    head removal

    Yeah this is definately going to span several weeks. I wanted to get it torn down quick like but after I think about it, I don't have NEARLY all the money needed so there is no rush. I've already taken off a lot though and have stuck most of the bolts and unfamiliar pieces in bags and labeled...

    head removal

    Is there a simpler walkthrough of the cylinder head removal of a 7mge than the TSRM? I have started this undertaking and thought I would be able to take off the intake manifold without removing the upper plenum and throttle body from it but the TSRM says you have to take every little thing...

    vacuum line question...

    I am trying to fix up an 87 MKIII I bought recently and I've noticed the vacuum lines aren't exactly... correct. The chart on the hood shows the vacuum line from the canister going to a valve of some kind on my thermostat housing, then from there to my throttle body. Whatever that valve is, it...

    Hey all

    New to the site. I own a naturally aspirated 87 Supra. Trying to work some bugs out of it. The previous owners were morons so I'm having to "unrig" a lot of stuff. I do already know about the TSRM though so you impulsive responders don't have to say it, LOL. JK. I just corrected the idle...
