On Corky's e-brake question, those are the rear calipers in the pics, right?

If the engine was turned over with no sparkplugs in, any fluids that might have been in there should be gone. If you still get high readings on that cyl them maybe theres a problem with the valves. You may need to pull the valve cover to see if they are working correctly, that is if every other option is exhausted. But I would do that before pulling the head. There still has to be a reason there was H2O in the crankcase, which may be a gasket problem.

Looks like a FT4WD (4EAT)

Was he wondering why you were laughing? Edit...I just noticed the lic plate. It should read UREA

Yes, thats true. I got one tested last week and it was 2500rpm's. Did you take the car back to the place your first got it tested at?

I'll keep my eyes open for that hatch In the meantime, dont tear that rig apart yet.

Snow at 3500ft here in the passes Cant wait for more, at sea level

Hey, no matter how your read it....its still nasty

If the guys plan on going to Rieter next weekend, thats just down the road from you on Hwy 2.

Shouldnt hurt taking them off, just dont use it to put them back on.

The high compression in cyl #4 might be due to coolant in the cyl. I vote for a bad HG. How long has the engine been running?

Tell you what, hang on to it for about 4 more months. I have a settlement coming and I would be more than happy to give $2500+ for it. I think it would look awesome in my driveway next to my stock one and I love stuff thats unique. Not to mention fun to 4X. Btw, I should be sending you a vid tape from the show soon

Hey Kaz, I havent forgot. Its just been raining for the last 5 or more days. Its supposed to clear up (a little) on Wed and I'll try and get the measurements then.

Did you replace the cat?

Now thats a thing of beauty Thats what its supposed to look like, after having some fun

Caleb, you went and spilled the beans

There could be some vacume hoses that are leaking that were originaly to the AT. They go from the manifold to the tranny.

Yup, happens with my 86. I attribute it to a possible alt/voltage descrepency. When the injectors dont get a steady voltage, they will not pulse correctly. When I get a new(er) alt hopefully this will cease. A weak coil also might contribute to this symptom.

Theres a couple available in the Tacoma PAP. I could get you one tomorrow when I go there, just make sure thats what you need.

Thats the air mixture adjustment screw. It will change the idle, its the recommended way also. Turn it in the direction that lowers it to (I think) 800rpm's.

If they are going to be machined, you might be looking at between $30 and $50 each.

Besides everything else mentioned above, is the fact that the XT6 has massive anti-sway bars front and rear. The lowest center of gravity of all Soobs and the lowest air co-effiency. Not to mention the weight to power ratio

Ok, are we talking about a clutch replacement or a clutch cable replacement now?

Thats actually the bolt that holds the tensioner. Loosen it and put pressure on the belt, then re tighten.

Keep track of the car. There might be some issues that the "new owner" knows nothing about and just might decide to do what the previous owner did. Who knows, she just might have even been the PO I think taking a car out of someones yard, regardless if its free or not, without the person knowing it, could be construed as auto theft. If you wanted to be a "by the book" type person, this car could be yours still. If you think its worth the hassle :-\
