If its not one thing its another! After I put my 4.88's in a week or so ago I noticed that when the clutch was compressed, accelerating,and keeping steady gas there was a knocking noise. So while driving home tonight the knocking got alot worse and the motor felt like it was loosing compression and the noise gradually became louder and all the time. So the motor has around 4000 miles on it or less. What could it be..... Sorry if this doesn't make much sence or isnot spelled right. Its was a long day in the yard and followed be some Crown. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

 

Bummer, I guess a compression test is in order. 4cyl or V6?

 

rebuild from a place with a warranty?

 

It has a 22re motor... the warranty was for 6 monthes. unfortunely I spent the last 2.5 years in Iraq so it's void....

 

Sorry to hear about the motor dude. Definately get a compression test. BTW: Thats a pretty bold statement in your avatar. Not sure I'd sport that sticker on my rig but to each his own I guess.

 

Well, I guess he could get a bumper sticker that said...

"I'd rather be complaining about the problems in our country but I don't want to do anything about them because i believe that i deserve to have everything spoon fed to me..."

but to make that fit on a bumper sticker the font has to be REAL small.


Just my $.02,

Jon

 

SWEEEEETTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! X2 !!!! So I guess that's $.04

 

 

Nice one..

I totally agree with the sticker btw, but I rather he be here killing/deporting violent, scum sucking, illegal aliens we pay for. Thats what I would do..

 

You know, there was a reason the political forum was shut down.......cause its a TOYOTA BOARD. OK, and back on topic here...

Who rebuilt the engine?

 

Nice bumper sticker. Been lookin for that one. Just bought this one (yeah I love bumper stickers)



Still lookin for that terrorist hunting permit one, and the one that has a scope reticle and says Here's My Peace Sign


Anyhoo, back on topic, do the ol wrench on the block and listen to it method... Or do a real compression test, it's up to you...

 

I have the MD Terrorist Hunting permit in the garage. USMCRecon- Oorah from a damned dirty civilian for that sticker.

 

seriously guys, stay on topic. I would like to hear about wahts going on with his truck not talk about some stupid bumper stickers.

I've seen and read all the silly "terrorist killer permit" and like type stickers, and quite frankly im tired of them.

/BACK ON TOPIC

 

What is this, you insert your opposing view on the end and then tell everyone not to discuss the topic again?

To say nothing of the fact that it is undisputed whether terrorists are the enemy and should be killed, I frankly find it to be exceedingly poor form to question someone who has sacrificed and risked his life for two and half years fighting for the US on whether or not his bumper sticker is ok.

I see plenty more offensive and tiresome stickers whose maxims and espoused propoganda TRULY are a threat to America. I think the apathetic and dispassionate can bear the patriotic ones for awhile.

 

ok off the topic of politics and back on the topic of the horrible knocking coming from this guy's 22re. keep your opinions to yourself.

time for a compression test. check oil and coolant make sure they haven't mixed any, though they shouldn't have.

guess thats it, cant really think of anything else, though it is 1am and i just finished a marathon of math homework! yay calculus!

 

Well at least there only 4 holes to test. Here's the test proceedure from the 93 FSM:

Thanks for doing that for us all BTW

 

Here's a great place to find 22re parts, or advice or have work done:

OORAH!

 

Keep the thread on topic or it will get closed. (I think the gang knows this - thus their urging to do so!)

 

I agree

 

Perhaps edit the off topic stuff and just delete the off topic posts all together. As I see it no need to close a thread and punish all for a few.

Sorry to hear of your troubles with the Toy. Keep us posted on progress and let me know if I can help.
