My scout is a prime example there. But like Nick said, if it has oil pressure, good temp, the alternator is charging and the rest of the fluids are topped off.....give it hell. I do that everytime my scout leaves Murphy.Quote:

just an update.. been awhile...
got pretty much everything functional and running the same at all time with out any flaws.... main problem was i could not put gas in my truck because the EFI tank inlet was over too far to the right... so i cut it out and had nick abrase it over a little bit... sealed up fine and saved me from having to find another tank to work...
also here is a pic of how my truck looked weds after the meeting... and the next one is how it looked when i got up at 7 am thurs... needs a little armorall, vacuum and install stereo stuff and its pretty much done except for paint, brakes and a few seals... all which might be taken care of by monday... to go get it inspected... which it did pass... thanks john.

now it has insurance, plates, registration and inspection..... first time ive had a legal vehicle in 4 years... yelll yeah...... now im ready to drive it home for spring break
and yeah so tonight eric comes over to help me out with some last minute stuff before i have to leave tomorrow to SA. so we flush the radiator... for like an hour... making sure to get it nice and clear... and change oil and check over a bunch of little stuff just to make sure its ok for its mainden voyage...
and we decide "hey you have this really bad oil leak... **** it... lets just fix it now"... so after basically having to break into Advance right at 9 so we can geting the timing chain cover seal kit.. we get to the house and start tearing it down.. pulled and flushed radiator and motor, valve cover, PS, AC, water pump, oil pump, timing change cover, replaced guide, oil pan, and took off and cleaned oil pick up... cleaned all that up and replaced all the seals and gaskets... started at about 7:30 working... 10:00 on the seals.. and finished up with everything at 5:30. but its done and it works like a toyota boys dream. gonna get up at nine and start packing up all my stuff i need.
heres some pics of tonight.....

Thank you eric, travis, and sunshine for all the help tonight... took a little longer than expected, but we got a **** load done tonight and i feel like i have a real truck finally.....

Looks good. Have you had time to drive it? How well does the radiator cool it in town and on the highway?
Yotas are so much mo fun with a small block :cool:
