I would be pretty confident in saying that 105 ft-lbs (with moly !!) killed this gasket. That is equivalent to like 230% of the Toyota factory spec (58 ft-lbs with motor oil). A big long swiss cheese sausage head like the 7M will not be flat with that much pressure on 14 discrete bolts. You...

There are two OEM rad caps. You will need to measure the rad neck depth to the land and your cap sealing ring depth to make sure everything fits okay.

Anyone have this new boost controller? I am wondering if it is worth the extra $200 compared to the AVC-R? Does anyone know how long the AVC-R has been on the market? http://www.blitz-performance.com/Blitz_SBC_iColor.htm

According to the Felpro info I could find they do not require a spray on coating with the Permatorque MLS. I cannot find anything about a specific Felpro MLS spray anywhere. The app note above is old, but Mopar still makes that gasket spray. It is the first time I've seen an official OEM note...

Blue pearl, after you cut the bolts off, could you see why they were seized up so badly?

Any damage to the teeth of the pulley? Could something have got wedged into the spokes?

A $150k Toyota Century limousine. JDM only.

Never seen one, but would love too!

I'm thinking it was for a distributor long ago (1M, 2M...)?

I really don't understand the issue? Even if the pulley is stuck, there are four tapped holes in the pulley. Just use a standard steering wheel puller along with a couple of metric bolts. The timing belt cog has two tapped holes you can use for the same purpose! Why all the hammers? :icon_conf

1GZ-FE! Not one-jay ... one-gee :biglaugh:

Before tearing apart the linkage, clean the throttle body and plate. It is probably covered with black goo that makes it stick.

Love these pictures! Does anyone know what used to attach to that flat section of the 7M block (I circled it in the attached pic)?

I have noticed that the corrugated plastic that Toyota tapes around the loom turns to stone, but the actual wiring insulation seems to hold up better. The connectors are also very fragile, but I have been able to remove all my 16 year old ones without breaking any by being careful and taking the...

GM's bimetal quad-4 had a huge BHG problem as well. It would cost easily $10M to $100M to design/fab a new engine block. Much better off to put a BMW I-6 in if you want an aluminum block. IMHO

Maybe if you got it rebalanced. If you look on your pulley you will see dimples in the back where material was removed to balance it originally. Breaking off some pieces will throw it out of balance.

Looks like they changed the design around 1989 to the crappy one, then fixed it later for the 91-92 years. I have both designs. The newer one is silver and has a more matte like finish that makes it easier to see than the older shiny gold style. PS How does the oil pressure sender work? Its...

Anyone use JB Weld to glue the head to the block? No more BHG! :biglaugh: You can get helicoil kits from SJ Discount Tools online.
