Oh hell yeah. I'd take me one of those. Damn old yota pick ups are tanks.

Re: my new winter beater
 

why does it need a heasdgasket

Re: my new winter beater
 

how is the framerails right behind the cab going towards the axle? #1 rustout issue with the '86 trucks

Re: my new winter beater
 

When I picked it up, I drained 7-8 quarts of milky foamy fluid from the oil pan. I filled it with new oil, topped off the rad. and it ran like a kenyan.

No frame rust on this truck whatsoever. Farm trucks in Rural ND FTMFW. :8

Re: my new winter beater
 

I dont think hes worried about rust on a $400 winter beater. Just my thoughts, but I could be wrong.

I didnt know that toyota had a turbo truck. that kicks ass.

Re: my new winter beater
 

im going to bedliner the bottom half of the truck so the rust isnt so noticable...

Re: my new winter beater
 

its structural rust.. its worth worrying about



does it still have that milky oil? timing chain ate the guide, chain chews into waterpump on timing cover. antifreeze gets pumped into oil pan, oil pan hydrogenates it into a milky slurry. common issue with mileage'd engines

Re: my new winter beater
 

So ur saying I should take the timing cover off and check fro that before ripping the head off? just fyi its also speweing some kind of liquid on the exhaust manifold after warming up causeing it to smoke grey from under the engine bay

Re: my new winter beater
 

the timing cover feeds coolant down the side of the block via the 1/2" heatercore pipe that bolts into the back of it, under the dizzy/ps pump. could be that, who knows. could be the ps pump itself or the rack or who knows without looking

Re: my new winter beater
 

Definatly go ahead and replace the timing chain and guides while your in it. Big issue with these motors.

Re: my new winter beater
 

dont just replace.. convert it to double row.

and if you do the timing chain, replacing the oil pump wouldnt be a bad idea, you gotta take it off anyways, just get a full gasket kit, and you're going to have to loosen your oilpan to properly do the timing cover lower gasket or risk damaging the headgasket portion that goes between the head and timing cover. pain in the ass when you damage that ;)

Re: my new winter beater
 

HA HA HA LOL AISIN WHEEL LOCKOUT's
I Work for Aisin. I'm surprised that they are still in tact though

Re: my new winter beater
 

I don't get it?

Re: my new winter beater
 

every time I see one of those trucks I think of Top Gear episodes with how to kill a toyota pickup.
The pickup would not die after the truck was drowned, hit with a wrecking ball, drop from a helicopter 30 ft, drove through a construction shack, had trailer drop on it, set on fire, and placed on top a 20 story building that was about to blown up.

Re: my new winter beater
 

you get this fixed yet or what?

Re: my new winter beater
 

ah goddamn thats exactly the kind of truck/deal im looking for. Killer find!

Re: my new winter beater
 

Damn thats a tough ass truck. But i bet a bar or two of boost would kill it.

Re: my new winter beater
 

swap that ct20 out for a 14b or something

Re: my new winter beater
 

damn these are pretty rare nice find

Re: my new winter beater
 

I put it up on craigslist as soon as I bought it just to see if I could turn a quick 500 bucks but if no ones buys it by friday I will be working on it this weekend. I'll keep everyone updated. Hopefully I don't need a new head or new bearings...

Re: my new winter beater
 

you need to better describe why you think its the head or hg and what issues you get from it as of now. take off the alt/ps pump and see if you cant find your leak back on the drivers side of the timing cover

Re: my new winter beater
 

fix ur damn jdm angles on those pictures i cant see whats going on.

Re: my new winter beater
 

-Oil was milky and foamy when I drained it(7-8 qtsof stuff came out)
-smokes from under the hood once it warms up to operating temp.
-loses Coolant fast.
-Motor sounded great when I changed the oil and filled the coolant, could even here it compressor surge ;D
