Crank won’t turn

E85 actually can cause an injector to stick open in a needle/ball & seat injector. It is due to the hygroscopic properties of ethanol which can lead to the metal of the seat corroding.
Anyways. Its all theory until OP dives deeper into it and finds the failure.

 

I'll just say we disagree and leave it at that. I do work for a worldwide manufacturer of fuel injectors ( gasoline and diesel injectors.)

 

Can we see what the 6 spark plugs look like?

 

You mentioned putting marvel mystery oil in the cylinders; did you fill the cylinders? I'd fill them up into the bore the plug goes into. That way you'll be able to see the level drop as It works it's way past the rings over a day or 3.

 

next project lol

 

Cop a Copart Tesla + this, build, and burn rubber.
Help the planet they said,
It will be fun they said

 

sorry guys my internet went down and the just ran a new line to my house.all my pictures where on my laptop.ok so they may be bad picture i took them with a digital camera.the are all taken from where the oil pan is up in to the bottom of the block.no i didnt fill the cylinder with the oil.here are the pics sorry if they are to many

 

I took the belt of today. All pulleys spine free accept the crank. Here are pics of the old starter and spark plugs

 

"no i didnt fill the cylinder with the oil."

It's time.

Well, it's past time.......

 

I really could only make out 1 cylinder bottom and it looked good. No reason to think the top was any worse.

Were the 3 bad looking plugs from the same side?

If it doesn't free up easily with marvel or the like now, I guess it's time to pull a head.

You know you want to.

 

I think two plugs where on the right side one on the left. I can pull the head it’s the timing chain that I worry about. I can do a lot to cars but to be honest when it comes to the Internals of a motor I’m a rookie at.

 

Say man. I couldn't always fly. But that first time I was like screw it, I am gonna learn... and dove in. Now it's time for your to dive in. It aint like TW will leave you hanging anyway. Think about it. You can already do body work...if you could do engine work too. You would be the Yogi Bear of tacoma world picnics. Talked about for years to come. A mule among miniature donkeys.

 

Some of those plugs definitely show signs of corrosion from water and or coolant. I wouldn't think highly of the previous owner who stated it was running fine also. Those plugs didn't come from a well running engine.

 

Here's the truth. It will likely be more cost effective and timely, to swap in a used engine, rather that rebuild this one. This coming from the guy who has built and rebuilt a many.

Doesn't mean that I am not completely fascinated by what is preventing yours from turning, though.

 

But this would be like not watching the last season of GoT! We NEED to see why this thing isn't cranking!

 

If he replaced/rebuilt the engine, would the rest of the truck be OK? does other stuff get destroyed too?

 

If the engine was flooded I would drain the tranny tcase n diffs..

 

You base this on??

 

I think someone mentioned some of the plugs looked like they had coolant/water on them or something
