I'm closer than Kat; are you ever in S. MD?

 

Hey, she's in VA Beach isn't she? Well, I live in Chesapeake, VA not in South MD where Chesapeake Bay is.
Dang! this is a becoming a thread hijack!

 

ok, my 22re ran fine without all of it - i will put it on in a minute -

4x4- my husband would probably help you out if you want...

 

Yeah sure why not. What kind of beer he drinks? Is he available tomorrow morning? Hope it doesn't rain and don't forget the timing light.

 

you guys are the bomb! my truck runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



Good advice - put truck back together ALL THE WAY then start

my remote start even works still!

WOOOOHOOOOOO

Thanks guys

So the idle came right up to 1000 - timing stayed at 10 and then i toned the idle back to 750 with the idle adjust on the TB



Its not as deep as I was hoping for but hey, I cant wait to drive it! I have the DS at the machine shop getting new ujoints - pick it up tomorrow!~

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL YOU GUYS

 

Kat, tell me, how long did you have that twisted, very nervous gut feeling when you tried to fire it up the first time?

 

well, i felt great until i had to give up for the first day(so about an hour of messing with it) and then it started sinking in that maybe i didnt do something right...

 

Wow, for me the closer I got to being done the more upset my stomach became. I was soooooo horribly worried that I missed something or forgot something and was going to FUBAR something. I probably quadruple checked EVERYTHING.

By the time I hit the key I was on the verge of puking. When she fired up with less than 1/4 second of cranking, faster than she ever used to fire up, the adrenaline and endorphans hit and I was like OMGWEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ANDISAWTHISGANGSTAANDWASLIKEYOMOTHAF***AWEEEEEEEE-EEEEEE!!! wHEN YOU'RE A KID AND YA WANNA GO WEEEE...." LMAO!

ok no more mt dew for me after 11pm! lol

 

Good deal! I know when mine started and kept running my stomach must have jumped 10 feet in the air I was so relieved.

 

Ittttttt'ssssssssss AAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEE!!!
BWAAAAA-HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA-HHHHHHHHAAAA-HHHHAAAAAAAA-HAAAA!!!




OK, so get a vid of it already!!!!!

 

Was that from that crazy squirrel Flash animation?!?

 

lmao! Yes! Im glad Im not the only one who has seen that!

 

Hey great job Lady!! Did you get to hear it with the headers open? Great to hear ya got it going. Have sure enjoyed you sharing this especially with all y'all have been through. Always did like a good Marine!

So they hot tanked your block, decked and punched the block, and changed the pistons on the conrods. Which was 190?

Did you get the internals balanced?

I bought a used block with a bent con rod and have just completed tearing it apart. I just need to know what I need to have done to the block...hehe

And from my unprofessional eye, everything looked BRAND NEW on this block I tore down with only 118k miles.

 

I did not have to have the deck blocked as it was within spec.
So it was $150 for the wrist pin work and the cleaning/boring the block.

I did not have it balanced as my machine shop felt that the cost to performance ratio would not be practical.

Glad to hear it all looked new, that should be a good building block - I would still use all new parts if it were me just for your own knowledge and satisfaction.

 

so how is your truck running now? Fun I hope!

 

I am here to post in this important thread and to subscribe to it. Wow, lots of good info here for my rebuilding.

 

Hey, someone brought my thread back! YAY

Yes the truck now has 4500 miles on the rebuild and is running great - I just have a leak in the a/c or i would be driving it everyday --

I will post my feelings on the power difference this weekend as I have a 94 4runner beiong delivered - payed a whopping $1g for it... needs a lil head work...

 

Katy, you're a glutton for punishment, ain'tcha? ;-)

 

Very awesome thread. Great job! I'm still baffled how you got that transmission to fit in the oven though.

I would really love to see a video of it to see and hear it!
