You just need to rotate the cams so the socket clears them. To be safe, I roll the engine forward ~30degrees so there's no chance of hitting valves and pistons.

I would say go with a 2mm head gasket unless you already have the 1.9mm one in your hands. As for the bearings, if you don't want to go through the select-fit process, just order a standard size bearing set and install them. Check the clearances and see what they come up as- move forward once...

*As long as they're legit. Sadly youll never know since they have no way of positively being ID'd.

Do not buy rare parts. Buy something that will be reliable and easily serviced/replaced if it fails. Turbos are not rated as far as they "can flow up to 20psi" rather they are rated by total airflow produced. This is a guide to what the peak power output of the turbe could be, but only...

I ran a divorced downpipe and it was fine, but I had issues with boost spiking too high. I swapped out a bellmouth downpipe and it seems a bit better, as well as the bellmouth fit slightly better than the DDP. Both were Ebay specials, and based off of that I would suggest you run this one. Its...

Bzzt, wrong. The 3S-GTE CT-26 is very much smaller than the 7M CT-26 in every way. Even if the 3S had a larger compressor wheel installed the turbine won't work in the 7M housing at all. Only option is a 7M turbo that's stock/upgraded/aftermarket bo or aftermarket (T-4/T-3)

I highly suggest you buy a factory repair manual. They help a lot when you have no idea what you're doing. Well worth the money spent vs breaking stuff. Alternatively you can go to a local junkyard and find a Supra to practice taking its panel off before doing your own.

Chris is a super cool guy! Funnily enough he enjoys making ricer boys mad by bringing his car out to the street on the weekends and not racing the drag-prepped Hondas. I don't think I've ever seen so many people get so butthurt in real life! He was just chill and refused calmly with the added...

Feramic clutches run into problems when you run an aluminum flywheel with a steel insert. The inset can't shed heat quickly enough to keep from overheating, which can lead to the insert (flywheel) welding itself to the clutch disc. Stick with a billet/chromoly/stock flywheel if you're goig that...

This is an incorrect statement. Electric fans don't move as much air as a well designed (stock) clutch fan. The main reason they're used in production vehicles is for clearance. They also increase load on the electrical system, which may not be able to cope with the draw fans create...

I think I'm going to change out and dissect my filter from last year to see what kind of crap the E-85 conversion did to it. I haven't noticed any pressure loss but its always nice to replace filters. ;)

Well in that case welcome to the club! I beat you to it by 7 years! :P Mine wasn't as exciting, though.

ftfy. People might like pictures of that...both it and you

There are 2 reasons for the 'BRAKE' light to come on- first is the parking brake, there's a switch on the handle assembly, it rarely fails. Second, there is a fluid level sensor in the brake fluid reservoir (part of the fluid cap iirc)- it uses a float and feed switch to turn on the light- it...

They will fit onto a 1990 4-Runner no problem! However, you will need to customize stuff to make it bolt on anything else, and even then it might not work correctly.

:P

Not necessary, you want the gasses to be moving, otherwise it wouldn't be positive ventilation. You want it to flow both directions so its working right all the time!

Actually, the ideal system would take that top port on my catch can and run it to a vacuum port to maintain PCV circulation at all times. It has to be a small orifice, similar to what the factory port has, because it becomes a boost leak when manifold pressure is positive. That way when manifold...
