Ok i have ben swapping out head gasket today (my first on a t4) petros method. I am now at the section where petros suggests adding holes to gasket and i notice that the old gasket has a hole at almost all the coolant ports (innermost next to combustion chambers). The new gasket doesn't have as many...

Thanks for all the feedback i will put it on the list. My daily driver needs a head gasket and the one i sold a couple of months ago she overheated and it needs a head gasket to. I will follow petros write up when i do both gaskets then i will get to the tranny job. As always thankyou

Extre set of heads is a joke obviously. By the way This car is going up for sale after i fix it
it's a solid rust free runner.

:l Thanks for the (input) no pun intended. The trannys got to come out either way so i will just swap it all out. The sound is best decribed as a loud tick in time with the rotation of input shaft not a grinding or whirling noise if i didn't know better i would say it sounds like a lifter tick. Perh...

Rotational noise coming from bellhousing area stops when I depress the clutch pedal
previous owner stated the noise started after she had the clutch done.
the car has been driven roughly seven thousand miles with this noise throw out bearing or possible other problem any advice is appreciated.

Thanks getting ready to do my first rebuild and have an extra carb for a stick shift however its going on an auto. Always so helpful in this forum i need to make a donation to keep it going.

The local auto parts store has different part numbers for an auto vs stick carb they look idenitcal.

Got the car home no problem turns out that there is a complete tranny in it with no 5th gear and all the extra parts posted earlier. Put a set of jumpers on it and it fired right up runs great. Its to bad i am so far away from most of the people on this forum the extra tranny stuff is available to a...

Thanks i thought so the car has a bad tranny the guy pulled gear box left bellhousing with front dif in there is trany parts all over his garage three bellhousings with difs two gear boxes etc.200 bucks for complete car and lots of tranny stuff some good some bad . It will be towed around 2 miles ma...

Ok i found another one for parts this time. The guy i got it from thinks the whole front assembly will fall off if i tow it withought the cv joints in the car HE IS WRONG RIGHT

I have to pick it up 2.5 hrs each way. I think i will rebuild the engine with bad rings and keep it as an extra. That way i can still flip this t4 and maby make enough cash to build the extre engine.

Still looking for a long block anyone ever hear of rising sun engines in chico ca. There a japanese engine importer. They said there no longer importing 3ac engines to old none left to import. However they can get one from a large pool of wrecking yards. They bench test all engines (start and bring ...

I do have a factory service manual for a 83 t4 it will walk me through the prosess i guess. I have exhausted all other avenues tried to find a used japanese import but they tell me that they don't import that engine anymore. What should i expect to spend on miscellaneous stuff for the job and should...

Did the compression check today 50/60/60/80 front to back all went to around 100 after I put a little oil in chambers. Its a shame the car is 100% complete and everything still works.To good to make a parts car.The factory sunroof has no rust like my other sr5 what i should do is swap the motor from...

The car is in great shape i now own 3 t4 wagons i may just sell one of the others and keep this one if i can resolve the smoke issue. My daily driver has a new motor but the rest is falling apart. Perhaps i will swap out the motor. I will try your tips asap. Thanks for the tips on how to isolate wha...
