[Re: Jay Ayala] #1070689 05/05/14 10:59 PM Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 3,269 So Cal, USA justice OP Roll Me Over Yea it should be interesting to see if there is a marked difference in power. It was amazing how much carbonized oil deposits were in the lower intake and intake ports of the heads..about 1/8" of buildup. I am thinking of installing a catch can to catch oil between the EGR and the intake to remove it before it get back in. still researching that a bit. 99 Gen 2.5, fixing blown head gasket 89 SWB- 33's, ARB Front locker, SR rear locker/axle, SR F brakes, winch, WST Offroad Armor all Around, 2.85 Aussie T-case Gears (SOLD) Sold: (2) 95 SR's, 86 SWB, 90LWB, 91 LWB -Can Change a timing belt in my sleep..

I used a drill bit for the "pin" this pic is after the tension was set and then checking after rotating crank 360 degrees. This is where I ended tonight, almost there.

[Re: justice] #1070693 05/11/14 05:30 AM Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 3,269 So Cal, USA justice OP Roll Me Over Forgot to add that I took the alternator in to the clowns at autozone to get tested due to an intermittent light on the dash going on then tuning off after a while..replaced a dead battery not too long ago so it was suspect. It failed, of course autozone wanted to sell me one of their lifetime remans for over 200 bucks. No thanks. Some of you may remember how many of those I went through on my 89. I found Amazon had these OEM Brand Denso's (re-manufactured by Denso with Denso internals for $128. Not bad considering this is a 100 Amp Alternator. 99 Gen 2.5, fixing blown head gasket 89 SWB- 33's, ARB Front locker, SR rear locker/axle, SR F brakes, winch, WST Offroad Armor all Around, 2.85 Aussie T-case Gears (SOLD) Sold: (2) 95 SR's, 86 SWB, 90LWB, 91 LWB -Can Change a timing belt in my sleep..

Jay Ayala Body Damage is Cool Quote Jay should be the same SOHC 3.5 but I cant garantee it. My castings were G7S4FR. Hi Justice, I was able to pull the engine on my 1997 over the past few days. Actually, I helped my wife pull the engine. I found that we have the same cast number for the cylinder heads. Thought you should know. Justice, did I miss an update on your rig? How is it working? 89 Raider - V6, Automatic, rear LSD, A/C Retrofit, Cruise Control Retrofit. Re: My 99 lost coolant, blew something...Oh No! [Re: Jay Ayala] #1070695 06/19/14 07:35 AM Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 3,269 So Cal, USA justice OP Roll Me Over It runs great. Idles smooth plenty of power, But it has a noise that I believe is coming from the bottom end. I'm thinking a bearing gave way down there due to the over heat. Win some loose some I guess. I'm thinking I'll look for a good used 3.5 or 3.8 and swap the new heads over then swap it in. Daughter drives it to work and it does fine though I'm not comfortable towing my boat with it the way it is. Picked up a Gen 3 the other day so that will be handling the towing duties. 99 Gen 2.5, fixing blown head gasket 89 SWB- 33's, ARB Front locker, SR rear locker/axle, SR F brakes, winch, WST Offroad Armor all Around, 2.85 Aussie T-case Gears (SOLD) Sold: (2) 95 SR's, 86 SWB, 90LWB, 91 LWB -Can Change a timing belt in my sleep..
