Hey everyone! It's been awhile since i've posted on here. Been pretty busy getting the s2000 ready for the upcoming track season, but I posted my non-running truck up about 30 pages back... This is it..
I've finally had a bit of time to source out some problems to get it running. It ended up being corroded wires in a connection under the passenger seat that goes to the fuel pump. fixed that, replaced the pump and filter... and now it runs!!
Just had a few questions/concerns:
- The engine sounds pretty loud (whether it's piston slap or valve train, or even the exhaust/header set up on it). I've read places it's somewhat normal... yeah?
Also... Cold start it smokes quite a bit... temperature outside was about high 30's... once i let it run for about 20-30 minutes it seems to calm down a bit...Sinus' are bad at the moment so I can't really smell what it smells like.
Car has about 1/4 tank of old (at least 1 year old fuel) in it... i've also added about a 1/4 tank of 92 oct v-power i had in a racing jug. New oil change, didn't see anything in the oil.
It has sat for over a year until i got it running. It's a new head.. PO was worried the block was cracked or something, but I haven't pulled it apart to inspect... just got it running.
Other questions to all you guys... below i've posted a couple youtube videos one of cold start and one after running... do you hear or see anything wrong?? I'm pretty new to these trucks so i'm not sure what's normal and what's not...
any input would be awesome!!

Thanks ahead for any input/help!

Hey Everybody! I just finished my rebuild (
) and figured i would share some photos!
Here she is before the blown head gasket that caused a full rebuild-->
Random mud trip just before that^^
Here it is the day it blew the head gasket (with my friends Chevy)
First day back on the road after the build (Not washed yet lol)
Believe it or not, the engine is so much more clean than before. Just look at the brake booster lol
And I stand corrected.. This is what caused the rebuild.. The head gasket lead me to find these
(how long have tose been in the oil pan?!) ANswer:: long enough to kill the crank...
