Brandon's Build

[BrandonW]

its weird how the gasket set says

part name: head gasket set

models: toyota crown yr22

engine: 4y-ec 2237cc 4cyl (has the straight 6 hg in there lol)

years: 1985~

anything to worry about?

looks to be the right set so i shouldn't have any problem i just thought that was weird, i got it from a2 so i should have no problems (and yes i will be getting a mhg)

good updates! i wanna see you car with those rims =D i had lowering springs would of been perfect .

 

[BrandonW]

i don't know if it will fit good though lol i did 9.5 all around with the stock height there is no rubbing but lowered there may be a little not sure but money has to be spent else where at this time, car is feeling a little weak im at 210,000+ miles

 

[BrandonW]

uh oh the 7.5 fuse is back

well the one that controls the windows ac and dash was working for about at least 2 weeks if not more

and today when i was leaving for work i didn't have those things and the fuse was blown, again before leaving work so i put another one in

and does anyone know where (if this is a good enough description) a red wire goes in there that plugs into the fuse box or whatever its called there is a green wire and i think the red one plugs in right under it

nice build.. this car is definately in great hands!

P.S. tell your friend and his uncle to torque the head to like 65-70 LBS if using stock bolts.

The car looks really good, especially with those rims.

I'm curious as to why you've decided not to lower the car. Is it because of scraping issues? :biglaugh:

well i dd my car and i know some dd their supra and lower it

but i don't want to worry about scraping i do get a little bit of rubbing on hard dips because of my rims, my exhaust and i really like the way my car looks without being lowered so i just never really planned on it

oh and the radiator i got is a 3 row

when buying a replacement heater core would it be best to buy a toyota unit (of course way more expensive) or would i be ok just getting a autozone unit?
any differences?

and is there anything else i should replace with it that has to do with the heater core? of course i would only want it to be a one time job
