    Timing Cover coolant leak

    So when I pull the timing cover back off... Would you recommend using rtv on both sides along with or instead of the gasket? or what else do you think might work? Thanks

    Timing Cover coolant leak

    Okay it definitely looks like there is coolant coming from the left hand side of the cover.

    Timing Cover coolant leak

    If I wipe away the part where the coolant seems to be leaking from it seems to bleed right back out from the same spot. The spot is on the left side where the cover is against the block, below the where the pipe comes in from the back... I will check that pipe as well though later today.

    Timing Cover coolant leak

    I just put a new engine(22r) in my 87 pickup and because the timing cover on the new engine was more worn than the old engine's timing cover I swapped the two. Now the new engine runs great, but there is coolant leaking from the side (left side if you're facing the motor) of the timing cover...

    Wanted  22r motor in or near VA

    Looking for a 22r motor for a 1987 pickup. I'm in southwest VA, so near there would be optimal, but I'm willing to drive. JP

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    I've decided to just put the old head back on, but I'm having some difficulty getting the timing chain sprocket back on the camshaft. The thing that is confusing me that maybe someone can clear up is this: I have the motor turned to TDC. In this position the dowel on the camshaft and the...

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    I may be interested depending on the price... Because of the knock I'm currently weighing either selling it (telling the buyer about the problems) just to rid myself of the thing or continuing my search for a new engine.

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    I pulled the head to replace the gasket, send it to a machine shop, found out it is cracked.

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    There is no milky-ness under the oil cap. However, I crawled under the truck with it running to try to pinpoint the noise is it making and noticed a lot of coolant dripping from the back of the engine. I couldn't definitively see where it was coming from but it looked to me like it was...

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    Thanks for all of this advice, guys. I am obviously pretty new at this. Where exactly should I listen with the stethescope? I want to make sure I'm looking in the right spots. Thanks

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    If this is rod knock from the coolant leak is it something that the head gasket repair may remedy, or something that is going to blow up the motor?

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    I'm still trying to get my hands on something to push air into the motor, however I have tried the hose thing to locate the knocking type sound.. First off, I am pretty sure I can see oil in the coolant in that I can see a sheen on the coolant in the radiator... As far as the knocking, the...

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    I don't have a stethoscope but I tried to broomhandle thing. I'm not sure if it would be really obvious or not, but I didn't hear too much difference no matter where I could reach on the sides of the block. I noticed the noise is far more prevalent from under the truck. It is barely audible...

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    I'm pretty sure I didn't mess with anything other than what was on the water pump, but when the freezing rain stops I'll check it out just to be sure. If it is the head gasket, I'm kind of debating whether or not to bother replacing it. The truck has this rattle/knocking sound a little bit...

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    Head Gasket So the question is, how bad is it to replace the head gasket on a 22r? I'm working on getting a leak down gauge to thoroughly diagnose.

    22R billowing white smoke, sounds like choke won't go off

    I just bought a 1987 22r and have been trying to iron out its many problems... The engine sounds like the choke stays on even once it warms up. I just fixed a couple other problems (alternator and leaky water pump) and was just getting to the choke issues when I noticed the top radiator hose...
