Well I haven't uncovered anything I didn't expect yet. I haven't cleaned the head up yet but first impressions are good. Don't see any obvious cracks. Head gasket wasn't blown either. Guess I know where all my blowby, poor starting and lack of power comes from now though.
Well boys 'n girls, gonna go in and have me some lunch. Then we're gonna drop the pan and pull some pistons!
Trying to get a photo of a photo posted. Cannot seem to post it. Will freak you out if you see it i think. Pretty sure that long ago i owned that truck. It was my old logging truck way back. In my office i have a photo hanging on the wall of every truck every owned, except for the three new ones that is. Someday i need to get photos done of the new trucks to hang up as well. I took a cellphone pic of the photo hanging on my wall. Curious what the name was on the door before it was sprayed over by the rattle can.
Yup it was a logging truck. I believe the previous owner said he bought it out of Penticton. He hauled water with it until he parked it in 2004. It sat out in his back yard until I bought it in 2014.
If you happen to remember the VIN, send me a PM. I'd love to hear the history of the truck if it was indeed yours at one time.
Pm me your cellphone number and i can text you this pic. I sold it so long ago i would have tossed the paper work long ago. It was a logging truck i bought from a logging company in kelowna. I used it as a logging truck around the shuswap and revy area for years. I traded it in to the kenworth dealer in kelowna on a newer truck and soon after wish i hadn't lol. That was a great truck.
She was hammered when I got it. It had so many band-aid fixes it was easier just to self destruct it lol. Once I get this engine back together its just a matter of fixing up the cab structure and I can start piecing the truck back together.
That makes me sad, i rebuilt her once from end to end and new paint to. The original paint job was very plain Jane. Have always regretted selling that old girl, and a few other trucks over the years. Some trucks i just regret buying to begin with. I can't be certain, but am 99% sure that is my old truck.
