Heya folks,

I gots a little bit of time again and posting the damage I did to my poor little truck . So far I was able to bent the front somewhat back to make the head light shine ahead of me again instead of almost straight to the ground.
I bought the lash adjusters quite some time ago but have not found the time yet to pull the head cover off again and install them. The oil leaks I am finding are kind of holding me back waiting for the new seals ( That so far I have not even ordered yet.... )
These little trucks sure take some work when they are not maintained well. So far the engine still runs strong for having over 200k miles on it.
Still have to fix the EGR ( currently its blocked and thus running without ), the solonoid ports broke.

I got a question for you all. Should I just focus on replacing all the rubber seals on the block to stop the oil leak or should I do a full rebuild on it already. I know there is a small oil leak somewhere in at least one of the cylinders. Burns a little oil on start, not sure if it continues after that. I would like to keep this little one around for quite a few more 1000s of miles and keep it as my daily driver for quite some more years.

Time to go back to work for me, for now. See below for the damage of my running across a kamikaze rudolf, did not have a red nose.....
