For reference, this was done by a very well respected member of the camry community. Original thread with additional info here: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t79255.html Obviously not a supra, so keep that in mind:

the two i watched, the drivers seem less than experienced. Good concept but they need to pick better representatives (of the forums) it looks like.

So that would be today....so....what are the results? :)

x2 Nice find. Sawblades or not, finding them in new condition is nearly impossible (unless you buy them from toyota new, if they're even available), especially for free.

easy way to check the isc is listen for a clicking noise shortly after you turn off the engine. If you hear it, its more than likely working. For a more in depth check refer to TSRM for checking proper resistances and testing its functionality.

Ive stressed this idea a long time ago in several threads. I don't know of anyone else suggesting the idea on this forum though for use in our cars. Not my own idea either, but i know the concept works thanks to some time I spent on a camry forum an even longer time ago. CSI isn't all that...

Is your PS res in stock location?

Well, you're going to have to be more specific than that. Explain the noises. Bubbles typically mean your fluid level is too low.

I was in a way, but i wasn't. I already KNEW i had to pull the head. All I was trying to figure out was WHY. I thought I made this very clear when I asked originally, instead I get my head bitten off, but whatever. I now understand why it needs to be done thanks to the picture, so i'm satisfied.

This is all I needed to see since the beginning now i understand.

Once again you're looking too far into this, all I did was ask why becase I didn't understand what exactly it seals. I never said I wouldn't remove the head, it's been my plan since your first post.

I can see why it would be an issue on the oil side to not seal I just don't understand the head side if it doesn't sealing. If it doesn't seal on the head side does water flow through that area or something? I don't understand what the head side sealing with the rear timing plate actually seal.

are they going to hiss violently at me every time i approach them this time like the gaboon?

Would someone be willing to explain WHY the head must be removed for this job. I know the head clamps down onto the rear plate (i've never seen one off) but I would imagine it only clamps down on a small amount, so why wouldn't it be able to just slide off once the rear plate is unfastened from...

^honestly, i'm afraid to use anything other than toyota gaskets (minus HG of course) now for the parts i'm dealing with. I believe the gasket used on my rear seal was felpro, based on the material I pulled from it, and after reading other peoples horror stories with the felpro gaskets used in...

I've recently come into some money, old life insurance policy I discovered while moving. Since this is a stopper gasket (best out there i'm aware of) would it be better to just reuse it or just by a new middle of the road (non stopper) HG and sell the used one i have (given its in good...

Im quite surprised and disappointed with the spool time this turbo is showing, hopefully this is only a WG issue

its tomorrow.............. ;)

IJ, i've been browsing through that thread among a couple others. For you and maybe you know for some of the others, did you and anyone else resurface the head or is resurfacing not needed for a situation like this, or maybe case by case. If case by case, what should I be looking for? Also, what...
