Turbone

No spacer needed. The only difference is that the AT starter is supposed to turn a little faster.

Where exactly is the crack at? If its between the valves they should be fine. If theres a crack going up into the exhaust port(water jacket), then its toast. Gary has a point about the timing, which contributes to pre-detonation(might be other contributers). There has been a rash of blown HG's here that might be due to this. Or it could be a cheap gasket, I recommend OEM gaskets if possible.

You might have better luck finding a parts car and swapping in whats missing. Not to many here have done AC installs (that I know of).

Or chase a cat under the car and see what type of grease is on its fur when it comes out

From what I understand (and a little seat of the pants), its a hair bigger.

Hmm, he sold it back in Sept. Are you playing catch up?

You can also upgrade the turbo by replacing it with one from a EA82T. Just make sure you use the crossover pipe and downpipe.

I beg to differ. The 84 T-Coupe I sold to Mr. Carb has it, and I have had 4 others that were also. When they first came out they were not water cooled, then the dealers called them back (not a recall) and refitted them with turbo's that were watercooled.

If you do drop the 4spd in, make sure you replace the clutch with the best and strongest you can get. The 4spd doesnt like the torque from the turbo Hopefully the engine has the upgraded turbo, with water cooling.

Remove the disty, remove the #1 sparkplug, put your finger in the hole then turn the engine by hand. When you feel the air being pushed out of the cylinder then you have it at TDC. Line up the rotor just to the right of the plug wire on the disty cap and when you set it in it should be lined up.

My 86 GL-10 T-Wagon has no rear sway bar Yet

May I suggest putting them in the Marketplace? Christmas is coming, and we all need to buy presents. Connie, I think you better get busy - you have no idea what this board can do And btw, sausage with M&C is quite good.

I think what Gary is trying to say about the timing issue, is the dreaded "pre detonation". This just might be your problem Tex.

I've done a few solo tranny R&R's, and its usually the shaft end thats not lining up with the pilot bearing. Make sure the car is secure and once the engine is tilted push the tranny in till it stops. Then you need to get physical with it and shake it around to make it slip in (dont go there guys). This will help it thru the clutch splines also, you might try turning the axle stubs to get the shaft to turn.

Can we sticky this for a couple weeks?

If anyone needs a permit, I have 4 @ $10ea.

Yep, what he said. A shield to protect the plugs and the back of a feedback carb.

I'm in

Uh, was that local to Cheney? It almost looks like Cle Elum area.

Great info from the XT6 guru's. They helped me trouble shoot my suspension, but I had to many things going bad and didnt want to spend alot of money to get it right again. But I think we are forgetting that the car in question was damaged in the area of the compressor and air tank. I'm surprised the comp works after taking a hit, but theres definatly some damage done to some other components like the air tank, lines and probably the shock(s).

I located the original sender. Let me know when you want it.

Most likely one of the sensors inside the shock itself. When this doesnt work the compressor wont run. I had the same problem on my XT6 and when I replaced the front with Legacy struts the stupid compressor started working again You will need to replace the air shock on that side to fix it(if you can find one). And the price new is like $150ea.

What are you doing with the other leftovers? I might have a home for them (minus the diff).

Yours are totally different than our bars. We dont have Roo's here :cool: Your most likely going to have to do some fab work to get it to fit.

Have you installed the stock temp sensor yet?
