cruiser54 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Dude pull the trigger ,this forum will heip you sort it out. Yep. If you don't get it, we'll never let you live it down. Promise. LOL.
jeepsouth Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 I paid $800.00 for my 89 4x4 ,and drove it home 15 miles 3qts. low on oil. Get it before someone else does.
Dirteatr717 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 My vote is to bring er home and tinker with it and then drive it down the block with huge smile. Pics of the Rx7 must be included into this thread for it to continue just sayin hahaha
88whitemanche Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Just get it...i paid 800$ for mine and it didnt run I had to add alot of parts to get ot gping amd can't stop...I'm pretty sure its a simple fix...
HOrnbrod Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Get it if you want, don't get it if you don't. If you are willing to spend the time and sweat and $$ to get it right, then be proud to own a unique truck unlike the rest of the herd, do it. If not, look elsewhere.
CallmeMaybe Posted November 25, 2012 Author Posted November 25, 2012 Alright i picked it up earlier this morning and have already started stripping down the motor. Actually got it running for about 2 mins at the dudes house but there was a terrible ticking coming from the lifters. Knowing the selling had no idea what he was doing during his head gasket repair I'm just going to break it down and insp and re torque. Ill post pics later, thanks for all the pressure lol.
CallmeMaybe Posted November 25, 2012 Author Posted November 25, 2012 Alright after a little tinkering I found all the lifters to be loose. 19ft lbs..... maybe he thought 19in lbs.... Anyway tighten 'em all up and new valve gasket. Charged the battery and then bam.... Nothing. Now its just cranking. No actually turining over. Ideas?
Biotex Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Do you know if it has the correct length pushrods? So are you saying that you tightened down the rockers, then it quit running or did you do some other stuff that may have caused it to lose spark?
77mud Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 start simple, make sure it has spark, if you had the distbutor off make sure you got it back in time, and make sure its not 180* out. If that all checks out good, make sure you have fuel pressure
mountainman Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Lifters may have been over extended due to loose rockers. So now all the valves will be hanging open. BUT you should get some cool backfires when cranking if so. If you go out tmrw morning and it starts right up... its cause the lifters bled back down overnight. But what was said is good. check spark and fuel and then go from there. Basics always finds the answer.
vaquaro Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Way too little info (lotsa guessing ) , hope the dice roll in your favour :huh???:
ParadiseMJ Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Damn, now I'm wondering if I should wear shorts or long pants today. Can you guys help me out??
