Oh, i see, you wanted to derail my Diesel conversion thread, and now you will attempt to break my build thread...i'm going to pirate!

 

 

Alright, I guess I'll start a new thread. No one tell Brandon please.

 

i sure as hell won't

 

hahaha... Poor Brandon! lol.

Yeah, it's strange.... the page wont even open at all... that's pretty 'crashededed', eh?

 

Yeah, I think I did a number on it. lol.

 

Last spring i opened my oil pan and cleared out a ton of RTV/Prematex/LiquidGasket from the oil pick-up screen, probably 70% of the screen was clogged. Here is the result (pitting on the pistons is due to a lean condition , i think)

Brown cams



Pitted Piston


Scored Cylinder walls, you can feel them

 

Wow, how many miles were on that motor? I can still see the crosshatches!!!

 

i see your problem: it's a 3.0





but really though... my gawd that engine is beat!

(on a side note, i've been looking at 4bt swaps. pretty neat stuff there)

 

^^^ uh...wow who let you in here?...ha

I think there is about 50k on that block. it has got to be the worse rebuild i have ever seen, and i have seen some pretty ghetto stuff in my life. If you go back thru my thread i point out the other external ghetto rigged stuff.
It really is a a shame, the head gasket marks on the head and block show absolutely no sign of leakage or leading to leakage. I have new heads to put on, but the bottom end being so screwed up, i am afraid it's a time bomb now.

 

Yes i know people don't like the 3.0, but i liked mine(until i could get a diesel), way more power then the 22re, timing belt not chain and did i mention more power.

4bt:
4B3.9, 679 pounds 4BT3.9, 705 pounds 4BTA3.9, 725 pounds better think twice about a mill that heavy

 

but just think of all the torque!!!

 

Torque isn't going to matter if it weighs twice as much as your truck was designed to carry in the front, not to mention making it a rattletrap. I'll stick with a yota greaser putting down a measly 260ftlbs sans rockitchip.

 

haha...

brandon is not allowed to post anything but text on that thread!!!!!!

 

agreed

 

No update really.
Gonna put the 3.0 back together and hope she hold for a few trips.

The 1kd project will not be stifled by this, but it will be a few months after I purchase it before I have the halfcut in my possession. So time is not on my side.

 

if you need help, let me know. i can come up for a weekend to help out
