This sounds like my next project. You guys rock!

Spot on, thanks for all the info! Upon moving the motor over I discovered the power steering pump housing was cracked in half. So I replaced it with the spare one I had.

Alright, heres an update! I took off all the belts and still heard the knocking/tapping. Then I pulled off the harmonic balancer off and viola the knock is gone! Visually inspecting I didnt see any marks on either side from making contact.. I actually have a spare one but when we put it on there...

Thanks for the input, next time im working on it ill definitely take a closer look at that!

In person its tricky to hear too, to me sounds like the noise definitely coming from the lower end. Thats sounds like a good place to start, Ill give that a go. I guess ive never heard a pulley that bad but It makes sense. thanks!

Hey guys, hoping to get some insight on this project im working on - After doing a headgasket job on this 92 Land Cruiser I have, im discovering 0 compression on cylinder 1 and 35 on cylinder 4. The truck ran fine besides overheating before. When resurfacing the head at a shop they mentioned...

Well a little update for you guys, been driving on E for 90 miles now lol. I guess my gauge is just really far off. Might just live with it? Or is this an easy fix?

I wonder this too. going to test running it empty with a gas can in the back ready.

Not the best pictures, but I'm sunburnt and it hurts to roll under the truck right now lol.

That's what I'm thinking too. But whyyy! Lol
