Changing the head gasket is not a big deal to me. I just don't have time to mess with it and the body has quite a bit of rust. But, now I have a local guy who says he's interested in the entire car. He's supposed to let me know in the next few days. Thanks,

Parting out 83 tercel sr5 4wd wagon

I have an 83 tercel 4wd wagon that I've decided to part out. The engine has approximately 80k on it. The car ran fine until one day it started spark knocking on cylinder 3 and I came to conclusion that the engine needs a head gasket. The car has many newer parts such as the radiator, alternator ...

Cylinder 1 was 160psi
Cylinder 2 was 180psi
Cylinder 3 was 40psi
Cylinder 4 was 60psi

I have a thought that carbon build up on 1 and 2 was reason for the ...

Well, I have narrowed it down to cylinder #3. I can pull the plug wire on #3 and it quits detonating, but when I hook it back up, it does it again. I have changed the plugs and wires with no luck. If anyone has had a similar problem and knows what it could be please let me know. I'm checking the ...

spark knocking anytime you give the car gas and no power.

I have an 83 toyota tercel wagon 4wd that for some reason just started spark knocking really, really bad. This even happens when I rev it up at idle. I have checked the timing and it's within specs. If you try to take off it has no power and it seems like you're trying to take off in 3rd gear. If ...

Alternator upgrade?

Just wondering if there is a higher amp alternator available for my 83 tercel wagon. That is a direct bolt on. It has the external voltage regulator.

I no longer need the door handle. I just picked one up at a salvage yard for $5.00. They had just received the car. Thanks everyone.

I had sent you an email right after I received your post. Didn't you get it? I had asked about shipping to 28787 in the email? No, your price is fine. How about letting me know about shipping. Thank you very much,
