  well come on down man,  yea  i dont think the gas would be worth it

[79coyotefrg]

well,  i rented a uhaul car dolly and hauled the van the 50 miles up,  that sucker was heavy   then finally got the wheels on the yota,  drug it back home, but it  kept getting hot on any hill,    and on the way to take the dolly back it started missing


i guess the liquid glass didnt work

[unclejpl4x4]

[grapevinemudder]

I'm good to go on parts for now. Got the hubs fixed this morning!
   Compression results are sad

[79coyotefrg]

yea  im so depressed right now,  i just wanna curl up and sleep

[Willy Mammoth]

Did you use your truck for the long hard pull you spoke of? 

You should have known    that was only a bandaid fix.

Time to pull the head.    Get to work, no time for naps and stop feeling sorry for your self 

[79coyotefrg]

yea  i know

[SWAMPER]

You towed with ur truck 

[79coyotefrg]

You towed with ur truck

isnt that what trucks are for

ok, i need to get that fj40 
make it a tow rig 

[79coyotefrg]

i think the  block cracked     if i can get to it tomorrow i'll pull the head and see whats up

[DTB]

You towed with ur truck

Sorry to jack your thread, glen.  So how bad is it really to tow with a 4 cylinder?  I towed a truck 16 hours back from CO and was wondering if I should be concerned.  The truck still runs like it did before.  It really didn't like towing that rig though. I have a fresh rebuild with 3500 miles.

[79coyotefrg]

well my truck wasnt "right"  befor i towed,   , i had plenty of power except when i hit the steeper hills,   it was fairly stable,  but the one time i had to stop fast i slid all 4 tires  

the KB pistons and 060 over size is where my problems are im sure,  if its the head i think i'' still pull it and put it in my celica

and find a uncut block and put some nice stock toyota pistons in it

[brainlessfool]

Well I for one am not sorry for "jacking" Glen's thread.

I tow with my Yoda and have no trouble at all with doing so. if it's set up right it can be done.

My tent trailer weighs about 2.5K lbs. I have towed as much as 4K, butt would not want to go to far with that kinda load. not for the abuse of the truck, just that's a lot of weight with out brakes on the trailer. (was not my trailer that time!)

[79coyotefrg]

yea im guessing that van was around 4000 lbs  i had plenty of power but everytime i got on the gas it would start getting hot     i just assumed it was because of being bored .060 over    i have wondered if my oreilly's timing chain stretched  causing  some of the over heating

[79coyotefrg]

well number 4 piston its junk,  looks just like the one on the top of page 8     both of these pistons came from www.Beckracing.com

so  i am going to have another block bored .030  or .040  and run Aisin pistons,   i might get another piston for that block if its not cracked but i have a feeling it is


i am so aggravated right now i could scream,   

[Willy Mammoth]

Glen,

Not to sound over critical here, but.

Why don't you stop screwing around with all that high performance stuff and go with a stocker.

You have the dual cases to install and that will give you the power you need to get up the steep hills.

At least you will have a reliable engine and that is what is most important.

It's not a race car you know.

Then save up for the 3RZ swap.

[79coyotefrg]

not over critical at all,  im going to put a stock  22 block with stock toyota pistons in it and probably a stock 22R head    im so sick on pulling it apart every month

Well lets see, I've got 60 over pistons (from LC eng.) cam, bottom end. head work done with bigger ehaust valves in. (i did the porting and maching) dist re curve, header,  took the fan off and IB running electric fans. (black magic)

I've only had the head off once sence I put it together (2years and a half ago ) cuz the POS gasket by Victer burned though.

so the ? is, what are you doing to your poor truck Glen??

well thats the difference i guess,  you had LCEngineering pistons and i had keithblack pistons   and you had a electric fan  i had the stock fan

[79coyotefrg]

i thought you told me once you had 94mm pistons

[79coyotefrg]

well i pulled the head off,  #4 and #3  pistons are both broke,  the head has dents and has some erosion   of #3 water jacket,  so the only sealing is actually  on the fire ring and thats it

so this head is junk


i have a good ported  22R head,  i am thinking about running it,  maybe getting it decked for a good clean surface

[79coyotefrg]

oh  and the timing chain was stretched
