update this mess u PIN!!
are you gonna put some steering stops on that axle?
So the front suspensions done, that was phase one. I think i mentioned that the head gasket went when I pulled this hog in to the shop. So out came the engine. I already had the trans out so it was just as easy to just pull the whole engine out as to try to do the head with it in the truck. The guy I bought this truck from said he had put a shortblock in it. so I looked at all the rounded bolts, mangled freeze plugs, oil leaks etc, and sent the whole engine off to the machine shop I hate leaky engines. This has turned in to the absolute hands down WORST! 22re I have ever tryed to save, NOTHING! is good. Block is now .040 over crank is 10/10 all new valves, guides, seats etc... I noticed one of the rocker arms was all chewed up, so I looked at the cam and it's damn near FLAT!!!!! I'm really iritated the guy I bought this truck from mooved because he needs to have all his wrenches taken away and I would gladly have done it. Then slapped his hand and said "NO!, BAD!" But hey it should run great after I'm done
Anyone have a 20/22r rocker arm asembly?
head work allready done? want'r to breath?
I think he has 30 spline longs in that front end :awesomework:
This means there is no need of for steering stops. You can not over steer Bobby's 30 spline axles. He built them to to with stand 40 degrees and a toyota axle can't turn past 38 degrees even with out bump stops.
Should be good to go:beer:
PS.... I can't beleave that is the same rig you let me drive to go pick up sammitchs with.......bet you wouldn't let me drive it now.......it might take me alittle longer now since Reiter was so close to you house...LOL!......that rig is sexy bud! :awesomework:
No, heads not done, why you got some big valves for me? I need a cam too... My LCE engine had a 450/450 lift 280 dur cam and 1.5mm larger valves and it RIPPED!! it was also 10.5:1 comp tho... :awesomework: I like parts :;
It has steering stops, there made out of 1" fb, solid, baby! But as it is it maxes out the knuckles at the same basic time it hits the steer stops.
Remember when you drove this truck and you said it needed the flywheel surfaced? Oh boy you dont know the half of it :looser: the whoopass "stage 2" pos cheapo clutch that dude put in here that he was so proud of, the material in the disc was so hard that it ate a 3/32" groove in to the flywheel AND presure plate!!! Dont buy the racecar clutch from your local schucks for $89.95 kids! it's not actualy a "upgrade"
nice work mister fister!:haha::haha:
I put the lower links on first just to have something atatched to the axle and theye were the easiest to figure out, prety strait forward. I had cut the link tube long and welded the bushing ends on earlier so once I had a actual leingth I could put them the rest of the way together.

With the lower links on I went after the panhard bar. I knew this was going to be my bigest clearnce isue and the location of the 3rd link depends on where it goes. I wasnt able to get it perfectly paralell with the drag link but it's close enough.

I had to put a 15deg bend in the end of it to clear the top of the dif but I had expected this.
I said it was tight. In order for the coil to not hit the frame end of the panhard I had to place the mount so it is realy close to the tie rod. This is at compresion to where the tie rod is paralell with the bolt head with the steering maxed. Yikes, but it clears.

Here again you can see how crowded it is under there, and where the panhard bends around the top of the dif.
