    Good or bad? Egr and charcoal can. Thinking of removing.

    Still available from Toyota (exe though) or you could ask around if someone has one on a front cut they don't want (most people bin them) As a last resort I have one here I could ship over.

    Hissing noise when brake pedal pressed

    Sounds like 2 issues.... 1: There's a demand valve in the Booster or the Vacc from the engine would suck the brakes on whenever the throttle was closed. If the Pedal is adjusted incorrectly you might have the valve open, never seen one but the valve may have failed stuck open. Try the...

    Can the rear timing cover be removed and replaced without pulling the head?

    Can't see how it can be done with any degree of success, the dowel pins in the block mean you have to slide the cover in so any sealant will be squeeged back towards the block. It's hard enough getting a 7M head to seal when everything is perfect this is just a recipe for leaks...

    Condensate in oil

    The alcohol isn't going to sit for any length of time so isn't going to effect anything. (Has to be denatured/metholated spirits) But be certain to prime the engine with Oil before you turn it over as the Alcohol will remove ALL traces of lubrication.

    Condensate in oil

    Go buy 4>5 qt's of denatured alcohol, flush that through with a drill then leave the engine open for a day or so as it'll flash off being quite volatile then repeat with some cheap engine Oil you're willing to dump without running. (The alcohol is hygroscopic so will bond with the water and...
