96YOTERD the beginning of it all...!!!

i think i might have figured it out in my sleep, does the harmonic balancer not drive the oil pump...???? IDK...!!! SHEESH WHEN YOUR ENGINE HAS BEEN APART FOR ALMOST THREE MONTHS NO WONDER YOU CANT REMEMBER SHIT ABOUT HOW IT ALL GOES BACK TOGETHER...!!! rant over im good.....!

 

just another sneek peek...!!!

 

Subbed! Nice build, love the Rat Hilux!!

 

thanks, its a go getter, traded a slammed 69 bug for it....lol

 

Good luck with your build. I like how the engine is turning out, I have to rebuild mine it has developed a misfire from low compression, That should be fun.

 

just do it quick and try not to misplace half your parts like i did... but i didnt take mine out i just took it apart. so its not all my fault...lol

 

Keep your head up dude! Trust me, I've wanted to sell my truck after being frustrated with gas prices. But I know I would regret everything if I sold it haha

 

soo true...!!!

 

no updates today, things have been pretty busy at the shop and i cant get my truck inside to work on it.... maybe sometime this coming week i can get some stuff done and some pictures taken....

 

well tomorrow it goes in..... supposed to be a rainy sunday so i figured why not. plus my uncle said he would come down on his day off and help me out..... some pictures for your veiwing pleasure...!!! ENJOY...!!!

 

it'll move soon!

 

somethings finally done...!!!

 

well today was supposed to be rainy all day long.... wouldnt you know it, it was one of the finest days weve had in forever..!!! i wanted to go fishing sooo bad...!!!
BUT, with my uncle willing to help out i just couldnt pass up the time to work on the yoterd...
MOTOR IS IN AND READY TO WIRE UP...!!! i couldnt be more excited. plus i threw on one of my wheels just to see what it was gonna look like... when i get the 3 inch lift on itll be perfecto...!!!

 

Lookin' good, I like how the engine looks. I hope I can start on my rebuild soon, first I have to finish installing axle seals so I can go to work to get enough to start.

 

havnt got everything completed yet, but i did get it started today... gonna need exhaust work... lol
but i did notice something thats gonna cost me some more money again... my driver side strut spring is broken at the top, it needed new shocks for the back lift anyway but now ive gotta get new struts, springs and rear shocks..... sheesh it never ends...!!!

 

Motor is lookin clean man! You do this kinda stuff for a living?

 

i worked at a body shop for several years as a painter and my uncle owns his own garage so anytime we do something we naturally go all out on it... you should see some of the hondas ive done for my cousin and his friends...
complete firewall shaves and wire tucks, very clean... ill see if i can find some pictures and post them up...

 

Please do!

 

I'm going to call you Toyota Jesus because you're about to resurrect that truck from the dead.

 

a couple of hondas i shaved and painted and my old suzuki i rebuilt from the ground up... it was wrecked when i bought it, it is lamborghini orange with eight coats of gold pearl. i painted the frame and EVERYTHING...!!!
