I got lost

[Tates97]

Just thought I'd say a hey to some familar names...upon further reading there seems to be a place here for me to do that.As opposed to here. I am still waitingon the engine to go back in.The "might as well replace that while the engine is out "got pretty expensive but I think the damage is done. Tate

Hey chief, Yeah with so much knowlege gone I started looking around. Being so new ,Moderation never got to be an issue for me. (moderation has never been an issue with me ) Just not learning much...
Yeah (I'll try to be short) Always had a fair amt. of white smoke-new injectors(Beans) less smoke but some and a fair amt of oil loss new turbo(Industrial Injection) SO took it out for a spin after I did this work and it just started running bad took it in 0 compression on front right piston. After weighing the engine age and the deal on the short block and the number of quarters in my sofa I went w/a rebuilt from IH. Got it -put all new valves,oil pump,h20 pump and gaskets so far...$2500 for motor $1300 for install $1000 for above acces.
So thats me...I know a little (thanks to a lot of you I know) and those I've yet to meet...Excuse my ignorance Tate

Why no compressio nfront RF cyl?
Yea it can add up fast. Painting her up nice before the engine goes in? I think thats worth 20 HP in its self!

Welcome to the site. Like rick said - Don't forget the paint

 

[Tates97]

(ENter my ignorANCE) When the mech (I didn't have the time/ energy to do it my self-1st mech to touch it )pulled the heads off it it looked like something had gotten in the space between the piston and the valves-looked like and automatic bb gun had laid waste to the top of the piston ....? the valves were way thin and a few other pistons were about 80 to 100 lbs short of what they should have been. No time for paint...cleaned up is nice for me I gotta get in running, broke in and making me some $$$. Please offer your questions,ideas on the process I can take it.I'm just happy to get feedback instead of being judged on my lack of posts...Thank Tate
