well, still on dry land but dead!
Cruising along 'bout 50 thinkin, Punkin sure is running good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) then came the grinding/grating noise, a bit of engine rev & that's when I put in the clutch & engine stopped. While coasting I gingerly let the clutch out & more grinding/ grating sounds. Continued to coast & pulled off the road. Turned the key just to see what would happen. Engin turned over once then a CLUNK & (I think) seized. All done. Luckily I was 200 yds. from home & was able to have a friend tow it into the yard. Guess this is as good a time as any to put in the 2.0, eh? Shore was lookin forward to driv'n it to JP's tomorrow.... shitdamhell (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) anyone take a guess at what happened? ...........b |

Sorry to hear about Punkin. Every engine I've busted has always run best just before it let go. Glad you have the 2.0l to stuff in it. I hope the transplant works well. Dave |

Hey Craig, thanks for the offer. I still have the trusty Toyota T100. I'm thinkin real hard about starting to clean up the 2.0. Almost went out to get some brake cleaner & get down & dirty but getting Fat Tire for JP's took precedence (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'll go to the FLAPS in the morning & pick up a gallon!

Here it is almost a month later & I just found out what killed Punkin. I took off the HE's this morning to use them on the 2.0 I wanna put in. Looking up into the exhaust ports I could see the valves.... 'cept one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) So, anyway, the mystery is oveer and I can go 'bout gettin the engine out on Sunday. Lookin forward to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Well, at least the mystery is solved. I think you will enjoy the 2.0L (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
