Glen's budget rebuild

[Oddmar]

Ok, i wasn't going to but i'll fully strip each motor, and toss the blocks in the scrap. If i'm gonna pull the heads i might as well save the cranks and con rods too, timing covers, blah blah.

The guy who owns the property where my stuff is stored wants to put a building where i have it all, and i asked him not to have his guys move my stuff around as i didn't want to lose anything else. At the very least i should go up there and sort/ move stuff into scrap/ keep/ landfill piles, and make sure it's relocated out of his way while keeping his employee's eyes/ hands off.

So weather permitting i'll make my first parts run sometime end of next week. It's been kinda cold/ rainy here and i'm just getting sick, prolly the flu, and i'm sure it'll slow me down. The guy i'm getting a used crossover steering setup from mailed it today (Wed), and said i should have it by Monday. That'll make the long trip south safe.

keep your bolts too 

[Dr.Maxwe001]

Dang even you have to get the bolts from jake makes me feel better now and not to be thread jacking but did you ship it yet

[79coyotefrg]

not really but I cant have enough Toyota bolts

[79coyotefrg]

well lets hear opinions on what could be causing my erratic miss.  sometimes it starts at half throttle sometimes at 3/4 throttle 

[Rocksurfer]

Vacuum advance, accelerator pump, or maybe just like when mine went bad, the diaphragm.

[79coyotefrg]

diaphragm??

[Rocksurfer]

diaphragm??

Yeah diaphragm!


As it gets old you can get a hole in it and fuel will get in there and cause a stumble in the engine.

time for a compression test

[Shamb]

Glen aren't you running Pitbull Rockers?  how do you like them?

i've heard they do well offroad but what about onroad?  do they track at all?  also how's the wear on 'em?

thanks

Uh oh??

I'll never buy another brand of tire

[79coyotefrg]

ive got almost 5000 miles on them and ive lost about 1/16 of rubber. maybe half a wear bar.

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Howd that compression test turn out? I always hate to break out the compression tester

[79coyotefrg]

I ended up working on another project but I wish I had just got it over with.  I wont be a bit surprised if one cylinder or more is around 50 psi or under 
its putting out maybe 80 hp right now.

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Whoa thats no good. I know how that feels too

[Oddmar]

If it really is putting out 80HP now, you'll have a normal 22R...

That 84 22R engine i have will fill a parking lot with blue smoke in 30 seconds...

If you intend to use it to build a high-compression motor, let me know and i'll strip it down and run it through the machine shop up here.

OK, yes please do cause I need it to hold 180 psi compression or better.

I did my compression check yesterday

#1.  140
#2.  140 but leaked down fairly quickly
#3.  125
#4.  135

its not running good but the compression numbers were better than I thought they would be.

[brainlessfool]

is ya sure your valves arnit to tight?

Thats not that bad. Mine was like 90, 90, 85 and 50 before I went for rebuild

[79coyotefrg]

I wish, but no  they are set to spec

[KDXSR5]

I have had a bum cylinder for a while. 3 of them are 180-190, but #4 is at only 140. I feel for ya Glen.

[79coyotefrg]

when pulling hills the smell of blow by smoke fills the cab

[79coyotefrg]

I guess I never filled yall in on what was going on with the bad running issue.  well,  I pulled the carb apart and did a real thorough inspection and found tiny little balls of jellied ethanol.  I hate CORN

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Ethanol fuel sucks ass. It does more bad than good and costs alot to make than jus regular ol gas.

[79coyotefrg]

ok  its time for new brakes on old blue SO,  heres the question.

1. get the drilled and slotted land cruiser rotors Marlin sells, ($149 ) requiring me to find some 81-85 wheel hubs ($50 or more) and a set of wheels spacers. ($100 or more)

or
2.  Tacoma brake adapter from FROR. ($99) this uses Tacoma calipers (already have) and Tacoma rotors (already have but they are worn)  Now this option requires a new brake line ($89 from Marlin) but I really need braided steel lines anyway.  the really cool thing is that once done I can pull the rotors off just by pulling the wheels off.

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Number two for ease of brake rotor change.

[79coyotefrg]

I made a poll 

[THK Matt]

Number two for ease of brake rotor change.

x2 only use late model 231mm tundra rotors and calipers with the FROR mounts.

[IronClad]

tacoma setup for sure. its just better over all. You are obviously in muddy conditions and slotted/drilled rotors are going to do nothing but chew your brakes up even faster
