Diagnosis Confirmed
Posted On 10/21/2008 04:16:36 by mesarius
I was out back tearing apart my old 4G63 block and tranny that has been laying in my back yard since last summer when I pulled it out since I actually had the time for once.  Pulled off the transfer case, separated the engine and transmission, removed the torque converter and started ripping into the block.  The oil pump is off, so are all of the pulleys and I started on the water pump but I ran out of sunlight.  One of the main things I did was pull off the oil pan and pop out th...

Blog Five: It lives!

Today was the big day.  We cracked at it for maybe four hours and got the Talon running.  Sorry guys but I didn't get a video of the first start up, however I can tell you that it only took 30 seconds of fuel system priming and four crank attempts to get it started.  I took it out for a drive and it drives beautifully.  It hits fuel cut or misfires or something if you floor it and one of the drive shaft bushings needs replacing, but otherwise this is the best it has ever run....
