Hello WT look at what I found in my oil pan

[shawnb]

 
I guess I waited a little long to fix the timming chain.

[shawnb]

Now how do I get this off! FSM says to remove the six bolts and them smack it with a rubber mallet. It also said nothing about the AC  or power steering.

[Fireimp141]

Wow you grinded the outa whatever that was, prolly the timing chain if its in there... time for a rebuild

[kyle_22r]

did you remember the hidden bolt under the valve cover at the front of the head?

also i think you have to remove the water pump, since some of those bolts are pretty long...

[RUGER]

the timeing chain defffently had fun with something. i would pull the timing chain cover and see what the damage is.

looks like part of a guide in there. get metal ones.

happy trails
rich *ruger* high tower

Have no fear kids Shawn and I already talked about this today and Ill be going over there when I wake up.  And yes Id say you waited way too long Shawn!  I mentioned the rattle to you how long ago?  But whats important is that its getting fixed now.

[Duffil]

kyle is right. there is a 6mm bolt under the distributor gear in the rocker area.  wasted guides is nothing new if you've got the 85-95
short deck motor anyway...they're plastic...

never fear , Whitetrash is here, or well there, aaaaaaaaaaaa   anyway he's on the JOB 

uh shamb  didnt that chain smacking the crap outa everything make a little bitty noise??

[shawnb]

Ya it's been a little lound for a while. The chain ate into the cover a little but it's not bad. He found two water pump bolts and the top bolt under the timming chain. Neither of these's were in the 85 fsm. I think I was just to tire and nervious about having my motor apart for the first time.

[79coyotefrg]

i know how it is,  you get going and you want to get it apart and you bone tired and loose consciousness 

[shawnb]

yhep too much to do and not enough motivation. I know that once I get it done it's just going to sit there calling for me to take it wheeling and I find it hard to make the time to use it. I've thought about selling it but she's kinda family now.

[MikeToyota93]

I dont no much but that doesnt look good 

[79coyotefrg]

me > < shamb ,  dude  dont even think like that,  get a $50 junkyard motor and run it till you can build it right, like i did,  didnt go to a junkyard, just pulled the one out of my celica  God its pathetic

[shawnb]

I started putting the puzzle back together last night. I have the valve cover,oil pan and ac on now. I haven't done the rest because I'm trying to remove a bolt I found broken off on the exhaust.
WT do you remember where we put thoese two water pump bolts??

[WHITE_TRASH]

I put them on the bumper along with the oil pump bolt.  You might have bumped them down by the winch cable.
