So 141...
It wasn't it's first dance,first thing i found which lowered my expectations...
Cork gaskets on the valve covers and pan
Heads are decent only one small crack on one cylinder,"A" precups
Pistons marked std
Rods had marks on them not the way it should be done when you take on apart for the first time.They had dots punched into the bottom of the cap instead of matching numbers on the same side of rad and cap.
Number 5 has a bad score that they said good enough and tossed in new parts.The cylinders were honed without cross hatching the marks are parallel with the deck.
I popped out number 5 piston to check it out better an it must of ingested something in it's past life, bearings are std but they nicked the crank on the journal which put a grove in the bearing,i am sure there will be more.
2 web cracks and one head bolt hole crack very front bolt on the outside of the head at cyl 1.Cracked to the outside of the block.
So not a lot of parts to feel good about.
I have one more swing left
I have a 94 crewcab that i got from a yard cleanup,5 speed 4x4 low milage for the year work truck.It's been sitting for a long time.a PO hauled it from Northern Alberta to Haines Junction for some reason probably not the body.
The guys yard it came out of was trying to get it to run without any luck,at the time i advised him to put a mechanical pump on it as it was a 5 speed.Being a 94 the injection pump is year specific that seemed the way to go with unknown issues.They never had any luck.Somehow a buddy of mine was asked to change the timing chain in it which he never did before the owner died.
It's got clean oil in it,so today i will investigate it and see if it's worth pulling.Wish i had a compression guage that was accurate then would use it to see how healthy it was.No chance of it running without a pump change as the truck is too cannibalized to try to run it in place.Steering column has been removed and who knows what else.
PMD is still on the pump so my guess is that was the reason it would not run.
Staring down the hole of the outhouse where i just dropped a $50
Trying to decide if i toss another $50 in there if it will be worth my time to jump in and get them.
Have a great Sunday everyone
