He left out one of the washers and he's doing it the hard way...

It'll work, it'll just run like crap and the AFM will quickly fair from oil vapor. Blow through always sucks (or should I say blows....)

This shows it a bit more clearly. 31264A is the cone washer, the raised center (put it flat on a table and you'll see what I mean) should face 31264. The other way around won't preload the assembly and keep it tight. Then it goes through the pressure plate and through the throwout bearing...

I know it, but it's hard to explain :rofl: I knew I should have taken pics last time I did it, but I was rushed a bit...

The good thing is, most of them are now build to last 100K miles. The issue, is that they don't last much longer. Good example is a brake job. Used to be fairly often and you just swapped the pads and maybe cut the rotors. Now they last a hell of a lot longer, but you have to replace the...

Next test, pressurize your cooling system. Pin hole leak will cause a loss of pressure causing localized boiling causing rapid pressure rise.

Boost leak...

Because they do it properly and go multiplate.

Rear main is pulled without unbolting that plate that holds it (unless you like redoing the oil pan gasket as well)

Not lower than a stock 89+ Don't ask me how I know...

The image isn't too clear here, but if you have a real TSRM it's pretty clear: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=CL&P=14 The second image down, they're showing to install the washer correctly. It's slanted like a flatter "/" Do not put it in the other way "\" as...

Be sure to reassemble the throwout bearing assembly properly. If it's not, the snap rings will fail and you have to pull the transmission to fix it. If you're really anal, you can replace all the washers and snap rings in the assembly.

If it sat that long, you might have a rusty tank. Will very quickly clog the sock on the fuel pump.

1UZ starter :) It's under the intake manifold. Not terribly hard to do, just annoying as hell to have to pull the intake manifold.

Yep, it's Bentley. Notice the wheels are half the total height of the car :)

Another bad one... We have a shop reviews section here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?53-Shop-reviews

Can usually get to it by removing the intercooler and/or bumper

No, they're bolted to the subframe, not the car. I've had to work on those pieces of shit before (specificly the motormounts that kept failing...) Still easier. Now the starter....

Was it Bentley or Rolls that said that a car should never be any taller than twice the size of the wheels. Hence why they went with rediculous sizes on their newest cars. Side impact and pedestrian safety standards definately are having an effect...
