Got those pictures for you guys

Here she is, I call her Madalyn.

I took a picture or two of the engine bay after I took the intake and carb off.

I have since taken the engine bay down to nothing to wash and paint the block and head.

I was going to take the head off and do the rings but since I didn't have a real problem before I figure I will wait until I need it.

here's another picture of the truck and dirty girl's engine.

I have alot of oil sweat and sludge on the outside of my 91's block. I had a valve cover leak, as the previous owner didn't tighten it, so shes a little dirty. Plan on cleaning it up? She looks real good.

she's shining now!

Looks damn good bro really clean!

Looks great!

thanks guys I wish she ran good. ive been struggling to get it running good. it sounds really poppy and sputter. I think its a timing thing. I've verified gas and spark are good and the carb settings aren't making too much difference and it starts sounding really smooth around 3000 rpms so I figure its got to be timing thing. I have a post about it up in engines 2.2l

Hmmm yea I'd say since you have fuel and spark and starts but runs a little rough at idle or low speeds, sounds like a timing issue maybe off a tooth or a possible valve sticking.

sorted out the timing with a little tinkering.

moved on to an interior project doing the door panels.

here's how they turned out.

old!



new!



what do you guys think?

PS. the little black spots are my crappy camera.

Huge difference.
