Long Travel BS Thread

RIP

 

Does anyone have any f67s forsale?

 

He was just mobbing around a trail too fast and got buck nasty. From what I heard.

Heres a better pic of RJ's damage:

 

I have a feeling this is gonna get expensive..

Not sure what it is but something in the top end of the engine is ticking and knocking, we all should've stayed home this weekend lol

Holy shit thats loud.

Hope its not a rod. Doesn't seem like it as thats too loud for a rod.

motor mount??

 

Yeah I have no idea, gonna get it towed to a shop tomorrow and start tearing it down. It has 125,000 miles, what else should we replace while its open?

Motor mounts are fine and gussetted by DMZ, the noise is definitely internal

 

I know this is obvious and maybe a dumb question But you checked the oil right?

 

sounds like a valve broke.

 

do any of you guys have hitches with rear tube bumpers? or with a dual tire carrier?? i really need a hitch, and im trying to think if i have t completely make a new bumper, or just gusset the shit out the current one? suggestions?? would like to be able to tow a flatbed trailer with possibly another truck on it if i had too

 

Well depends on whether or not you have to remove the heads or not.

Could be a broken lifter.

Start by draining the oil & checking the coolant. As well check the spark plugs.

Remove the valve covers and inspect before going deeper.

 

I think blackhawke88 has a hitch on his carrier

 

ah okay.

Water pump maybe.

Wouldn't do that. They are noninterference motors.

 

Do these trucks have hydraulic lifters?

Yeah i drained the oil and replaced it, and coolant was fine. I'll post when its opened up and go from there. Thanks

 

xxxx recently blew and replaced his motor and I believe yours sounds pretty much like
his . Got a hold of him and find out exactly what blew on his motor

 

There aren't lifter really..not like a Chevy. No push rods. The lifters are small cylinders with very specific sized caps to match the cams just right. If you pull them out, make SURE you know EXACTLY where they go.

pic of the head from my dads 08. We put in new Exhaust cam gears.



I doubt one of those broke..but hey..who knows. Could be an actual valve too broke at the stem

 

i just tried searching in his build thread.....couldnt find it lol

 

What did you do? Run it with little oil?

 

Time for a 9"

 

You can barely see it here. Cant tell gusseting or anything



Also here is Jberry's and still cant see gusseting...



Well we know it handles weight and the forces against it...
