No magic, get a VOM and check fuses and voltages. There also fuses or C/Bs in the leads going to the battery

Back to basics. Is the radiator core support (truck) completely sealed to the radiator?? ALL the air that goes through the grill MUST go through the radiator. no leaks around the edge of the radiator. Those strips of foam that are used to seal window ac's work great.

No generator or shore power then. SOLAR, SOLAR, SOLAR,,BATTERY, BATTERY, then ac If you're buying new get a rollaround with twin hoses, they are way more efficient. If stuck with a single hose, ask Linda, politely, how she has her single hose set up.

Don't forget to flush the fuel line.

Somebody got a super steal here, it went for $26,250.

Check the clearance, 99% of the time its the exhaust valve that burns. But if you're this far along remove both shims. If the intake valve seat is bad you will hear it in the intake, a bad exhaust will be heard in the tailpipe. If you're using compressed air and a blowdown-gauge, BE Very CAREFUL, the engine will kickover violently if the piston is not at TDC.

OOPS got my 6 cylinder engines mixed up. Using the tool set will let you change the shim with the cam installed. Removing the valve cover and doing valve checks, is not heavy lifting, removing the heads IS heavy lifting

Adjusting the valves at this point is a crapshoot, it depends on how long this has been going on. Fairly short time, adjustment might do, longer time and the valve seat is burned and the head has to come off. If you have time and talent, just do the one side. Watch utube for videos on how to do this, it is a major pia. You have to take things apart and measure the clearance, then remove cam to remove the shims. Measure the shims, do the math and order new shims of the right thickness. Reinstall the cam and measure everything AGAIN and hope your math skills were good. Never mind the cost, just try and finding a shop that will work on that engine and has access to the shims. The 22re is SO MUCH simpler with adjusting screws. Some folks wonder if the extra power is worth it. P.S. I put a zillion miles on a VW Rabbit with the same valve adjustment setup. When I sold it I gave the new owner a half of a Crown Royal bag full of used shims. You could reuse shims with different valves. The shims were so hard they never wore. I used a tool set like this to compress the valve and pop out the shims. https://www.ebay.com/itm/196374460186?itmmeta=01J09NRHWXS67EAE44X11GBXT5&hash=item2db8d4771a:g:f5wAAOSwvUtlKBgL&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0Dw3P%2F9qudluWAOEjMDRulO1vvmWX2n1ZEjvNDeCmRmr6c2fSHx1weeUy6MHl2bAnd1VuyzFqzk4YkywtzksGgQiDicGhdfmsrgVjed0%2BkRep6A%2FuZxMPsKrgHWyIOaNOTzFKeCQRUTIjZckU8h8SQsVFqnGpzJQ5mbtt3dvXMIn7W%2F3aQ8QDthjLYP6T3vw6vRwqNK0XTsBJDC70fqL7JTYLgZDj%2B9soSJ39%2BR%2BkjkH%2BZHfBiWofLPtD28Y3XuMtbIqQko7gw75kADr20mSifg%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8ie4rWCZA

Factory compression specs Warm engine, all sparkplugs removed. WOT, 5-10 compression strokes normal 171 psi minimum 142 psi max difference between high and low cylinder 10% (14psi)

When was the last time the valve adjustment was done. This engine is known to be VERY sensitive about valve clearance. As miles add up the valve clearance DECREASES and if ignored you will start burning exhaust valves. Your planned compression check is a very good starting point.

A. longer screw, push in and elongate the wellnut and push the bolt in and pull the wellnut out by the flange. B. Remove the screw and cut off the flange off. Push the rest in to the tank and fergetabout it. Then get a new nut
