Now you know Logan and I are.... PM's, texts, different threads, emails. Ahahaha.

 

hahahaha

yeah i know, and i have to try to piece things together.

 

WOW.

Looking good.
You'll have it running by the end of April.
(My prediction)

 

my brother, I have succeeded in reinstalling my oil pan. It is a royal pain. The engine mount removal and jack up method works. Best of luck to you.

 

thanks Phil. actually i hope you are wrong. i would like it to be much sooner than that.here's hoping.

YIKES...not there yet. I'm hoping i don't have to.that will be my next "project"......my diff moved alot the other day, besides it's little nose dive, so i'm hoping that it can do that again, but this time, when i want it to do it.

 

which way did the thrust washers face? Out or in.

Sorry if I put this thread in the wrong place.

 

what does thrust washers have to do with a head gasket/timing chain job?

 

page 118 of the HAYNES....

"rotate the thrust washer into position .....with the grooves facing out".....no clue what that means but maybe it helped.


otherwise, wasssssuuuuupppp??? everyone. don't know if i''m gonna do anything or not today...we will see, it's still early.

 

am I missing something here? which section is that in, all I have is the Electronic FSM lol

 

my haynes.......

i had it shrunk down an put on the head of a pin...

 

nono the thrust washer, All I am thinking of is the internal crankshaft thrust washers lol. You didn't pull the motor and not tell me did you????? lmao

 

nope. not yet at least.

 

i didnt read all of your progress prob go back threw it later on but one way to help clean your engine after your done to make sure all the nasty is out is get extra oil enough for 2 oil changes and put 2 qaurts or so of diesel fuel in with your oil ( dont over fill the engine though) run tell reaches operating temp then drain it will keep the engine clean and help remove sludge build up i do that to my truck i add diesel fuel to the oil get her warmed then drain it she has been very clean and runinng great i also did it to my 79 chevy mud truck with 383 stroker you"d be amazed at the results

 

thanks....i've read about running a quart of tranny fluid along with oil

 

hey all kidding aside, I looked back at the head when you put it on, did you grease up the cam and tops of valves and pcak the oil pump with it when you reassembled it?

 

yes, yes, and yes.....

 

hmmmm ive herd of that to but never done it i think diesel fuel is a better cleaner and still has sum lube to it ha my gramps use to clean parts with it instead of solivent hmmm maybe should check out the msds sheet on diesel he he oh well good luck keep after im proud of ya jumping in there

 

been there done that with trans fluid.

Good I couldn't tell if there was grease on it from the photo of the head installed.

 

Hey ya 92 just to let you know I did some back road/highway/normal type road driving today and not having the front swaybar in did not hurt at all. In fact it rode a bit smoother than before. Now the only thing I have not done today was a hard braking down hill turn...but then again it's a 92 pickup not a 78 280Z so the cornering that I'm doing isn't considering cornering...

 

sounds good.

didn't really do much today...some painting of some stuff, not much really.
