Diamond in a turd?

 

 

But seriously dude, a 5vz swap would be trick in that thing..

Even just a 3rz

 

I'm going to log onto your youtube account!

 

Hah, I was thinking the same thing

 

oh lol thats my dad and step mom's account.. my username is, of course, algranger on youtube

 

I would have the crank machined then buy a good used #4 rod and have it machined to match. You will have to do the block too so you might as well pull it. The block has to be trued up. You could get away with the bottom end for now but I know people that regret it. The head rebuild is expensive compared to the bottom end but way worth the money. Don't forget to get NEW head bolts as the old ones are trash now. TTY Torque To Yield. That means they stretch when you tourqe them down.

Learn from my mistakes. here. good luck that oil pressure spring may have caused more damage than you know just yet.

 

ive actually decided not to use this motor for the cost of getting the crank and rod machined i could buy an older 2wd with a good 22r like this one http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/916620189.html
Im gonna try and piece together a good motor with what i have i'm using the 85 22r i have with bent valves and dented pistons

 

Heres how ya make a redneck cherry picker using:
an old fence
an extra truck
some ratchet straps (industrial grade)
1-throw the fence/gate on the trucks


2- attach some ratchet straps and hoist the engine


3- you will want to add some 2x4s so you can reload the reach on the straps


4-hoist the engine jus high enough to get in the truck and drop it on in there.. be sure to get it down nice and secure before transportation


anyways enough of that heres the update on the truck
got the motor out here is a main crank bearing worn down to copper




the crank.. definitely needs replacing its scratched all to hell (for those of you that dont know, it should be a polished mirror finish)


got the motors all disassembled and reaady to go to the machine shop


once the motor is back and in i will start moddin it up soon to come is a lift and lockers

 

fir needles should help keep down that valve chatter

 

only the best sound buffer in town!

 

holy crap. nice engine hoist.

 

X2 on the engine hoist!!

 

alright ive been doin a little work its almost ready to drive, i had a little setback tonight dropped the timing chain in the lower end while i was installing the head then tore the brand new gaskets pulling the timing cover back off
anyways heres the head before and after


the head on the way to the shop


tonight when i brought it back


all new valves




nice and clean


got the bottom end in


welded the diff

i also scored on a set of chev. rear leafs for $40 so the lift will be on soon updates whenever...

 

Sweeeet dude...Congrats on the progress!!

 

thanks man im pretty stoked cant wait to drive it.. im kickin my ass for tearing those gaskets but oh well im changin this ladies oil for 20 bucks tomorrow i can pick up some more

 

Sweet...can't wait til its done. Then we can go wheeling

 

yep im so excited.. ive never wheeled a locked truck believe it or not usually flexing out means you dont go any farther. ill know the feeling soon tho

 

nice work al, you will love having that diff welded, offroad its a whole new beast.

 

Quick tip on the crank shaft bolt. Get a breaker bar long enough to rest on the frame rail, and then crank the motor. lol it works.

Nice work Al!
