And with 20 x 1200 Tyres fitted to the front which I found. Looking for more.....
Engine is out, trying to free some valves, and remove split valve guides. Ready for it's acid bath.....then off to the specialist for rebuild evaluation.....
The truck came with good radiator, lights(Minus the lenses!!!
), and a whole lot of bits and pieces! Engine was complete but seized.
Engine may not be original as stated before. Bore's measure 3 3/16 (3.1875).
I purchased another engine, but it was worse than original, so will re-build this one if nothing too bad is found...
I bought some excellent engine covers which are complete and rust free...
It looks like the transfer case intermediate gear has failed at some point, so will need that looking at.
Gearbox looks in excellent condition. I have removed the side cover and drained the oil(sludge) and inspected the gears which all seem ok, and without pitting!!!(Need a win sometime!).
BTW, does anyone know if you can directly replace the older style split valve guides, for the latter model guides and valves in the older blocks?
