Nice

 

Started out cold today...17°. But warmed up to the mid 40s with lots of sunshine. First dry day in awhile. Got the Taco and the 'Rolla cleaned up....finally

 

You had me beat
Only -8° at my house..

 

Makes my +8°F sound like a heatwave. Except the wind made it feel about the same...still was pretty out on the mountain Thu-Fri, Sat was a bit overcast driving out and back to town.

 

Should be 67 today... Might wear shorts today.

 

Been awhile since posting. Life has been busy but today I got to tear down the free spare engine for my Tacoma and found out why it has zero compression in cylinder 1....

 

That sucks!!!!!!
Do you think it's rebuildable? ???? Or is the cylinder to far damaged for an overbore?

 

Yikes! That would certainly give you zero compression

 

Yikes...

 

That ain't good.

 

It's definitely rebuildable. Needs pistons, hone or bore over (depends on severity of damage), bearings for the crank and rods because I'm in there, ARP studs, gaskets, idler pulleys, lifters, head/valve cleaning and re-lapping, and a set of plugs. The plan is to build it for boost... so hopefully all goes well.

 

Hey @OVTune have you had any luck with the 2tr tuning software? I remember you saying something about it a couple months back and I'm looking forwards to the options. Will it be able to account for bigger injectors? Or any 2-step/boost by gear type stuff?

What’s everyone using for spark plugs? I tend to get the 30k ones because of a bad experience with one of those 100k models getting stuck in the motor and damaging it upon removal.

 

I use the Factory Denso Spark Plugs. l figure if they're good enough for Toyota. They're good enough for me.
