Looks like some hippy fogot their bong on your tb

If it works, it don't matter

haha yeah, the 240 manifold will get rid of all that crap, it will just be a normal manifold.

Oh wait, we are talking about turbo D21's...my bad...

[vr4x4]

I want to be a cool kid with a turbo truck too, plain and simple. I heard the ladies LOVE it.

[vr4x4]

Yup that's a 31 dollar paint job. That's rustoleum!! I sanded, wet sanded and buffed, now for the rest of the truck.

[4g63mightymax]

That is the look of sweet success.

[knuckshaft]

that sure is the look of success! i can read the van letters in your roof

and shinny enought to tell what color things are in the reflection

so today is going to be the fun project of replacing the timing chain finally. Its not going to sound like a total pile of crap any longer, so thats a major plus. And while I am in there I am going to do a coolant flush because its so rusty and brown.

[vr4x4]

well there was one hidden bolt that I didnt see on the front timing cover.... and the whole thing was rtv'ed on so I pulled and pulled untill I broke that coner off. So long story short, I just ordered a new frontend timing cover. Lame. But I hope by next weekend it will be all back together.

[knuckshaft]

That sucks!

[vr4x4]

yeah but luckly its only going to cost me 63 bucks for the part. So I can deal with that. Its just a HUGE setback!!!

That is a bummer Greg. I went up to Maine this weekend, and quickly realized that Maine is where all the D21's go to die. Every yard in Maine has at least 1 Nissan pickup in it. It pretty odd really.

That is awful Greg, I know the feeling my front timing cover is broken too

Did you go up to Maine just to go to junkyards?
