I hope that was from valve guide seals and not rings. | | | Re: 87 Dodge "Southeast of Disorder" | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 | That looks like the typical condition of slant sixes that have been running the "lean-burn" ignition and carb. Poor spark control, poor mixture control, poor timing control. Clean off the carbon, dump the computer controlled ignition and carb, and the motor will run MUCH better.
Windows- they're what make a van worth owning! | | | Re: 87 Dodge "Southeast of Disorder" | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 4,460 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: May 2006 Posts: 4,460 | Reed, converter is long gone. smog pump is attached but disconnected. my current ac system is intact, but i removed the cop for power reasons. i got a/c connections here fortunately. itll cost me about 40 bucks..

I need to either do an engine swap on my Jeep or go through the old engine and I really don't want to. I just got new axles in my Saab and my wife's drivers side electric window stopped working on her Rover. It fell down so I have it propped up inside with a couple pieces of wood. I swear, I'll never get to my van like I planned because everything else needs something!
