He only wants 350 for it. Last edited by teal9550; 10/01/09 06:06 AM.

TOASTY Trail Leader older v6's had hydraulic lifters that have small oil passages and if they get sticky one might flatten every now and then especially on cold mornings. I think i've known 3 trucks that did this, the bigger lifters came in '98 i think. For the price if the truck is otherwise in good condition buy it and put a motor in it or do a rebuild. 1999 Montero SAS'd on Kings and stuff 1998 Montero trying to get a V8 Swapped Re: 92 montero intermittent knock [Re: TOASTY] #965392 09/28/09 06:27 AM Joined: May 2009 Posts: 435 South Africa 4ePikanini Mudrunner This is piston slap before my rebuild http://img531.imageshack.us/img531/635/10059557531433hj5.flv and this is after my rebuild http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWWYne0IUAU Karma's Law - For every action there is a multiplied reaction! 93 Pajero GLS 3.0 V6 LWB - SOLD 2001 Gen3 Di-D LWB - SOLD 2005 Touareg R5 2.5 TDi Re: 92 montero intermittent knock [Re: 4ePikanini] #965393 10/01/09 04:35 AM Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 36 utah T teal9550 OP Getting the Wheeling Fever ok so i test drove this montero today the knock comes at about 1000rpm then goes away its seems to run fine but it has the oil light on under 1000 rpm. the idle seems to move around as well, is there an IAC valve on these. the guy said is blew a head gasket and they replaced it. there is no water in the oil. i notice that the lower pulley seems to be moving around a little so maybe the knock is comming from that. Any thoughts?

Theres no guarantee the knock will stop either. If the price were right, I would consider it. EDIT- Just saw the price... I think I would grab it. Its worth that in parts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> The lower pulley moving around like that may be the balancer getting ready to fly. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Last edited by JAgnew8; 10/01/09 05:16 AM. 88 Raider- sitting on a full size Chevy frame with 35.5x11.50x16 Dyna Torque II tractors 89 Montero- stock 2.6 M/T 30-9.50 BFG all terrains on American Racing Wheels 99 2500 Ram- 285-75-16 Uniroyal all terrains,straight pipes with no cat (yes its loud) Re: 92 montero intermittent knock now with pictures [Re: teal9550] #965395 10/01/09 05:16 AM Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 36 utah T teal9550 OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Re: 92 montero intermittent knock now with pictures [Re: teal9550] #965396 10/01/09 05:18 AM Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 567 Brookville, Indiana K_Raider Rock Warrior O yeah!!!!
