Vehicle Detail
1994 Chevy S10 with blown engine. We got this truck from a lady in our church so that we could fix it for her. We found that the timing chain had broken and damaged the oil pan. We repaired the oil pan, put on a new timing chain, new clutch and new starter all to find out that the engine had no compression. Our intent was to fix it up for her and give it back since she lives on social security. Once we found the engine had no compression, we weren't able to muster the cash to replace it. She has decided to sell the truck for parts. After research on the internet, I found that a problem exists with these Isuzu gas engines that they blow the compression rings if the timing chain goes. Apparently the engine backfires and blows the rings if the timing chain gets loose and jumps teeth. Anyway, there are a lot of good parts on the truck and we are going to give the lady who owns the truck all of the proceeds from this sale. I know I put about $400 in parts on this truck before we determined that it needed the new engine. Body is not the best, tailgate is damaged and doors show damage. Clear coat on top is peeling. Interior is in pretty good shape except for a tear on the drivers side seat (seats are cloth). As I mentioned, it has a new clutch, timing chain and starter that have never been used but are installed. As far as I know there is nothing wrong with the 5 speed transmission. Good project for anyone who has an engine that will fit or someone whoe needs a truck for parts. Tires are not in good shape. Sold as-is, where is. If you are not local, you will need to arrange transportation on your own.
