    Rebuilding R154- Special Service Tools?

    The tsrm calls for 3 differerent sst's to rebuild the r154. Are these just basic tools I can buy from the store? I called toyota and they said they are for tech use only and wouldn't give me any info on them. I'd really like to start on this build but I need the tools apparantly.

    The TSRM goes through checking the clearances with the motor together, where the crank can just be rotated to move the cams. i just have the head by itself, the block is still down for the build.

    Moving to Houston next summer

    If you move to the western side, live west of beltway 8. The area is MUCH nicer than inside the beltway. The drive to downtown wouldn't be too bad either, because they're getting close to finished the Katy tollway and opening up several lanes on I-10.

    No because all I'm doing right now is tearing everything apart. And it wouldn't be a very sloooooooow process. I have no money right now lol.
