Little Red (1996 Geo Tracker)

I used this one on mine:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W82414G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

It lists jaw opening specs as well for reference.
It has worked well for me on 16v heads and 8v heads.

That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Just going to source it from another place. My Amazon orders are total bust sometimes.

Decided to tear into the alternator tonight and get it cleaned while waiting for tools and parts.

Those Indian mechanics are rubbing off on me. Was going to buy a new one for the rebuild, but said screw it. This thing is filthy.

Now you have to make a new one on a sketchy lathe in flip flops then weld some shit with the ground running through the lathe turret.

Might as well hammer some sketchy stuff, too.

When we become a 3rd world country those videos will be gold.

Alternator is all cleaned and back together.

Bottom end of the block is all back together.

Now working on the head.

Well, I took and used a slight bit of grinding compound on the valves to clean the seats up all nice and shiny. Intake side offered zero issues re-sealing. Exhaust side all leak. So, I bought new exhaust valves and back to the machine shop it goes, because I cannot lap those new valves in to save my life.

In the meantime I’m pulling the 95’ drivetrain with 115k miles on it that runs well and tossing it in this. I’ll get the motor I just rebuilt all clean and every bracket and stuff painted so it’ll be ready to go in whatever, whenever I need it. I want this on the road sooner, rather than later. It’ll be a good little gas saver.
