after i put it on the road.......... ill find out in a bit if thats why.

yup dem headbolts not tight, and no it did not help

guss im walking till my kit shows up

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #316 on:** Aug 18, 2009, 05:48:57 PM »

yea i wondered about those arp's i guess i answered my own question about them stretching after heated up $I\'m Down$

crazykooter · « **Reply #317 on:** Aug 18, 2009, 05:51:07 PM »

The rule of thumb I was taught was re torque after 1000k miles then again after 5000 miles. Its not a spec its just someone experience.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #318 on:** Aug 22, 2009, 02:52:27 PM »

heads off i can't tell where it was leaking from the gasket pulled apart i got a lot of cleaning to do ........... also there was puddles of oil in the lower intake runners show a pic later.

I got clean the upper intake, head, block

zippo · « **Reply #319 on:** Aug 23, 2009, 04:25:03 AM »

Did you use oil, or ARP lub on the ARP studs? That can change the torque specs. I doubt they stretched under normal load ARP are top notch.

I also had oil in my runners, PCV valve was junk, blowing oil into the intake.

Good Luck! Atleast the bottom end is still good...

That head gasket looks gross, especially for the miles.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #322 on:** Sep 11, 2009, 07:07:00 PM »

theres no gasket on that

that head looks like

...

I have an 85 22RE head thats in better condition then that sitting in my garage.

kneedownnate · « **Reply #324 on:** Sep 11, 2009, 10:23:41 PM »

Aside from being dirty, I see absolutely nothing wrong with that head, but what do I know

Oh ok, so the head is just dirty then. I was thinking that is one bad looking gasket on it, lol. Sorry for the confusion.

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #326 on:** Sep 12, 2009, 10:15:18 AM »

Joe, what are those scratches ?? looks like they go cross ways side to side??

Oh and its been running EXTREMELY rich, when you get it back together you need to adjust the AFM to compensate for the cam

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #327 on:** Sep 12, 2009, 11:31:23 AM »

those where there after i got it back from the machine shop i think its where he planed it or what ever i whizzed them out them all out u can see them but not feel them or i would of did it the first time.

see thats what i was wondering glen if i needed to do the afm lean but since iput the ppic in i got from u it runs better so

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #328 on:** Sep 12, 2009, 11:59:52 AM »

man i wonder if those marks werent the cause of the HG going, a head shouldnt have marks on it like that, me thinks machine shop dude was on crack

spc mike · « **Reply #329 on:** Sep 12, 2009, 01:52:58 PM »

From looking at the picture of the head it looks like the machinist ran the CNC to fast leaving a coarse (but uniformed) machined finish or the end mill he was using had a chip in it. Although it could be alot better i doubt that had anything to do with the head gasket failing. As long as the head is true you should be fine. i work at a Machine and MFG shop so i seen stuff like that once in a while.
