ive called every dealer in town. all said no

If you remember what those tools are lmk please!

i have a full shop at my disposal lol. I have 2 presses, several pair of snap ring pliers, and a camera and a pen and pad for a memory.

Cool that will help thanks

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.

Ok, thats exactly what i was thinking. when the headgasket comes in ill put the head on and then install the cams and check clearancing.

Cams are good, just ran emery cloth over them so they're nice and smooth.

oops vforgot to ask the question of the post- should i just turn the cams and check clearance? this is the first time ive had to do this if you cant tell.

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.

Alright ill give a shot. Hopefully it'll work.

So I get my head back from the machine shop today. Shaved .22 off, so I ordered my 2mm headgasket. Took the head out of the car and set it on the trunk deck. Still in the bag and everything. Friend comes by to check it out. I'm at the front of the car getting stuff together and I hear...

In for pics of girl in need of fake boobs

:/ gross. Ill stick with a real motor :D

Cute collie, how old is it? I have 2 six month old border collies.

Ooo I'm rebuilding due to rod knock as well. I have no clue what in getting into, but I am hoping to get myself a nice line from the bank too :)

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.

We're taking over! Except my teardown has begun. Hoping to be finished by TX2k9. Kinda a close call though.

Nobody knows huh?

Well, running the car with that jumper wire was probably not the best idea. I didn't realize it at the time, but with that wire, that's so much resistance to the pcm. Let's hope the pcm didn't fry.
