Well I was trying to stop it before it lifts the car up but theres also gonna be a point where it starts loading the bolts again before even lifting the car up at all. I guess basically what your telling me is to use my judgement. I was just wondering if there was some easier way of telling...

I have done that. I was actually meaning to ask you guys about that though. How do I know how much to lift it up before I start loading the mounts again with the weight of the actual car hanging from the cherry picker. I was trying to unload it but then it got to a point where it started...

So i was able to somehow get the nuts off from the top with minimal effort. I don't what changed since yesterday other than my frustration level. Either way the nuts are now off. But...I can't get the bolts out. Will prying work to just pop them through or does unscrewing it work well...

It was the drive belt idler pulley. Someone mentioned the crank pulley bolt a while ago. I tried to tighten it and after putting some serious torque on it, it did get a little tighter, but the noise didn't go away at all. The engine is coming out and apart anyway. I'll know soon enough if...

So a while ago before i starting trying to pull this engine I heard what sounded like rod knock. I was doubting it was rod knock because i didn't hear it when i bought the car from the guy and it hadn't run since then so i figured it couldn't develop like that. Anyway i pulled spark to every...

I can't get straight to it though. If i jack up the suspension will the A arm swing out enough for me to get straight at it?

That sounds like a lot of work...is there no easier way?

I'm so close to getting this freaking engine out but I can't get the bolts out of the engine mounts. The combination of them being torqued too much and in too dificult a spot to get to is making it impossible to get them out. I tried using a breaker bar and a u-joint socket extension through...

I'll check the keyway on my next break from school. I would do it now but I have to get a puller and I'm going back to school tomorrow. Is there any chance that you can have rod knock even without combustion in the cylinder that has the knocking rod. And if it's piston slap would i have to...

It's a manual. I just replaced the belt and the noise is still there. How quickly could piston slap develop?

So i'm new to the supra community. I just bought an 87 turbo and upon first starting it up there was immediately a knocking sound. I was with my friend's dad at the time and his friend who was convinced it was rod knock. I felt otherwise because the sound was not there when I heard the engine...
