All good. Everything is buttoned up tonight. Only took a total of maybe 6 hours on the whole job. That ˟˟˟˟ was heavy with the intake. Had to stop and wait for my brother to get off work lend a hand.

Well I started it up this morning and it started spraying out of the left side of the head. Didn't think I left anything uncleaned.. WTF

Warped block or head maybe?

Runner is back on the road! I have no power though! HMMMM,, Been messing with the timing a little.

Back together now. No leaks! BUT.. I was having a problem with having no power at all. Wouldn't rev above 1,000 rpms under any load!. Started to look at the timing. Bought a timing light as well. THEN the connector on plug #1 pulled of the boot and ripped off the wire. So now I need to buy a set of wires! GRRR. Still not driving after 3 months.. Getting tired of looking at it. Anybody have a step by step for timing this sucker?!

Still not running. Can't wait to be not broke. IN the bank or in the Toyota..

Whats up with it?

Finally found the straight answer for timing. Have a couple of days off coming up. Set to 12 degrees BTDC. Install distributor. With rotor straight up. Jump TE-1 and E-1. then adjust to 5 degrees BTDC.

Hope my engine timing isn't off! Had it lined up before the hg blew!

Running good. Has more power than the last time I check it out. Idle around 900-1,000. Didn't see a drop in idle speed when I jumped the T-E connectors.. Hmm

86bedlesstoy

Ignition is spot on but there is coolant leaking out the back of the head now! WTF.

86bedlesstoy

Serious leak. Can't see well enough to find where it is really leaking. Looks like back of head though. SHIIIIT.. New engine from 22reperformance.com would be nice.

There is a cover to head coolant passage on the back of the head. 5 bolts. I have seen the bolts loose or evem missing. I would check that before you overthink it lol. If anything is loose take it off clean it and RTV that sucker and bolt 'er back on.

Take the head back off?

Z's Confederate Toy
