yeah its toyota form in place gasket tube

Yeah for like the 2 days I was waiting on parts after I got it back I ran a air compressor all over and inside before going to bed. There wasn't much debree and nothing to scale like the shavings in my oil pan/ pump pickup. I also changed oil and filters 3 times from then. (2 months ago) I set...

I'm sorry I didn't see your post earlier. It looks to be aluminum since its very shiny/malleable and curly. I machined the head/block with the rear timing. I did forget to fipg the front of the block though. I decided to slow down and replace things that needed replacing the first time...

It could of been tighter imho. Do any of you guys use a device to measure the tension?

Why would you take your car to a shop if you're going to be watching? You might as well do it on your own since its taking your time being there. Right? I have heard this a lot but never understood it... I understand if it's me and I dunno a lot and I want to learn so I watch but others that...

Yeah really... my buddy was there and he has a 6 cyl mustang and he was like "FUCKKKKK.... Brian has a faster car than me...." he always thought his 6cyl 01 pony was the best cause he has a nice custom exhaust bullit wheels and bored out his throttle body..... Anyways my timing belt is...

Effff that you even gave them the hoses and they couldn't even tighten it down....??? So all they did was connect it.. There seems to be a inferiority complex with mechanics at shops thinking they can rush things because their experience exceeds their own expectations... I've seen this a lot and...

Yeah I plan on measuring the gears in the oil pump in the tsrm and wouldn't new thrust washers to spec fix the oil clearance?

Haha thanks dude I feel a lot better now. :biglaugh:. If I don't know what I'm doing from personal experience and have to rely on something I always freak out. Hopefully there will be a point when I know tsrm like the back of my hand. I think I might start studying it so I have an...

Yeah for sure. The only part that trips me out and really makes me paranoid is getting parts. I think its ocd of some sort but I really get freaked for some reason.... like overly worried for some reason I can't explain. I know I'll get my bearings from hpf or ss and I'm thinking champion...

I just got in from pulling my engine and here's what I found: Pretty much every rod has play in it. Not bad but enough to wiggle side to side and hit the crank walls. I think #2's the worst but they're all somewhat loose. Also found where my coolant was going.. Dunno if this could...

We'll I'm pullin her tomorrow after school to address my mhg leak and oil pan leaks so I'll know first hand.

Yeah rings are fine. With the $500 I plan to redo hoses I didn't get to and replace bearings if needed. Have a water pump on the way and have a deal for a oil pump if tsrm doesn't check out with it. I'm just gonna take it one step at a time. I looked up rk for our cars and mine is more...

Yeah I learned the hard way, I had to do it twice. Disconnect cps, ignition, efi fuse, and plug betw fuse box and strut tower and do test on a warm engine WOP for the 5 turns. My overflow drains in a day of driving. I have a cometic + arp studs 1 month old from resurface. I forgot to do the...

When I was on creatine my muscles blew up so big I lost my range of motion. Couldn't do it anymore.

Sou per cah lah frag ah listic ex peed ala doshious Pwnt.

Yeah sheesh it was hard to read with all that jabber.... :biglaugh: I read the whole thing: chlorinated brake cleaner, paint thinner, or acetone. Then copper spray or brake quiet. I have brake quiet in stock but I'm thinking VHT copper spray may be better.

Tiiiight spraying each layer after I drill out the rivets or as a whole?

Hells nah I gots teh cometic. BTW after I pull head to see why its leaking is it okay to re-use cometic along with my arp studs? I've been getting 50/50 on the answer.
