izzo Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 bought this a month ago with a blown head gasket, popped a new HG on there and the fucking autozone "nissan timing chain tool" fell out and the tensioner fell down. put all new timing kit in it while its apart. Got it back together and the mother fucker would not run. Got some help from steve, datzenmike, sealik, and micromachinery. Thanks you guys! Thanks for letting me use up 100 of your texts messages to day with questions Raph, i appreciate it man, and i def ow you some beers next time we meet up. Well after a lot of dicking around, and tinkering, here she is. still gotta put a few oil pan bolts in few hose clamps exhaust bolts power steering grill. rubber caps for the emissions bullshit... probably forgetting something else lol... But she runs, i can move her around my driveway under its own power. After i get some of those things done, i will get it licensed and drive it around town for a few weeks and see how it does. then take it on a longer drive. I hate to put my trust in something without getting a little use around town in first. When i got it... video -- click it --- Now... Video link, click it... Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 so how long before you sell it? :lol: and what buy a F250? :lol: :rofl: Bishes... At least a year or two. Might not ever. For now, itll be my get around town rig. Then ill take it on a trip in a few weeks after i ran it a while to make sure its ok. After i get the goon running, i will takei t out wheeling a few times.. But i will have to keep it around, for a tow rig/hauling rig. so this ones a keeper. i got it to replace the other trucks i had. I have had a truck for years now, and wont do without again.

izzo Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Haha, i wouldn't trade for a ford either :rofl: Unless of course, it was like a 60s mustang, or early 60s f100 4x4... those are kinda win :D Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I didn't even get to tell him what I had... I know, was jus sayin lulz... Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 The 720 4x4 is finished. Everythings back together and bolted down. Only thing left to do is top of the power steering fluid, and change the oil/filter. Feelzgoodman.... Next week ill run up to dmv, and get some tabs on this shit then daily it.. This project is far from over. Needs bigger tires, lift, winch, canopy, some other odds n ends.. Might venture out and yank the head on the 510.. but probably not, its about an hour from drink time! Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Drove it to the dmv and back, about an hour drive. Only issue was a ground wire on the firewall flopping around (forgot to hook it back up to the valve cover) Got plates and tabs. Finally, have my own licensed daily driver again. No more borrowing the wives van. Quote Link to comment

Ill discuss when/if that time comes. I know where a yellow 720 KC 4x4 is sitting right now, and next time i go by i am going to stop and ask about it. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The white 85 kc 4x4 i had, i showed pictures of one spot we went wheeling, heres a couple videos of some of the other mud holes out there. These are not my videos, but the same place i go. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Removed the power steering belt, PS leaks so its off till i get a new hose. Timed it 10degrees advanced. adjusted the throttle properly. idles at 1k. cleaned it up a little bit. as of right now it just needs a few things PS hose driver door hinge New windshield looking for some tires for it now, rears are ok, fronts mostly ok just a little camber wear...

Should be around 3-5 degrees....dual plugs and all Idle seems a little high Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Should be around 3-5 degrees....dual plugs and all Idle seems a little high Oh yeah? Thanks for that info man. Ill get to that next weekend and re-time it a little lower. I think the idle is at what it is due to the fact its at 10 degrees. I let the throttle cable loose, and loosened the idle screw, and it woudln't go any lower. 1k is a bit high for what we tune them too, but 1k isn't to radical either :D Ill play around with it and let you know what happens. (i dont have the vacuum advance hooked up right now either) Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Once you get it tuned....there is a single white wire coming from the dizzy...unplug it, and all 8 plugs will fire, all the time. Quote Link to comment

I know which one you are talking about, theres 4 wires in there. Good info. I should have it done next weekend and ill try removing that white wire. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've been hearing a small exhaust leak, thinking the gasket was getting ready to blow out or going out. Got bad real quick. Pretty noisy coming to work. Shut it off, was fine. Went to head out for lunch, and it was real loud.. Think i see the problem here :rofl: These exhaust mani's have two metal plugs for whatever reason (im guessing cali emissions or some shit...) anyways, somethings missing! Ill try and find a bolt to shove in there tonight, but doubt ill find something. If thats the case im going to have to weld it... Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Those are EAI tubes that go the the air cleaner....we have them here also. I removed mine on 1 of my trucks and plugged them Quote Link to comment
