http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=EM&P=32 Is there a special gasket that goes between the cylinder head, the no. 3 cylinder head cover, or the big bolts that secure the no. 3 cylinder head cover? Mine has nothing but 3 bare metal surfaces. Is this an oil...

got pics?

I am finding two different torque specs for the crank pulley bolt. 115-ish' lbs and then 195' lbs. What should I torque it to?

Hehehehe.... thanks for the ride buddy!

Speaking of this, are there alternative thermostat outlets to use so that the timing cover can be taken off without tampering with the cooling system

Yes, I am referring to that no.2 timing cover. Pardon the confusion.

After some inspection and pondering about how I can cut up the back plate so I can insert it behind the cam gears and belt... that idea failed so I put that effort into getting that darn pulley bolt off. Let's just say it took the engine/trans to be connected, a biiiiiiig breaker bar and my 2...

Haha, thanks guys!

Hi, been trying to search this but all I find are for sale or build threads... My question is, why do people drive without the upper timing cover? Am I the only paranoid person that fears rocks getting down into the belt area? The engine I'm about to drop in my car doesn't have the back plate...

Yesterday: located and purchased auto trans cooler lines for $25!

Thank you.

When you say "finish everything" are you referring to applying an "inner" bead and then moving onto an "outer" bead or applying more somewhere after putting the pan on? Is it better to apply the fipg onto the block or onto the oil pan?

A continuous bead the whole way around is better than smearing an even coat with your finger?

Does the fipg only come in a tube like the gasket maker? there's no good gasket to use or a pre-formed silicon gasket? I don't want to put too little or too much. I want an even layer in all the right places. Thanks for the heads up on the cork gasket and autozone bought rtv silicon gasket maker.

I replaced the oil pan gasket today. There was only a layer of gasket maker and it looked like it was leaking on the front part just a tiny bit already. LOL Do you prefer oil pan gasket or no oil pan gasket?

Washed the transmission. ---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ---------- How are you going to hook those up?

Dude, you are the MAN. :thumbup:

Thank you very much guys!

I couldn't find the tsrm even with the search! Thanks! I have a book but no torque specs on that plate so I went off a "general" bolt torque sheet that said that bolt can do 28lbs torque.... Doh... Haha Thank you Sir.

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of swapping engines on my 88 7mgte and couldn't get the crank bolt busted with the engine out of the car. I'm already feeling like time is wasting, because I prefer to replace as many seals and gaskets that I can with the engine out. The engine is said to be freshly...
