The head has got to come off, 99% of the time no compression between two adjacent cylinders means a blown head gasket. With the head off replacing the timing chain, guides and chain tensioner is the way to do things.

Its not wood, it is paper honeycomb. Very common in the old days as packaging cushion. Supposedly by soaking in resin it would be waterproof. Of course a small spot missed in the coating process and it would dissolve when wet..

Can you say BOOM? Don't screw around with propane. Go to RV SHOP

Leave the angle grinder alone. Get the right tool for the right job. A big ole fry pan with a cast iron lid will do what you want at home.

Don't honk, I'm pedalling as fast as I can.

Every thing tastes better when fried in lard and its the only thing to use for biscuits. Besides the Dutch Oven I have a 22"x3/16" plow disc that has been converted into a Wok and a 65,000btu propane burner. Not real handy to store but boy does it cook great WME

Does Toyota list a turbo bellhousing and a standard one??

I'm afraid that your logic will get you a fried controller. All it would take is a cold sunny day, like after a storm.

Go to Ebay and search Lodge Dutch Ovens. Make sure you get one with a rimed lid so you can bake in your oven and not just cook in it. Wait for a good $$, including shipping cause these suckers are heavy. Maybe Goodwill like your friend. Although here in WY everybody knows what they are and they disappear fast. Mine is 4 years old and just starting to cook great.

A120mm computer fan mounted in 4" pvc pipe. Pipe runs from ceiling to floor. A couple of T fittings at different heights with caps, allows you to have some direction to the hot air . Computer fans use very little power and the tubing keeps it efficient

The wheels were 6 or 3 hand holes. From what I have been able to understand the 6 hole rims were part of the recall/retrofit program. They are also the ones that have the left handed thread studs on the drivers side.

26 ft Georgie Boy w/GM 454 Vortec. 6000+mi, 30 days. 9.7 mpg at 65 mph. Mpg penilty offset by room and big water and holding tanks. Three days with 3people.

I set mine for 10 deg and used midgrade gas

A 4x4 square tube is available at most metal supply yard in varying wall thickness . Got one that was 3/16". The hose fit fine , but it took a little grinding to make some notches for the fitting lugs. I found an end caps that fit a 4" tube OD. No flex problems.

Remember you driving a automatic that was designed to work in a 1/2 ton pickup that was driven mostly empty. You are smarter than it is. You need a tach to know when to shift. No tach then go to the files and use the mph converter and mark your speedo. I use 3000 rpm as a down shift point when climbing the mountains and 4500 rpm as upshift point. Down shifting going down hill is also a good idea. Just remember the engine rpm limits. Manual shifting of an auto causes no harm as long as you respect the rpm limits of the engine. When your done with the ups and downs, just shift back into drive and the trannie is back to a normal transmission. If your sure about your transmission behavor in queston 2, you have a problem. Check the fliud levels and go to the FSM in the files and learn how to check/adjust the kickdown cable.

Lame Brain question !!! Can you make an insert for the 1/2 ton caliper so spread it apart far enough so that it will fit on the 1 ton rotor?? No increase in pad area but you would get a vented rotor to help with fade.

The only reason the head was warped was that the PO had overheated it when the infamous bypass hose by the alternator broke and she didn't see the gauge skyrocket. So if you care for your Toy it will be a long time before you have head problems. WME

Was you toy plugged into 115v, or just sitting there?

The only substitute for cubic inches is cubic money. Or as they also say speed cost money how fast is your wallet. Before i supercharged a 22r, i would just install a bigger engine. I had warped head so I did what I did to fix the problem and make a little more power. From what I figured out my engine was in the 130-135 hp range. A stock rebuild would have been in the 1000 range, so 20 hp for 200 extra was ok. 20 hp for 1200 wouldnt be such a good deal

A 70 degree cut on the seat to help air flow, a 45 degree cut for sealing, then a long 30 degree cut in the intake throat for air flow. A lot of quickie 3 angle jobs are just on the seat to get the margin correct

I done the cam plus other things. End result was 13.7 mpg at 60-65 W/O OD. I used a 270 degree cam from http://www.engnbldr....a-hotlicks.html Also new head with O/S valves and a good 3 angle valve job, an oversized throttle butterfly and a good 2.25 exhaust system It was a little doggie from a standing start up to around 7mph, then things started working. It was much better in the hills, instead of chugging over the top at 40mph I could climb at 55mph. Much better when on the interstate. I think this engine with a 4.88 rear axle and selective use of the OD would have been perfect on a 18ft Raider. I had a 21 ft Escaper, I thought a lot about the 4.88 but because I pull a trailer I decided to not go there. I don't think the OD would work well with the trailer. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/toyota-campers/photos/album/932151036/pic/793345559/view?picmode=large&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&dir=asc Thats Powder River Pass 9666 ft
