    I picked up my new bearings today, so if everything goes well this weekend I should be ready for the dyno. Put me down for a maybe and I will be 100% by Sunday.I only need 30 mins; I just want to do a few runs on different boosts, my tune's good.

    Driveability with no ISC valve?

    I run the Lexus and eliminated the ISC, and it works perfect. I just adjusted the idle up a little and it runs fine. You just need a way to let a little extra air bleed through the throttle body.

    How Much Did You Spend?

    Well I'm doing my taxes now and I made under 10K last year (I'm a student, not a hobo), and as mentioned my car has about $4000 into it. So yes, it shows how broke I am.

    Dang now I'm torn. Should I go visit my car and try and get it running or stick around Alabama to see the 1JAYZ come to life. When does Aaron fly in, Friday or Saturday?

    I am having the hardest time reinstalling my R154. How do you guys do it?

    Come to think of it aljordan is right. I believe I got enough play out of the engine to just jack it up without taking it off the mounts. The rubber has some flex and it was enough for me.

    I am having the hardest time reinstalling my R154. How do you guys do it?

    Too long didn't read. I was thinking about your quandry. Have you tried possibly breaking the engine off its mounts and jacking it up for some clearance? I'm not sure but this may work.

    Gas door not opening!!!

    Errr. In the trunk there is an access panel to get to the inside of the gas lever. If you pop that panel out and reach your arm in you can pull the cable or lever to open the gas door the right way.

    Some of the people on alabamaracing were wondering if the rotary guys could come hang out. Thoughts?

    Alabama and neighbors

    As soon as I find a machine shop to order me some King bearings I should be set. Only one was bad, but the crank has been sized for all standard sized bearings so I'll probably change them all. Then I should be good to go.

    Checking out bottom end, need some advice

    Okay I think I got this all figured out. They are King bearings (I can tell by the logo), all the same part number. In King's catalog it shows these are all .25. So I assume whoever did the rebuild reground the crank to fit all same-sized bearings instead of messing with Toyota's numbering...

    I tore out my bottom end today and found my bad bearing. Once I order a replacement and get it back together I should be good for meet/dyno.

    Checking out bottom end, need some advice

    Good news I found my one trashed bearing. Obviously different than normal wear as on the others. The crank journal looks in good shape too. Thanks for help guys.

    Checking out bottom end, need some advice

    OK 3 down, 3 to go. I was hoping one would look really bad, so I would have something to compare too. So far all crank journals look great, and all bearings have similar, but not severe, wear. All are within spec so far (the last one was really close to the max, so I may replace it). I have a...

    Checking out bottom end, need some advice

    -Matchmarks confirmed, 6-5-4-3-2-1. Wow some are deep though. Now I need to find out what scratched my pan, because it does have some scoring as well. Thanks guys. -The bearings are silver, no copper visible anywhere. -Low as in low volume, but yes, also low on the engine. Now that I see the...
