i think the person who got that steering wheel must be colourblind

85Sub4WD, thats about the same number of miles mine has on it.

http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com/express/wizard.jsp?partner=express&year=1988&make=SU&model=LOY-4WD-001&category=A&part=Oil+Pump i can order this but only if i need too.

I cleaned it up and the shaft is pretty scored. is that going to effect its ability to seal?

are there any off the shelf aftermarket pistons available? for either turbo or n/a?

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18277&item=4546432133&rd=1 looks like one or am i mistaken

are you sure its limited to the drivers door? do a compresson check first look at the oil and air filter if they are nasty thats prabably how the car was typically treated

you touched up your heads in the same place i did on the exhaust bowl area. im stuck in looking for pistons now. i see theres Total Seal gapless rings available. those are so mutch better than OEM its not funny and with no turbo I need all the power i can get. I dont need to rebore mine, but as the machine shop as long as it needs new pistons (one was worn 0.002 more than the others) I may as well get the smallest overbore and do it right. how mutch were OEM pistons by the way? what size did you overbore to? was your rod, main and wristpin bushings really worn? mine arent. but there is a worn area at the rear main seal and front crank seal where the crank has been scored that worries me. I tried to polish it out but it was too deep. Im thinking of getting a ready sleeve.

well on a 84 the rubber has already had a reasonable life being 21 years old.

paint it all white with no decals

prabably want to start with the coolant hoses near the intake manifold?

eew I hope the backup engine turns out better

mine have no marks

it absolutly could be the turbo. or it could be bad turbo and bad rings

never heard of a Mercury muffler before. is it noisy?

ok i must have misinterperted my repair manual or it doesnt cover that transmission

if your car has 4x4 and a standard transmission id leave that alone. the auto has many shortcomings that shoule be avoided. like the fact it has no overdrive. its not a 4 speed but a 3 speed

this is after i enhanced the pics

i will try but my camera is barely better than a cell phone.

how mutch does dyno cost? does it go by time or number of runs?

is there an aftermarket gas pedal cover like this i want one

thanks. i bought a new muffler for a XT and cut off the exit pipes because they hit the gas tank. i bent longer pipes and installed them in the stock location. its basically just a little louder than stock, not annoying at all, the engine itself makes more noise than the exhaust.

xt6 rack? you swapped in the electric power steering?

how mutch for a key that looks just like that?

fix it and make some sort of warranty if it breaks again you will buy it back
