Frankly, I’m opening it up to see where I am with it. I’ve been having issues with low power and excessive black smoke. I’ve had the fuel pump and injectors rebuilt, adjusted the valves, and checked about everything else I could. Recently, I had a dramatic decrease in my already low power...

The engine comes out tomorrow.

Today’s photo:

Radiator and AC coolers are out. Working on the many pieces of wiring and hoses connected to the engine. I’m taking photos of every screw and every hose I remove - the idea being that I will just follow my photos in reverse as I reassemble. Good thing too - the engine bay is already starting...
