    5spd Harness/ECU question...

    You can use an Auto ECU and Harness for a Manual - but you can't use a Manual ECU and Harness for an Auto.

    Put the tools down and step AWAY from the vehicle. Seriously? :nono:

    what went wrong?

    Right - you need to pull that engine. Sounds to me like you need a rebuild - a headgasket alone won't cut it. If you have Mayonnaise oil, sorry, its time to get the block cleaned, new bearings and have your crank checked out.

    Boost on Stock Pistons

    Line hone...just for using ARP main studs? I've not heard that one before... The less machining you have to do, the better. This isn't a Chevy small block.

    Oil pressure paranoia...

    Yeah, if i had an engine crane, and the funds, i'd pull the whole lot. But, the subframe route means you can leave the engine block in the car attached to the transmission. As poodles stated, you cant pull the crank without dropping the transmission at one end, the front and rear covers, the...

    Oil Pressure Clarification

    Only need 400ppm of water in the oil to turn it into an acidic, bearing eating goo. Even if you can't see a milkshake going on, doesn't mean that there was no water in there.

    Oil pressure paranoia...

    Hmm, this may be the case, but that would mean i have to get the subframe off, drop the sump, remove ALL the rod bearings and measure the clearances/plastigage before dropping Toyota ones back in. However, Toyota sells each bearing for about $15. Without tax.
