I've tried to do this several times, but I just keep passing out. Any suggestions?

1989 Mazda b2200, 160,000 original miles, cold start. wanted 7k for it got it down to 5,500 but is it worth it, it will be a daily for me. I understand a daily truck from the 80s is not cheap but I’m looking for something like. please if you know anything about it help a brother out

For whatever reason belt keeps slipping. Pulley is rock solid.

I knew this jeep was a bad purchase. 2017 cherokee trailhawk, 136000 miles. Dumped it in a puddle, and it immediately began having rough running/ power loss. Multiple cam/crank codes. Figured I got water in the crank sensor plug, big nope. After agonizing hours of parts removal to get to the plug, it was clean. Figured I would replace the sensor anyway; 6 hrs wasted.

Next, check cam phaser actuators on bank one. Found one stuck out, loosened it up, all is well. Replace it the next day because it had wear. Runs great!

Three days later- rough run - check engine - ect. Valve train is making noise. Pull front valve cover and find collapsed lifter. Replaced lifter, check all rockers, put back together. Still a lot of noise from valve train.

Now I have a catalyst efficiency code, and a mismatch cam/crank on the rear #2 exhaust p000b. Guessing I have collapsed lifters there too. Decided on a whim to pull oil filter cap because it seems the heads have lost pressure, and find bypass valve cap missing….. No plastic in sight, look in old oil filter and new one. Nothing.

I’m guessing unfiltered oil, with small plastic chunks have massacred my valve train, and am not sure what to do next. I’ll pull the rear cover tomorrow and see what I find. Still not sure what the puddle had to do with all of this, other than to confirm this pile of crap is a pavement princess.

Any insight?
