    MYT Engine

    Ok now what about the compression stroke, I dont see how the "pistons" compress the air and fuel. If it is diesel run, the compression stroke would have to be apparent since diesel is ignited through pressure and heat. So how does it compress, any thoughts?

    Cant get head off - am i missing something

    ^^^ agreed, you should get the block and the head sufaced and lapped. This is not because it is something that is suggested, it is because it is necessary. The thing with metal head gaskets, is that they only work on a prefectly flat and smooth surface in order to get a good seal. it wont...

    Way to go John Nice to see my towel is being used to it's full extent. Damn nice car. For those out there it is a sweet smooth (smooth as in stiff and bumpy but can take corners like anything) ride and has good power. I love how smoothly the 1J revs compared to my 7M. Take good care of it...

I dont know the year exactly but when I went to go get a new alternator for my car from napa, the 87 year only had a 70amp and i ended...
