Vsicks Pathy Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 There was a donk on here that was free to a good home. See if it's still up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthy Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) Valve stem seals as the engine idles it sucks oil in past the seals when you give it a rev it goes into the cilinder and het presto smoke :secret: I think you can put new ones in with out taking the heads off by putting each piston to the top taking out the spark plug putting compressed air hose in it keeping the air going in while you take the valve spring off replacing the seal refitting the spring and then moving on to the next one . At least that's how we did it on a falcon 4.1 motor :cool2: you can make a air fitting out of a old spark plug Edited October 1, 2005 by parthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 did a top half rebuild about 3 years ago...so i was figuring it wasnt the valve seals...but that would be awsome...i've got 250k did the rebuild at 225 when a timing belt broke... yea i've dropped an email and left a message on here about that other motor but no response yet...

Sound like it could be the rings then. Good luck with it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unccpathfinder Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 yea i live like a quarter mile from school so with gas and the $250 parking pass and lack of parking near the new engineering building (bout a mile from the house) i just bought a 100 bike and ride it out there so pretty much i only drive for beer runs and wheeling which the trail i ride in town i can almost throw a rock from my backyard and hit it... any1 ever heard or restore? a buddy of mine throws it in his van and siad it stops it and he does it about every 3 months...im not a big fan of throwin stuff in the motor cuze sometimes that makes it worse than what u had...i think i should just let it till its burnin all the itme or a majority of the time and not just a puff here and there (dont wanna be too big of a pollutor) just gotta decide now if i wanna sell my trailduster (or even better put the pathy body on there if i cut down the frame) buy a mazda 3 or something cheap with good gas milage...make the pathy the rig then decide if i wanna mess with putting the 350 im in the process of rebuilding in her or in the scout as originally planned... but getting rid of the pathy is not an option im keepin her forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
