well its beefed up but its not a problem for me because I know 3 smog stations that will pass any car any condition for 100 bucks. as a matter of fact I dont have to take the truck just my paper work. pretty cool hu?

 

Lol that's tight.

 

hey well i did what you guys told me I WENT on ebay and I saw his rating and read the comments ppl left he has a 110 perscent and ppl say its a real good price with good quality parts and will be buying again,

 

So then your getting this from engnbldr??? I'm confused.

 

Im guessing hes talking bout the Jap guy.. Even though engnbldr has an ebay store too.. Good luck on your rebuild Ill be doing the same thing with my 3.0 Im going with Engnbldr's stuff though..

 

and that's a good thing too. you searched and you found wht you needed and the reputation you need to show that it's a good product.

good job, you did your research so likewise please post your progress. i'm still in the beginning stages of mine and i've never done any of this before.

 

Ok i went to pick up what I needed Ok ready this is what I bought I bought brand new complete head with camshaft, new rocker arm, new head bolts, head gasket kit, timing kit, timing cover gasket. I got all of this for 496 dollars. Isnt that good or what? Another thins I was reading in the book on how to adjust the valves. ok well it says "Check that the rocker arms on the No 1. cylinder are loose and the rockers on No.4 are tight. Now on the rocker arms which ones would pertain to cylinder 1? Ive labeled on this picture 1-8 can you guys tell me which rocker arms would be for cylinder 1 and for cylinder 4?

 

Do not try to adjust the valves before you install the head, can't be done. and from front to back. Your 1 is intake on one, your 2 is intake on two, Your 3 is intake on three and your 4 is intake on four. 5 is exhaust on one, 6 is exhaust on two, 7 is exhaust on three and 8 is exhaust on 4.

Make sense?

 

oh ok yes it makes sense. so that would mean when im at TDC number 1 should be loose . and number 4 and 8 should be tight right?

 

Yep...You wan to set the valves on 1,5,3,7 then turn the crank and set 2,6,4,8.

 

LUMPY, man you schmart!

 

I don't know about all that...Some things I just remember. I did mine less than a year ago so I still remember a little bit of it. Good thing you 2 are doing yours now if it was much later I would not be much help at all. Memory fading quickly.

 

lumpy im not quite sure but is it 1,3,5,7? cause on the book it says to do 1,2,5,7

 

Follow the book...Like I said memory is fading it's been almost 8 months... My thinking was if cylinder 1 is all closed then 3 would be as well so set those two. Then cylinder 2 and 4 would be closed. But ya my mistake follow the book when setting them.

I do recall that you want just a wee bit of drag on the feeler gauge...not too much though.

 

So did you get the head from engbilder off ebay or somewhere else....kinda hard to follow..........

 

Oh I got the head from somewhere Else. Its here near my house, Yea it looks pretty good its japan made.
Ok guys I ve taken everything apart already I will post pictures on here to show you what it looks like tommorrow its cause I ran out of daylight so by tomorrow i will be postin pics up ok,.also ony question. ok on the Timing Cover you know the place where the crankshaft goes? ok I unscrewed the 3 bolts and pulled it apart then i put it back will this of had affected anything?cause inside it looked weird like a little gear so im not sure if i can just put it back any way or is there a specific way it goes back it? im gonna take a picture of what Im talking about so i can be more clear, ok well talk to you guys later k,

 

You are either referring to the oil pump or the crank gear? I'm not sure which.

 

oh ok i just realized that its the oil pump i was talking about well i took it off the timing cover is there a certain way that this goes back in? or it doesnt matter how it goes in as long as it sits in smoothly ?

 

also what is that big bolt thats in the top ofthe oil pump for? and does any one know how to install this the proper way?

 

I have not messed with them at all (yet). You do wan to make sure the timing marks are in the correct position, I think the cover only goes on one way. I'm assuming it just goes on, I don't think the inner gear matters. What you do want to do with this is pack it with Petroleum jelly to prime it. If not you will not get any oil pressure. I'm not sure what else to use but I have read in more than one post that's what they have used.
I think the big bolt maybe to help prime the pump. I don't rightly know though.
