    Hi brother, thanks to your video my geo tracker is alive again, last week I had the same problem and after searching for information for many hours I found your video, and today my geo tracker is working again. You deserve a tequila from me, regards since Chihuahua, México my friend

    This is the story of so many of my car repairs. I have often found parts left over once I thought the job was done, and I had to start over too. All of that wasted time is forgiven once the engine fires.

    This video was a huge help my first time doing timing for the distributor on my tracker. Thanks!

      @@LilBJessup i agree. My problem was i was one tooth off. It would either not start or start up then die after a couple seconds. Your video got me there, re-stabbed it now its back in action. I watched all your tracker videos, and i’m doing a lot of the same repairs/upgrades you did and they’ve been really helpful. Not a lot of people with these anymore. Do you still have yours? I was gonna ask for some advice if that’s cool but hadn’t seen any recent uploads on it

      @@LilBJessup ah cool I’ll check it out! I wanted to ask what tires you have on it and if you did a lift or not? I need new ones so i wanted to upgrade to something wider with no lift to offset the high center point of gravity and give me some more stability. Plus bigger tires look cooler. Any recommendations?

    Just a curious question. I see you replaced most of your vacuum lines. Do you by chance have a diagram or an idea of all the hose sizes that you have replaced? Sweet build!

    • @LilBJessup
      @LilBJessup  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I had to take the head to a machine shop anyways to get the valves and seats recut, so since it was already there I gave him the go ahead to do it. I was curious if it did have a leak because coolant would slowly be burnt away but I couldn't find the leak. I did it more for the insurance of not having to do it again.
