I think the warm idle issue may be attributed to not having the idle up valve and VSV installed. I’ll get around to it eventually. Swapped in a new ngk coil and its not smelling so rich when I drive it.
Next thing is to swap out the leaky pinion seal on the rear diff- same goes for my 100...
So far I fixed an exhaust leak, replaced coolant temp sensor, swapped iacv, plugged egr vacuum port, messed w timing a lot, adjusted tps (think I did it correctly) may get the allen bolts to adjust while the truck is running.
Theres been a big improvement, but really want a smooth idle.
Finally just fired her up yesterday, seems to be running alright. Probably due for a valve adjustment. Hopefully get the brakes sorted today. Just over a year ago I started this thread…
Threw in a used dual diaphragm booster and 1” master, and a new clutch master. Luckily didn’t need an extra spacer for steering shaft clearance.
Haven’t see anything about the connector compatability, but I soldered the one from the old reservoir onto the new one.
Back on track today.
If anyone reads this in the future has to redo timing leave the water pump installed on the cover.
Also if you are leaving the oil pan on, it would help to apply rtv between the head and the portion of the head gasket that goes between the head and timing cover. If you do...
This is the week of extra work apparently. Went to bolt up the drivelines, and realized I installed the drive flanges backward.
(The larger drive flange goes in front)
She’s gettin real close to driving though!
Thanks for the tip!
Unfortunately, I really did screw things up. Its surprising because I usually triple check everything, and had no probs when I did the timing on my 2UZ.
Anyway, got things taken apart and we’re looking much better now. Thankful these little motors are so easy to work on.
Welp. I think I screwed up with the timing chain install. I believe I lined up the link w the dimple on the cam gear and the crank key on the crank gear. I believe the dimple should have been down. At least from my photo
Will put the crank at tdc tomorrow and see where the cam gear is.
One question I had for anyone who has gone to a forward shift t case is about the shifter hitting the dash in 1st, 3rd, 5th.
Im going to have to cut but wondering if I’ll need to look at a short shift kit or maybe mod the dash somehow. I’ll know when i get the shifter in, but any input is...
Does anyone have any experience w the LCE pro oil pump? I have one that came w the truck. Its an Aisin LCE enhances for more oil pressure and volume. Also have a genuine oil pump. Not sure which to install.
Today was able to make some progress after spending the last few weeks collecting parts. Intake and valve cover are at a metal cleaner nearby.
Crank bolt come off pretty easy.
Motor still had original plastic guides, some parts of which are in the oil pan. The straight guide was broken in...
