Hello fellas. I' a newbie here and love this site. Excellent how-to's and info!It actually helped me rebuild my 87' 4x4 toyota 5spd.Thx fo sho
.
But anyhow here's my dilemma. I purchased a 91 Sammi for dirt cheap $500w/ 67,000+ orig.miles. Its still stock with 1.3 TBI. Got it running now, but runs like Sh!t and overheats. But anyway I hunt/guide alot in AZ and do some moderate 4x4 trail riding. I'm basically going from hunting spot to hunting spot in remote areas if I get this rig running.
IYO what should I do? Replace headgasket and keep that 1.3 and buy SPOA conversion and tires with money saved.
Whats the overall gain or cost effectiveness from swapping 1.3 to 1.6 8v. I know its about 20-30hp gain but is it worth all that effort,time and money? Thx and Happy Trails.
