    my 89 7mgte build up thread!

    Im glad you said that John. I was thinking the same thing about the size of the line. But I needed someone to back up my theory.:icon_bigg And yes I did shim my oil pump. I think I went 5mm if I remember correctly. I will double check the 30w oil that I bought to make sure its API SF rated...

    my 89 7mgte build up thread!

    Well I bought castrol 30W for the rest of the 500. I used walmart brand supertech 10w30 for the break in. Im using spin on adaptor to feed the dual filter and oil cooler. Running through -10 oil lines. I know I have read -8 is plenty but I wanted good flow. I used supertech filters. I was...

    I pretty much followed that article to the tee except I used 10w30 not straigth 30w. I will get straight 30w for the rest of the 500 mile break in. The multigrade wouldnt have hurt anything im assuming? Well the kids and I just got back from the break in drive. It was pretty exciting...

    I know you recommend 30 weight oil. Any particular brand or does it matter since its dino oil. Also are you totally against running 40 weight especially break in. I know I have read many oil threads where you dont believe 40W is necessary. The reason I ask is that I have a bunch of 40W...

    Thanks everyone! And you are absolutely correct Shy. It is an awesome feeling to have this motor even start let alone run so far. Im not getting to confident yet. Maybe after it has several hundred miles on it I will feel a little better. And I cant wait to go to a meet! John I agree. I...

    My restoration project - Rusty 89

    Everything looks awesome. That steering wheel is black correct? It kinda looks navy blue. Did you get the new buttons from Toyota? How much? What exactly did they do to the horn pad? Cover it?

    ok update time. Like I said before. All my resistances check out on the pins. But no ticking when I shut the motor down. I didnt detach it from the intake but separated the electronics from the base like I did when I cleaned it. Sealing was not the issue as I was thinking. I checked the...

    my 89 7mgte build up thread!

    When you say good IDL signal from the TPS. Im assuming you are referring to all the resistances in the TSRM associated with the IDL pin are good correct? Or is there another way I should be checking the signal? Everything checked out according to the TSRM. I did follow the article you sent...

    my 89 7mgte build up thread!

    I mean the pins from top to bottom are not the same in the pic as on the car. The pic in my manual sais that E2 is on the top when its on the bottom. You have to compare the tabs on the plug to realize this. Besides that you had be second guessing myself, AGAIN, so I went to readjust my TPS...
