Slick

you remember my numbers B? yah.. piston was broke enuff to lower compression. but not enuff to cause an obvious miss..... then the slight smoking started... and that.. was the head gasket...... she gave little to no signs.... btu you saw the pics and i had the uber drip of water from the exhaust.......

show me where the $2000 in suspension is and i will tell you whether it's a good deal. looks like it's had a new door and how's that visible rust down there? i paid $1000 for this 91 pathy 3 days ago and it's got 4" TM SL and 3" BL and 33's........ and a 6 months (and less than 5,000 miles) fresh rebuilt auto tranny.........

have you checked you u joints? i have the same issue and am still hunting.. mine has actually stopped doing it now but it was weird. also, check your tranny support, make sure it's tight. i hear the tranny mount/support can get worn and sag causing movement...

i found aarons post with the sizes here in the garage section. i KNEW it had been recently posted. and sure enuff. there it was. glad i could help

your block is the same.. it's the intake that is different and wiring. if you can find a good VG30 block then you're in luck. that's 87-95 that share the same block. in 90 they started the VG30E's

they are 6mm

ah ah! fab me one up n i'll give you the measurements.. hehehe.... gimme a bit n i can get you the measurements oh yeah. you REALLY don't want to use the stock mounts anyway.... they are uber flimsy

glad i could oblidge.

do you have a tape measure? or you just don't have a bumper?

you talkin stock manifolds or thorleys? here's my thorleys...... and stock manifolds......

no. all my compression was still in the 100's.. but more than 20 off the rest on piston #4.. the broken piston........

:o i agree on the "wreck of the titanic" comment... holy moly........ that's pretty bad there.... dang......

well.. you should read my threads.. lol.. broken piston and or head gasket come to mind first. if he tweaked the distributor, that could have been it or knocked a vaccum line off. some pathys don't run good bang on the timing marks. some like 14 degrees, some like 15.... and so on.... does it smoke a bit on start up? run like ass? sound like it's perhaps not running on all 6? ^^my owee. ALSO....... did the mechanic mess with the spark plugs, wires or anything around there? does it feel like it's starving for fuel? have you checked to make sure all the vaccum lines and sensors are plugged in?

i changed the fuel line on both ends of the rail when i swapped motors

*gives hugz* sorry to hear about the accident.... i think your pathy held her own and glad you're ok. that's #1

ok. parousing my pics, i only have spare the piece that goes to the motor.. i am using the part that goes to the frame.. and that's got the rubber part in it.... sorry.... cuz that's the part you need that i don't have spare. :sniff:

hmm.. here.... http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail....type=27&ptset=A if yer desperate.. i have spares. what "part" do you actually need? the part to the frame or the part on the motor or both?

good luck Z! keep us updated!

my new 91 has a 3" BL.. but the PO didn't know which BL it was. i can take pics if you want? i haven't had the chance to really get under there and investigate yet

apparently my stealer isn't decent, he had NO clue what i was talking about when i asked for the "upgraded" studs.... i had to spell it out for him. then they didn't have any.. but i seem to pull my motors a lot so used std studs, which so far have been fine with the thorleys.

hey. i need another vote..... cuz king caca has 199, 899 miles on him adn queen caca (mini me) has 143,000 (depending which motor we're talking about. but the truck has 143,000)

how do you know? huh? sly

i actually DID notice a difference with restore in my 92 S-10.... and i have sworn by the stuff ever since. you use 1 can of restore in place of a quart of oil.... it is a lubricant/selant as ryan said. it is a bit thicker than 10-30 oil, and it's blue. next time yer in wal mart go check a can out. it's by the octane boosters n other "additives'.... it's a silver can .. kinda like a beer can.. blue writing. oh yeah. and i use fram TG8A filters.. always had good results with fram filters.

i just got dark tint for all my windows.....

i use a bottle of restore and valvoline max life.. i have used it for YEARS..... :bow: just put red line MT-90 from summit in the manual tranny too
