operose replied to Vanislru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
to clarify, it turns over but won't start? definately check timing related stuff... something about a screw in the disty.. t-belts, tensioners, pulleys -
I've put 5k miles on mine with the keyway in the crank and the pulley completely screwed... I bought the highest quality lock-tite I could find, and torqued it down to 180lb-ft I keep telling my girlfriend "any day now this thing is just going to let loose" seems like the more I say it the longer it lasts

need some guys with block experience/ideas
operose replied to idosubaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I am also not familiar with block work but it seems like you could take that one bolt out (what could it hurt ) and either teflon tape it, get a new bolt, or maybe even try sealing it with an o-ring? (if you wanna go ghetto, that is..) -

so this is the reason for oil pooling on the block, I take it? -
I think what he was saying is that the tire that was in the air would have been the path of least resistance as compared to the tire in loose dirt??

Tex's RX Thread for May... Teh last one evar!
operose replied to Subarutex's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
we're all polishing turds... turns out it has been 1 year and 9 days since I drove home with my new (to me) xt6 on a trailer in pennsylvania... I paid $500 for the car, and a rediculous amount in gas for a truck and renting a trailer.. the car had bad transmission. I pulled the tranny and installed one from a parts car I had. I have about $2k into it total now and have driven it still less than a mile and a half in the 1 year and 9 days I have owned it. it's a sickness. <edit> to be fair, this is a different situation, as yours was running crappy, and I just haven't really had time to work on mine -
the tmic looks nice
-
hooray for progress!! I'm feeling real good that I finally got my xt6 moving around too... only a few more things to button up. got any recent pics of the rx?
-
first one didn't work for me, but in the second one you got owned by being too easy on the skinny pedal!!
