Chains can be tempermental. Id use the noisy gear drives.

Okay so I checked the timing chain slop, it's about 1-2 degrees estimated, pretty much the same as when it was new. I checked the magnetic drain plug, didn't have hardly anything on there, and what was on there was so small it looked like sludge. I took a tiny oil sample, only 2 pieces stuck to the magnet, the rest was that brass looking crap, but some of that was air bubbles it looked like. I normally can't smell the scent of motor oil but this supertech crap STINKS.

Nevermind me saying that it has more slack than it did before, it's pretty much the same. |
Replaced all the lifters again. They oil now... somewhat.
Knocking still ain't gone. I think it's the fuel pump. |

Took off my open air filter, and put on the stock setup. Made my own heat riser too. :) Pictures to follow tomorrow

Not much being done on our trucks other then I put the bumper gaurds for our 86 F150 up for sale on the local craigslist. And then have our 84 Bronco 2 4x4 up for trade for a 4x4 pickup truck. Other then that nothing much.

I thought I was actually going to get somewhere today. I had found a nice set of blue/gray shoulder belts at my favorite junkyard Wednesday along with a set of rear corner trim to match. I had already installed the front inboard pieces and center belt.
As usual, things don't always go as planned. I started on the driver's side, removed the trim and found the lower bolt on the shoulder belt was very solidly stuck. I can't really imagine that only 27 years of getting wet on both sides would cause that. :) I did get the weatherstrip changed on both left doors and the rear trim piece on that side modified for the speaker so it wasn't a total loss. After Thanksgiving, I will attack it again with a little heat persuasion. I used one of the impact tools without budging it. |
I have destroyed more than one Torx bit getting the shoulder harnesses off. They seem to be averse to change.

When you put the old or new bolt back in, might wanna put a little bit of anti seize on the threads lol |
Bolts that are on the outside or go to the outside always have anti-seize on them when I put them back.

I will, as I always do, I just have to get it out first.
