Junkyard Score!!!

Timing cover is on, powersteering/vacuum pump are back on. I put the water pump in, although for the intial start I wont have any of the accessories on it. Starter is bolted back into place.

Just waiting on my parts to get here so I can put the valve covers on (had to order some gaskets) along with exhaust manfifold gaskets. I should be able to fill it up with oil on saturday, put the fuel filter on, prime the injection system....and see if it'll start.

Went ahead and pre-oil'ed the turbo as well so that it wont be dry on the initial start.

I changed plans, once I get it running, after that it'll get a bath

Take a video of it running for us so that we can enjoy with you

Well I caught something. Been running a 102* fever. No progress on engine obviously.

 

[argve]

yep you get better first. temps like that require sleep not work (fun or not).

And it appears that my package has not arrived with my parts to get it going (just some filters, drain plug, and a few gaskets). So it might get a bath on monday depending on if it arrives later on tonight (unlikely).

 

[FordGuy100]

Aww hell, just looked up tracking info...wont be here until the 17th. Alrighty then it gets a bath, fudge.

Tomorrow is the day. Will pick up some oil, and diesel. Put filters on, prime the fuel system....and see what it does!

Plan to use one battery, two 12 gauge wires, and jumper cables.

Jumper cables, one side ground the block, the other to the starter. One 12 gauge wire to FSS to hot side of the battery, and the other will be my ignition switch .

get your camera and 5/8 wrench ready!!!

 

[FordGuy100]

I'm pretty nervous to be honest. I hope it'll run !

 

[alienturtle]

mehhh it will do fine. just got my head back from the machine shop..15 cracks in different places. Still ran like a top. I have no fear

 

[FordGuy100]

And the thought if swapping it in is starting to come back to me.....

 

[FordGuy100]

Bad starter! Crap!

 

[alienturtle]

WHAT!!! ..... lol

 

[FordGuy100]

Yeah even with 24 volts going to it it wouldn't even make it half a revolution before stopping. Good news is that I have all the injectors bled!
