    getting it started after head job.

    If you throttle up while pulling codes you will autothrow a 51. Disconnect the battery for a few minutes and pull codes again. Don't hit the throttle till you remove the jumper wire and see if you still have the 51. If you do you may have a tps issue. If you don't think you're internals...

    head torque

    If all instructions were right we would be torquing these things to 59lbs and calling it good. One of you says the head can bend at the stud you're tightening and one of you says it won't. If I were a complete nube. I'd say someone is full of it. But I know niether of you are. Well...

    head torque

    I'm not sure I follow, nor am I seeking conflict. But if you're going to the same torque spec. at the end of the tweaking. How does it put less force on the head by going lower reps and a higher torque spec with each pass? Just the duration of time it takes to do the entire sequence...

    head torque

    Yes. Above 60 is your friend. I took my ARP studs to 85lbs. The 1st session. I'm going to 90lbs on my retorque. Now to be fair. Some people say it depends on the head gasket used as well. I don't think you would hear too many people say below 70lbs.

    head torque

    I guess it depends on how high you want to go. I wouldn't skip 20lbs at a time. IMO, that's too far a reach between stopping points. It could lead to a premature retorque. The more reps you have, in theory. The better it will hold. Try skipping in 10 and 5 lbs reps. It seriously...

    Brake Lines

    I think it's a bad move to just assume the dealership is higher on everything you need priced. I'm a firm believer in toyota oem parts on things that cheap local parts houses shouldn't be trusted with. This is a job you can do yourself. Think twice and wrench once...

    fans supposed to run after engine is shut off?

    Well hell. That's nearly 5lbs. off the nose. I wasn't sure if they were even working or not. I never scoped them out before the tear down. And did away with the ac, during that time period. I knew they weren't working and, if they were. I knew they weren't right. I'm happy to pull...

    curious about the TEMS

    I also went with tokicos'. They aren't on yet. But they were reasonably priced. lol. I also looked at the konis and just couldn't nut that much up. For the same price I got the tokicos and eibach springs. I'm saving up for a new rack and stuff when I grow up.

    Without looking it up. Is the center support bearing the same thing as a carrier bearing? Is that what you guys are going on about? Toyota is expensive on those things.
