brake best remanufactured aisin unit

Yes correct. (well remanufactured) I'll double check the one way valve.

Hey guys i have an 87 mk3. 2 weeks ago i lost braking power, did some tests and ruled out that my brake booster was bad. I ended up replacing both the brake booster and brake master cylinder, when everything was put back together and ready to be bled, I gave the pedal a couple pumps and I...

i am glad i took the time to crack open the oil pan, i found the thrust bearing at the bottom of the oil pan. any idea what would cause this? its been a while since i did a rebuild on the motor, what exactly would be my next step?

Here are a couple more pictures of the motor. I popped off the valve covers and can't seem to figure out if the camshafts are stock or not.

UPDATE: Motor looks to have ARP studs, would it be a good idea to do a re-torque on them? I'll be replacing gaskets all over the motor due to a crappy rtv job. for some reason, the oil dip stick was missing, so ill be opening up the oil pan just to double check.

Im going to open up the oil pan to redo the gasket job the previous owner did. would it be a good idea to re-torque anything on the bottom end?

update: performed a cylinder leak down test on the motor. Cylinders 1-4 have about a 5- 10% leak Cylinders 5/6 have a 10-15% leak (does this seem normal?) Any input on this? Also, since the motor is on an engine stand the cylinder leak test was NOT done warm.

I have been told the motor has oversized pistons, would i possibly run into any problems with that in terms of smogging the vehicle? i haven't gotten the chance to perform a leak down test on the motor yet but are there any other tests you guys recommend me doing? (besides compression)

hmm.. I do have a pair of camshafts in my garage that i could just throw on.

Wouldn't I have to get the head machined for the camshafts though? I would probably have to use some plastigage and measure the clearance though I assume?..

I'll snap a couple pics of the injectors when I get a chance.

Hello everyone, So I recently acquired a built 7mgte. Has: A larger turbo (not sure about the specs at the moment) Adjustable cam sprockets/gears Bigger injectors (not sure on the cc but they're definitely not stock) I haven't pulled off the valve covers yet to see what the camshafts...

thanks for the input guys

how do i get around fuel cut the proper way?
