What fuel are you using?

That Camaro must have a Deetroit innit. It haz a scavenging blower.........

This thread is 15 years old......just saying!!

You are always welcome in my home my friend!

Vlad at the Hellertown Truck Stop Thanksgiving Meal.....2015? 2016?

Vlad! It's almost time for American Thanksgiving! Are you coming again? We will set a place at the table for you!

You got Hamms for the poor confused soul that painted his bulldog that shit yellow, didn't you?

I just wanted to take a minute to say to one of the finest couples that I have ever had the privilege and honor of knowing, that I am absolutely ecstatic for both of you. I have followed the romance from the start, and the two of you complement one another with absolute perfection. I am so stoked you got married, and so deeply saddened that Star and I could not make it. All of our love to both of you- The Yardumian Family

I have a 6KW Generac and never have any trouble with it. I installed a quarter turn fuel valve and run it dry of the ethanol free (the ONLY fuel I will put into it) every time I am done with it.

This is me, throwing the bullshit flag.

PHOTOCHOPPAGE!!

Check the amperage required to run that heater. Bet ya the cig plug isn't enough.

I tried to post a video of the initial start but I dunno what I am doing (as far as posting videos.) You will just have to take my word that it idled as smooth as the prom queen's thighs.

Casey (SMALL who isn't so small at 11 years old now) and my father in the beginning stages of disassembly. The timing belt with a 5-inch portion worn down. There's yer issue. A very happy boy seeing piston heads. After careful, thorough inspection which revealed no evidence of piston/valve contact, we cleaned everything up and started re-assembly. New head bolts, water pump, timing/serpentine/PS belts, new coil/plugs/wires. Filled the cups with diesel for 24 hours. Nothing leaked down. Casey dipping the new head bolts in oil. Casey pulling on the torque wrench. 25/50 then one more 1/4 turn. He was able to do them all except the 1/4 turn, not enough arm strength yet. His tightening patter cheat sheet is that paper on the shock tower.

I think it's friggin hilarious!!! The only ones who don't care for him are the ones who think Detroits are the second coming of Christ.

I like him because he blows up Detroits!!!!

No "reputable" yards around here. UPDATE: That price that was quoted to me was parts and labor. The price for the parts is about $600 In the absence of any evidence of damage, I am going to reassemble. New head bolts, new water pump, new belts, new tensioner, new plugs, new coil & wires, new thermostat, etc etc etc FULL SEND. Now. Where do I find the time?

UPDATE: After watching several youtube videos I learnt myself how to pull the head- what a PITA!! In order to pull the timing belt cover, you have to pull the harmonic balancer and the (3) right hand side engine mounts. Hardest harmonic balancer I ever had to pull, it would not give up. I finally had to sacrifice a Harbor Freight three jaw puller to the God of air impact guns. Soaked that thing in kroil and smashed on it with a 5lb maul for a spell and then put an impact gun to the puller and it finally let loose. Then you have to put a jack under the engine, take the weight off the 3 mounts, pull those bolts and then lower the engine down to get at the first mount through the wheel well. Then jack the engine up, and pull it forward while someone else goes in with a ratchet and socket and gets the other 2 bolts- and out comes the timing belt cover. Oh, and yeah the timing belt has a 5" portion worn down, no teeth. And a bunch of other teeth that are chewed to hell and a bunch of teeth sitting in the bottom of the timing cover. So we get the cover and the belt off. Pulled the cam gear, unbolted all the head bolts and off it came. No cylinder damage at all. No damage to any valves or stems visible to the naked eye. So I have a buddy price out new parts and labor for re-assembly....reman head. new head bolts, new timing belt and tensioner, new water pump, new serpentine, new hoses (may as well while I am in there) new coolant, new wires/plugs and oil/filter.......$2400 for everything. Well. Shit.

For the carb, you're going to have to be more specific.....as in what engine? The siren- check with Joe Dorgan www.thesirenman.com Turn signals- they are out there. Sniffing into that for you. Mack extinguisher- good luck, they are rarer than Hen's Teeth. Maybe try the various fire service flea markets. Wood ground ladders: Keep your eyes open on fleabay, also at fire service flea markets.

So my fault..... Last year we acquired a 2005 Dodge Neon with the 2.0 for Medium. I was not aware that you have to change the timing belt on these at 100,000. Well, the timing belt took a poo at 126,000, fortunately right in front of the house. Yes, it is an interference engine. However, when we crank it, I do not hear any clattering, gnashing or anything else indicating possible cylindrical carnage so I am hoping no valves dropped. I am counting on a few bent ones though. I figured I would at least pull the head and see if there is any internal carnage and if not I would drop a rebuilt cylinder on with a new belt and water pump. So the question is- anyone ever take one of these 2.0 engines apart, is there anything I need to know? Any special disassembly procedures for the fuel injection or anything or is it all pretty straight forward?

Actually as much as I hate to admit it there were more powered by pancake 671's

Correct. Crown was based in Los Angeles, Ca. A very popular builder of buses and Crown FireCoach was their Fire Apparatus line- very very popular among west coast Fire Departments.

There's probably a hole in it somewhere.

There is a specific process involving three different Meguiar's products which will restore faded single-stage paints beautifully. We did my 1978 Hahn which sat outside for 5+ years (and had pine tree sap all over it which took a pressure washer and hot water to remove.....) I need to find that file containing the instructions and specific products for you.
