A modicum of success. Now to get the new one in.

Received IP. Engine is full of external sand. Will power wash tomorrow. IP itself is loosened with 6 lines of the 9 removed. Gonna make a hole and tap the crossover in anticipation of water injection while the intake manifold is off. Gonna tap another for boost pressure sensor.

IP external nuts are removed. Three internal bolts removed and the timing gear is clocked properly. Tomorrow we will remove injector lines and fuel inlet line. Looks like time to pull the intake manifolds. 😖

It’s more like the frustration of a kid waiting to open his birthday presents BUT the birthday is a week away. This IP was toast years ago. I was warned when I purchased this non-running vehicle that the IP was probably shot. It was worth a chance trying to get it going in order to save $2000...

He did. I was hard headed. 😂

Pics of what to do when you strip a hex head… Dremmel mini-disk to rip a straight line across the top of the stripped head, then use a flat head to twist out.

Well… bugger! IP is bad. Don’t know if woodruff key sheared or shaft broke. Engine was turning over and periodically slowed down. Then there was a metallic ping and the starter engine speed sped up. I spoke to Steve/RWH, and he gave me some amazing information which I used to see that the...

I’ve seen some use 5 and 10 lb persuaders to strike the deflated sidewalls of our tires to free them up from the rims before pulling apart.

He is displaying a spirit of 1776 flag. It is beautiful. No one here compares European flags to Hawaiian shirts.

RWH sells the flexible lines IIRC. Ask me how I know.

If you have to ask, that is very concerning. Stainless steel requires a single flare. Other materials require a double flare. I’m with Mogman on this

BLK is an awesome member. He has also made it clear that he removed his Slantback ages ago. I have no doubt that either something is out of alignment OR something is bent. You need an assistant. You need heavy magnetic handles to lift the hatch up and out. You need to measure and realign...

Do I really need to do it? nopics

Always double check with an accurate multimeter

Coug is absolutely correct (as always). There is also a paint and restoration section on SteelSoldiers. It has members who might have done similar stuff

Have you verified they are properly functional?

Don’t push the Red button. Start with fluid level and replacing tranny filter.

SATELLITE TELEPHONE! Or iPhone 14/15 for emergency satellite call for help. Filter straw to drink unpurified water. A set of clean dry clothes and jacket in a 5 gallon ziplock bag. 10 gallons of water. Terlet paper in a ziplock. Air horn and bright light source.
