Since I am new to this forum, Whats up!
Secondly, bought this 86 4runner off craigslist a couple of months ago while deployed. My boy took care of the paperwork for me.
Thought it was a blown head gasket with the ammount of milky, milky oh man milky oil.
The truck as a td04 turbo on it. home made turbo manifold, 2 1/2" exhaust possibly 3" didnt measure and I am crappy on measurements after 1"
I pulled off the cylinder head today- while it was started to snow flurry here in va. yeah that was cold. I thought just some guy had pieced on a turbo kit and didnt control the boost or anything causing the head gasket to blow.
while removing the head the rear right bolt was not torqued as much as the rest, hell it wasnt torqued at all. came right off.
I pulled the head, and well still wondering if I should be amazed by the pistons. dont know what the 22re pistons look like in person, so couldnt tell you if they are forged turbo ones or just normal NA ones.
flipped the head up... oh man I got a turbo head. 82 cc's **** yeah doggie! But I am running the NA head if I find out the pistons are low compression ones. Let that turbo spool faster from the compression being a tad bit higher.
Only thing so far I am dissapointed is the heads were not ported and polished, ****in hate porting heads sit there for hours upon hours with a dremel in the corner with hearing protection in of course.
Got on the phone with summitt racing last night, got the ARP head studs, apexi turbo timer, turbonetics 0-25 psi boost controller, and a .043 (cant remember) copper medium head gasket.
The interior- now the front seats are done. but the rear, holy shit man I thought I was 3 looking at a new 4runner by the looks of the seat- my 120lb pit will love it back there. Lifted the seat... factory preserving plastic. no rust, nothing I wiped the tears from my cheeks at that point. I was happier than a straight guy coming out of an accidental stumble into a gay bar.
