Go race 'em and find out.... If you lose, though, you might need to learn some driving skills..... I had a bent power steering pulley doing the same thing. Take the belt off, and spin the pulley to see if it wobbles.

In quarter mile, every 100 lbs. shaved = 1/10 sec. faster.

Hunh, this is SUPRAmania, not SUBARUmania, right? Just makin sure I'm in the right place. damn vw bug wannabe motors :)

86.5 with (well, had) TEMS here as well. Yes, the LSD will clunk like a u-joint. If you haven't checked the u-joints yet, though, you should. If its the diff., you need to get it rebuilt. Probably needs new bearings and some clutch work. Your clutch should never slip. Air in the heater...

Lol, Honduh's... gimme a break. I was whoopin' 'em stock. I won't even waste my gas now....

Lol, Mazda may be owned by Ford, but they still engineer and use their own parts. Actually, Mazda and Toyota probably get their injectors from the same manufacturer, so it would likely be a good mod. As long as he has intake, header, exhaust and such as well... FYI: 13B turbo(rx-7 rotary...

Supramacist: Didnt you have a valve job done when your head was at the shop? If so, they SHOULD have put new valve seals in. I'd check it before I took it apart. If not, well, the method mentioned by Jervis McStabby(lol, I love that name, snicker every time I see it) will work quite well for...

Definitely valve seals. Unfortunately, you have to remove the head to install new ones. Which means a new head gasket as well. If you are going to fix it, you can pull the head and take it to a machine shop and get a valve job done. Felpro head gasket kits come with new valve seals, so take...

A few common spots that leak: valve covers, o-ring on the distributor, cam and crank seals. As with any vehicle, the only reason it needs "lots of oil" is because it has leaks, or is buning it off. "Normal" is not the same as "correctly maintained"(which is rare). Clean all the oil and crud...

All right, these are from my parts car. When you take off the bottom timing cover, this is what you should see on the crank(Yours should have a timing belt, I cut mine off when I pulled the head). This is what the pulley should look like when you have it off: In the next pic, see the...

lol, not talking about the front main seal. On the front of the TIMING BELT pulley on the crank, there is a steel washer that is PRESSED on. It's missing in the 5th picture. If you look at the t.b. pulley on the crank, the teeth stop, and there's a little lip. The lip is where the steel...

They retard, iirc. But to set the timing marks, crank needs to be at zero.

Damn Jetjock, now you got me curious. Gonna check that out when the next BHG comes in.

The washer is (supposed to be) pressed on to the front of the pulley for the timing belt (inside the cover). It keeps the belt from walking forward on the crank. All motors with timing belts have them, just most aren't pressed on to the timing belt pulley; they're pinned between the timing...

I'd say timing to. Make sure the timing belt is set correctly, and that you don't have any plug wires crossed.

If your calipers were hard to get off, you need to clean the pins, preferably with steel wool to get the rust and crud off, then use a high temp. caliper grease to lube them.

It's hard to tell in the pics if its rounded, just looks like its full of gunk. If your concerned about it, you can get new dampener pullies from some of the sponsor vendors. Can you clean the crud outta the keyway and take a closer pic.? Edit: Sorry, thought you were talking about the...

In your last pic., it looks like the woodruf key is upside down on the crank. The rounded side goes down, the flat side goes up. The bent washer you were holding is supposed to be pressed on to the crank pulley for the t.b.; you can get a new timing belt crank pulley at Toyota, not real...

Figit090: no problem :) You gave good information. I backed you up because I'd hate to see someone sieze a motor from a lack of understanding on how the cooling system actually works. Burnz: I've gone back and reread this whole post, and have one question: Have you done a block test yet...
