Re: 4JG2 Bent Pushrod / Head Gasket Rebuild Advice

Awe I think I gambled and lost... <img alt=":(" src="\images\46081\9dbf1b09-8fc4-4c76-9a58-de18ffb8fde6.gif" title="Sad"/>... I got it started and I have to have my foot on the gas to get it going. Once running it's a dog and knocks and smells like diesel and smokes something fierce. When I take my ...

Re: 4JG2 Bent Pushrod / Head Gasket Rebuild Advice

Hi Geeves,

Yesw I used the primer till it was stiff. And it does push diesel through to the other side. Which injector line should I crack first?

Re: 4JG2 Bent Pushrod / Head Gasket Rebuild Advice

Ok... new engine I'm taking a chance on installed! That didn't take long lol. EGR delete too. How the heck do I prime the diesel system? I used the lift pump and cranked it for a bit but nothing is coming out the back of the pump. I made sure the solendoid is getting 12V and can hear it click. I ...

Re: 4JG2 Bent Pushrod / Head Gasket Rebuild Advice

Ah yup. I think mine is just for petrol. I'll try and track one down. I should be able to do it with the engine out and just turning it over by hand eh? I was doing that today after pressure washing it and then putting diesel in the cylinders to line the inside with diesel and it was making a smokey ...

Re: 4JG2 Bent Pushrod / Head Gasket Rebuild Advice

Ok... scored an untested engine for real cheap from a wrecker. At worst case I can sell the diesel pump to get my money back and harvest the pushrods, cam and followers if it's no good. Or even the shortblock. It has has some rain go into it though in the past 2 days as the injectors were taken out ...

Re: 4JG2 Bent Pushrod / Head Gasket Rebuild Advice

Cool cool. At the moment rad is out and it's pretty empty in there. I was thinking remove the cam belt, as I'm going to change it, then pull the followers out the top? Or is that not how it works. I thought take them out the top, then remove cam belt and pull the cam out the front and inspect. I don ...

Re: 4JG2 Bent Pushrod / Head Gasket Rebuild Advice

Choice man, yeah I was thinking of getting a set of pushrods from ebay but it'll take a while. I haven't checked the followers, thought they were hydrolic lifters but guess I'll see when I pop them out <img alt=":)" src="\images\45696\64e54a49-1f0f-427a-9ac7-eb56f563acb5.gif" title="Smile"/> I have ...
