Got the rest of the motor torn down. Itll be a few weeks before we get it back from the machine shop. Found a local guy who has a customer trying to boost a 4AGE, which has turned into a number of rebuilds, so he is familiar with it. Hes going to tear our motor down and give me an estimate for basic rebuild and if that isnt too much, Ill have him massage the ports a bit and maybe deck the head to increase compression a little...nothing crazy though because we still want to use the factory ECU.
All this soot is from leaking fuel injector seals.
The T-VIS system needs some cleaning. Toyotas version of Vtech keeps one of the two intake ports closed until 4,000 RPM. It looks like this was working, but its just filthy from the engine burning oil and the EGR system pumping that soot back through the intake.
Trans separated, definitely needs a clutch, the previous owner threw in a new one along with a light weight flywheel.
Off to the shop, its nice having a pickup truck
While we wait, were going to clean up all the parts that came off.
