Re: '83 T4WD SR5 wagon added to wrecking yard in Portland, OR on 5/10/2022

It's been picked somewhat. The driver window regulator, inclinometer, and some various parts from the engine bay were gone.

Interesting, the engine has been rebuit. I'd wager at around 200k miles and there are 400k on the odo. It has the oldest alternator I've seen for a while.

Re: 3A engines

I'd really like an engine but i'm curious how much the shipping from MI to OR would be. It's quite a bit of hassle too.

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

So that was likely the sound coming from the back of the engine. Makes sense. So i'll likely look at over boring it and getting all the parts as i doubt i can find a spare engine. What's involved in that? Get the block machined, get the appropriately sized pistons and rings, anything else? It's like...

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

There's slop in cylinder 4 at the top of compression. No slop at the bottom.

Re: PNW Meet Up

Alright. It sounds like august/september might be a decent time to do this? If everyone can give specific months that work best. The PNW is pretty tercel friendly until November/December so we have until then. I'm game for whatever. I'm busy the last week in July and August but I can work with most ...

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

My main concern about putting it all back together is that the knock sounded pretty bad. It didn't sound like a head gasket to me but i could absolutely be wrong. I'm curious if I should pull the whole engine and start over. I can't really be sure. It turns over just fine by hand, I can't feel anyth...

Alright, got the head off.

I can't spot anywhere super obvious where the gasket would have failed. The cylinder walls all look and feel pretty great. There is a ton of carbon in 1 & 4 though.

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

And the results! These plugs are less then 3 months old. I also cleaned all the area around the plug ports when I ran the engine with the valve cover off a week or so ago, so the area around the plugs should be decently clean. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ea8VnyJPBkJCspYG9 Each cylinder has 3 images: s...

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

I did a compression test not even a week ago. Cylinder 1 - 130psi, cylinders 2-4 were 150psi. There was carbon on cylinders 1 and 4's plugs. Cylinder 1 was quite fouled with carbon while cylinder 4 had oil on the threads. cylinders 2/3 have no fouling or oil on the plugs. I'll do another compression...

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

Welp, it continued. I swapped out the mechanical fuel pump last week and the knock seemed to have went away. Well, yesterday I was driving out east through Portland and suddenly the engine changed sounds. I pulled off the interstate to check the oil and it was bone dry. That's pretty odd because I c...

PNW Meet Up

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to gauge interest for another PNW meet up. I can get myself and a buddy of mine to show up, so that's two, but lets see how many we can get going.

The last meet up i went to was up east of seattle with synth and peter, which was a blast. I'd love to do it again.
