@NateMob i can whip something up for ya.

 

[Outsane]

Could you make a flush or at least clean looking cover for the 3rd row seatbelt holes?

Any one else want to cover up their seat belt mount holes? I'll have them on my etsy page.

@NateMob pm me your address and ill mail you a pair.

Another trip to carrizo plains

 

[Outsane]

I made some custom tire valve caps.

When the little one asks to go camping, you go camping. Even if its raining.

 

[Outsane]

Lots if terrible noises coming fron the engine on the way home. Barely made it up the last hill into the driveway. Contemplating options

Your bank account will decide for you.

Was it over heating?
How many miles on the engine?
Was there oil on the dipstick when you got home?
What oil filter is currently installed?
Can you do a compression or leak down test?
Pull an oil sample and send to Blackstone.
Drop the lower oil pan and take a look.

How would you describe the sounds and the degradation of performance?

Your bank account will decide for you.

Was it over heating? 204.8 f for moments and back to 203f.
How many miles on the engine? 256k
Was there oil on the dipstick when you got home? I'll have to check it was late.
What oil filter is currently installed? Toyota filter.
Can you do a compression or leak down test? I could do a compression test.
Pull an oil sample and send to Blackstone.
Drop the lower oil pan and take a look.

How would you describe the sounds and the degradation of performance? Clanking noise got worse and worse on the 1 Hour trip home. Full throttle up the hill to the house at 10 mph. Its been making noises on decel and partial throttle for years.

What's the oil pressure at?
Start it up and make a viedo for us

 

[Outsane]

So painful...

 

[ccslider]

So painful...

Don't worry just yet. Go through the steps.

Oil pressure????

 

[Outsane]

I am the one who knocks

 

[Outsane]

Low oil pressure, but that has been typical on this motor

 

[Outsane]

Going to breakfast, then some diagnosis. Compression test
Maybe pull valve cover
Maybe look for chunks in the oil

That is pretty low, but at least they are all close to each other. #5 is is about 28% or so lower, either a valve issue or the ringlands.
I'd probably drain the oil into something clean and inspect for shavings.
Also wouldn't hurt to pull the valve cover and inspect the valve train, turn the engine over by hand and check the valve clearances and make sure its not holding the valve open.
Did you crank the engine for the same amount of times for each cylinder?
Was the engine cold?

That's kinda a weird sound, does it change with RPM? Usually a knock is louder.

 

[Outsane]

Engine was cold, i peeled the lip on the oil filter.

With these shavings and low compression, its time for another motor. Used or rebuilt have to see if I can find a motor and how much for a rebuild, if the block and head are good.

 

[ccslider]

Good work. That's sad to see. You could probably rebuild yours for less than buying a used one and then rebuilding it. I'd start by pulling it.

I think it's easier to pull the motor, trans and transfer case as one.

 

[Outsane]

That was the next question

 

[LC4LIFE]

Sorry for your loss...but on the upside, your PM'ing for the next 20yrs
