That's some nasty sludge there. Other then that it doesn't look too bad.

Thanks i got it all cleaned up today, and put the lid back on i thought I was going to be done today but the crank bolt is just spinning when I was trying to get top dead center for timing so back to researching

Are you using the screwdriver trick to find TDC? It's been a while but crankshaft shouldn't be spinning without some resistance .

Was going to use the camera on my phone to watch the piston go up.
Just got off work didn't get a chance to check it out, the bolt spins but the crank is tight (wont move) I ordered a stripped bolt remover kit from Sears for $25 will pick up in the morning. Wasnt planning on pulling the radiator out to rethread the crank may have an excuse to buy a new drill though

So bought a new bolt and washer from advanced auto for the harmonic balancer/crankshaft bolt was going in nicely at first thenn snapppp!!! All the remaining threads got ripped out. So drilled it to 1/2 and rethreaded it and got a new bolt and it went perfectly. Now to find out how to convert the 2 bolt air intake 2 one bolt. I've seen it before its a a single bolt with a 45 degree bend it to go into the center of the air intake anyone seen where they have this?

its a real nice 2 door and welcome to the site,..Im not sure if Id be dumping a ton of money onto this motor if u have a substantial engine knock. The truck seems to be in nice shape and may be worthy of a new crate motor.

Thanks got the oil done it was a quart low, it has mellowed out quite a bit. This morning it sounded like an ice cube bouncing in there. Now it's much more quiet and suddel.

ended up being a tiny piece of metal sticking out from the serpentine belt also how do we start a new post on the forum.

Im trying to figure out how to get the wipers going i replaced the pulse board and motor also checked the fuse under the dash any thoughts? They were making a buzzing sound and i was reading this was telltale sign of the motor being on its last leg i seemed to confirm it when i hit it with a hammer and it got a little louder
