Pinging can do alot of damage quickly. Pull the plugs, hopefully they're screwed up as that's the cheapest thing. Other things include broken rings or pistons.

pull the plugs and inspect them, bad gas may have messed with them
Toyota kids: Inner axle upgrade options for 27 spline birfs? I thought poly made some but I can't find them on the website. Is Longfield the only one any more?
maybe TG. i know they came out with 'dirty thirties' and have chromoly 27 spline outers. but dont know on inners.Quote:

I looked around and it really looks like other than longfield no one sells just upgraded inners, and they are like 100 a piece which seems to be a good deal if you never have to replace it again.Quote:

long story short.
pulled plugs they are fine
****ty gas=misfires=partly ****ed headgasket=water in cylinders=burned o2 plugs=crappy idle
going to drain and try block sealant then new o2 and new fuel filter. see how it runs. Make sense to anyone else?
I wouldnt **** around with block sealant on a DD...
That's some really ****ty gas, or really hard driving to blow a head gasket. Where did you buy said gas?
I bought the gas at the ****ty gas station in clayton. not the big one near where david o and rodney rented the house, the one between the pizza video store and the AA.
I think pushing the truck to pull the jeep for two hours of pinging did it in.
blue devil is like 50 bones and great at sealing blocks, alot of shops use it. not cheap but good stuff
Are all Saginaw pumps created equal?
I have two pumps in my shop and neither one is a simple bolt in to replace the one from the waggie. Both require me to swap out the studs on the back of the pump for the studs from the waggie pump. I just want to know if different models were either better or worse.
Also who makes good wheel spacers that don't make tires fall off? I need a set of front 5 on 5.5's if I decide to put high steer on the waggie.
isn't your wagoneer 6 lug?
Nope waggie axles went in the trash when I first started building it.
They are not all created equal. Some have higher flow rates than others. I really don't think the flow rate matters though, as you should always have enough. Maybe if you have hydro assist or something.
It's hard to swap the studs?
Are you sure its the gas? I ask because probably half the people the TAMOR bought gas there and you are the only one that had any issues (that I know of).Quote:

It was acting like it was buring something it didn't like. You could feel it slow and chug then hear it ping for a min or two under heavy acceleration. Then it would be fine and have plenty of balls, and the light would turn off. This repeated for about an hour. I hope a meth head didn't add anything 'special' to my tank. I parked off a ways from others at sardis and right next to that major hwy. No lock on tank door or cap. Now it runs ****ty under idle but doesn't ping. Aboutto fire it up after flushing, block sealant, new o2, new fuel filter. Will let you know how it does.
yes it has individual coils on each plug. I pulled 5 and 7 which were misfiring and the plug, coil, and boot all looked fine.Quote:

i have a pump that still has the v8 waggy bracket on it if you can figure out how to get it. i am coming to the west side of houston in a day or two.

Ok. I had previously said that I had pulled 5 and 7 but didn't pull 4 because its a bitch to get to. Well I am an idiot, and am the first to admit it. Pulled it and found the picture below. Am also going to pull the remaining 5 plugs that didn't trip codes, just to be sure.
I still think it was **** in the gas so fuel filter was still necessary. I still think it ****ed with my headgasket because coolant smelled burnt and was dripping out the exhaust. So block sealant, o2 sensors and coolant flush/refill was still necessary.
What damage will that blown plug cause? What about the remaining bits of metal from it in the cylinder? Need some advice on preventative action.
wow. not sure what to tell you other than, diagnose first, then replace parts.
That's one of the things pinging does. Replace all the plugs. And next time it starts pinging, let off.
I would also drain the oil/block seal and replace with just fresh oil. Maybe some lucas fuel treatment in the tank too.
reminds me of the baja jeep. timing was too advanced and it roasted plugs. i dont think camo knows what a ping sounds like.
camo doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. he is the definition of tool, so that doesnt suprise me.Quote:

this isn't gonna get spark plug parts out of the cylinder. Might be worth getting a scope down in there and make sureQuote:

I'm not going to argue that your radar is far off, but I will add that all of those guys were cooler than I expected.
I can believe that, it's just the way he talkes(replies) to people, no respect at all. not someone I would ever do any kind of business with, no red star for me
replaced the #4 plug and no change in behavior. Still idles crappy and vibrates until 2k before smoothing out. Also can hear pinging/ticking occuring on the passanger side, so cylinders 1-4. Could a spark plug blowing up like that damage the coil? I don't want to drop $50 on a coil to find out it isn't the culprit. Any suggestions? A code reader would definently come in handy right about now.
you can always return the coil if it isnt the reason for the sound
Why are you set on not replacing all the plugs? You either killed plugs or the motor. The only ignition parts pinging could hurt are the plugs, as they are the only ones that see combustion pressure. You really probably screwed the pistons or head gaskets. Imagine combustion violent enough to do what it did to that one plug. The others were subjected to that same violence.
the other plug weren't misfiring and had no visible damage. I can replace them but why would they be the problem if they weren't misfiring? I'm not against it, just didn't think it was necessary. Should I replace them all?
Spark plugs prolly cost 20 bucks. I would do that then you can rule that out as a problem. Also you could swap coil packs from the good side if you don't wanna buy a new one.
So what companies make decent( tire not falling off)wheel spacers.
