zum - how much did your valve stem seals cost ya?
Click to expand...

From the dealer they're not cheap.

I bought a full toyota gasket kit and they were in there.

I did a search for 90913-02062 on Toyotaworld.com (Jeff Watson) and they were ~7 bux each.

I'd call him up and say supra in any way and get the discount and expedited service.

And i'd avoid dealing with local asshats at any dealers List is 8.66 and they usually sell parts for a little or a lot over list depending on where. ;)

LOL!

Get a vid of the damn smoke. I have a feeling your friends are steering you wrong! ;)

Go wide open then let off. If you have a lot of smoke when you let off then i'd consider chasing the valve seal issue down. If it's during a wide open pull and is light i wouldn't bother. If your cruising and give light throttle then it may be valve seals.

MattJK had a "big ass" smoke show when his valve seals were bad.

hmm.... makes me wonder why the cometic ones are only $11... LOL

i'll make some calls tomorrow and see whats going on, but im gonna do a leak down test before i buy anything, because if my rings are leaking, then im not going to bother buying all these fancy tools for nothing!



edit: yeah... defintaley going to make a video tomorrow... might go and do it tomorrow morning somewhere...
so far everybody has said thats it only under boost... so i honestly have no idea...

Tomorrow though... boost leak test, and a freakin leak down test, and then if both of those check out 100% then im going my valve stem seals.

Tell me where i can find a 37MM Throttle body for the supra.

I've bought numerous gaskets for my Z from them and had nothing but issues where i have to modify them. (but hell they're cheap and usually come with random leftovers.) For what it's worth great gaskets, poor R&D as of lately. ;)

But knowing what i know about valve stem seals you can't fail going with a cometic/failpro kit. Installation must be done properly as per the link i gave him earlier.

Also if the feltpro set says made in Japan or Malaysia it comes from the same factory as Stone/Ishino Aftermarket.

ok, maybe not the last plasce, but they're down there. If you really wanted the best shop I would have gone across the street from where you had it machined over at bell and gains. they've been "THE" race shop to go to for years now. If you couldn't get in there (they're usually booked for weeks) then I'd go to reddig brothers. they're assholes, but they do good work. (the owner dave is a major asshole. But that's another story for another day.)
I'm just getting off of work so I'll try to give you a call once I get home. (1 hr or so.)

On the 92 head they were red like the ones that come in the toyota kit. (viton)

On the 90 head they were black. My assumption is they're rubber and there was an update. ;)
