Looking good!
Now spray enough brake cleaner down that hose to clean out the oil separator.
OK. Whenever an oil pump can't get enough fluid on its inlet side, cavitation occurs (when oil cant flow into the pump fast enough to match pump’s intake volume, air is pulled out of the oil... typically 9% of oil is air).
The flip side is that foamy oil isn't *always* from cavitation. You can also get foamy oil from aeration... maybe exhaust gas blowing into an oil chamber.
The head gaskets are good, so the only way the exhaust should be able to teach the crank case would be past the rings, right? Those are good too. The bore looks brand spanking new and my compression tests out good.
Changed the driver's side hub in order to address an ABS sensor error. The old hub was well and truly stuck in there and took a LOT of encouragement to come out. The last remaining warning light (brake) on the dash is gone!
Now I just have to wait to see if I messed up the oil seal and have to open it up again to replace that.
Started putting engine together yesterday.
Hope to finish assembling it this week, and get it back in, motor mounts and torque converter bolted up next weekend.
Went for a swim a couple days ago and dislodged a door seal. Cab filled with quite a bit of water. Dug into what was causing some transmission and radio/speaker issues today. Found my Amplifier and Transmission Control Unit wet and caked with mud. Opened up the Amp to find about a pound of mud caked to the electrical board. Can't open the TCU, but tried cleaning the plug and re-plugging it... no dice. I am assuming a fair bit of water got in, along with mud. Have both units removed and used parts ordered... crossing my fingers this is the solution!
Did a little more work on the sleeping platform. Added a black cover material, gives it a bit more finished look and covers screw heads (that could puncher sleeping matts).
Finished fitting end cap pieces that are in the rear seat area.
Platform laid out.
Been trying to find a spot for the potable water, started to remove rear storage compartment...but stopped after removing lid. Dropped container down inside, perfect fit.
Did a little creative cutting in the lid to accommodate the height of the container.
Need to find some sort of channel type material to finish off the ends of the platform closes to the seats. Just stapled right now, but this is just temporary.
