Thanks! Everything is leaking but it runs.
Whistle was exhaust leak from manifold gasket area so easy fix. Power steering pump was hemorrhaging so I got a rebuilt one at Napa. Some coolant was...
The wifey took it on the highway after we bled the brakes again and the temps seem to be going down as the pistons set. Still have the turbo whistle (?) and the idle is bumped to help the starting...
Great news. Fired her up and took her for a spin. She drives pretty smooth, although I had to turn up the idle a bit to get her going at first and the temperature is still hovering in the middle....
Patched the radiator and it held. Turned out to be brass which I was not expecting. Now the issue is that it is difficult to start but once it gets going it seems to run fine. Checked the vacuum...
Great point! I will try that as soon as I patch the radiator leak.
I eliminated a corner fitting for the radiator hose in hopes that it would improve the coolant flow and was testing it out but then I must have bent the metal nipple (for small hose to rad cap) and...
Realized I was still using the coil from the old engine, so swapped that out as well as the timing sensor and things were depressingly about the same.
Heard a hissing noise from the AC Idle up...
Back to square one. Idle uneven, cranking the distributor cap to max, and throwing code 6 (RPM signal) and 10 (Starter signal) again. I think it might be the ground in this picture which I cleaned up...
Thanks much. This solved the issue and cleared the codes by sanding the contact points and using the new cables from the auto parts store. The engine ground strap was 24" and a little too close to...
Thanks. Took a couple days off because crazy stuff was happening. The issue may be all the fun colors that we painted the engine to protect it from the salt air and looks like there is some sanding...
Sorry to hear about that. I used some silicone tubing for the other valve cover hose that crumbled and is NLA as well. Not a permanent fix because I know the fumes will melt it, but I just wanted to...
Not sure if I am reading the codes correctly but according to my manual five blinks is the o2 sensor. How did you get the number 51?
Also fingers crossed that you get the PCV hose. I got one last...
One thing I neglected to take a photo of is the engine ground strap, so I do not remember where that goes exactly. Right now it is hooked up to the driver side engine mount but there is a possibility...
Thanks very much for this post. I am having issues with a fresh engine swap and was like "nah it cant be the new TPS" but maybe it is!
As the title says I just put in a reman engine from another 86 that I got back from the builders a year ago. We were hoping for the no-problemo start up but looks like the gremlins had other ideas
...
Thanks. Did not pick it up yet but hopefully the correct one is waiting at the po box. Also affordable OEM head gaskets are getting difficult to find. The rebuilder said a Felpro has had a pretty...
Welcome brothers and sisters. May your SADS last another 100k.
Edit:
Toytoapartsdeal still has the pcv hose but the other one is sold out again.
Some vent hoses finally popped up online so I grabbed them. Not cheap but will save me the time of trying to mad max it. Wondering if maybe I should have bought 2 of each. Engine is almost back from...
It seems 12262-73010 and 12261-73021 have been discontinued. My Pcv hose broke apart while disconnecting. What would be the next best option?
I am going through the top end preparing for an...
Thanks. I guess I am feeling a little bit special this week. Hopefully my lost searching skills will turn up shortly.
Ok about ready to put this sucker back in but realized that the gasket 22271-73011 is discontinued and not in stock anywhere that I can find. Any recommendations?
What has two thumbs and loves you guys for being so awesome?
This dude. This dude right here.:thmbup::thmbup:
Any recommendations for how to deal with rusted coolant tubes? Slide something over and braze it in maybe?

Very strange placement indeed. Can't find a diagram that shows how it's wired in, but as long as I can disconnect it and nothing bad will happen I'm sure installing a fresh round of modern speakers...
Thanks for re posting this video. I saw it a while back and lost track of it as well.
Thank you. I never would have guessed speaker. Obviously it's powered since there are wires going to it. Don't think it works anyway so will take it out and post some photos when we get the van back...
Replacing the radio and can't find a wiring diagram that shows an amplifier. Called the Crutchfield tech and they don't show any of the models as having an amp either. They had remote power for a...
Since it's the timing gear that seems to be giving people the most problems, I'm wondering if it would work to buy just an OEM timing gear and then use the A/M stuff from one of the kits. That way it...
