    The stock thermostat is 195 deg ;) DO NOT run this motor without a thermostat!

    SST for timing belt change?

    Just did mine...took about 4-5 hours. I had to remove my radiator; it's a dual core and got in the way...removing it also allowed me to use Mr. Air Impact Wrench on the crank bolt ;) I just tapped the damper off with a rubber hammer...came off easy, but you may need a puller. The lower...

    what are ARP studs and bolts? what do they do?

    I would loosen them all and torque in sequence.

    what are ARP studs and bolts? what do they do?

    I would drop to 81 ft/lbs...I'm pretty sure your studs are ok since you have not run the motor. Same for distorting the head...you've put no real stress on it. More torque is not necessarily better...like I said earlier, you approached the rated strength of the studs. 81 ft/lbs with the...

    Vibration in 3rd/4th at 1800rpm to 3000rpm

    The TRSM requires matchmarks on both flanges where the driveshaft bolts up to the differential. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=PR&Page=3 On a new, balanced single piece shaft from Jaws...you basically just bolt it up. However, if I ever have to remove it...

    what are ARP studs and bolts? what do they do?

    Here's some info from the ARP site that will answer your question: If the stretch method cannot be used in a particular installation, and the fasteners must be installed by torque alone, there are certain factors that should be taken into account. ARP research has verified the following...

    what are ARP studs and bolts? what do they do?

    If you can get some more moly, that's best...just go to 81 ft/lbs torque. I just use straight 30W motor oil...make sure you clean all the moly off both the nut and stud with a solvent or brake cleaner. The studs to the head are meant to be installed dry...hand tight. The oil (or moly) goes...

    what are ARP studs and bolts? what do they do?

    I'd pull all of them and re-install...you don't want to have any uneven torque at all. It's good the head has not been heated up yet ;)

    what are ARP studs and bolts? what do they do?

    105 ft/lbs with motor oil...not moly. Your call man ;) Hope it didn't distort your head like Aaron talked about.

    Vibration in 3rd/4th at 1800rpm to 3000rpm

    JawsGear...very nice single piece, aluminum driveshaft. Did a write up on it a while back...search for "aluminum" in the titles and "jdub" as poster.

    car vibrates when i'm on the brakes

    That sounds more like a tranny problem...does it vibrate or make any sounds any other time? Have you checked or changed your ATF lately?

    Vibration in 3rd/4th at 1800rpm to 3000rpm

    Yes you can replace just the bearing...they're close to $200 here in the US. Not sure about the UK :dunno:

    Vibration in 3rd/4th at 1800rpm to 3000rpm

    If you still have the stock driveshaft, check the center bearing.

    car vibrates when i'm on the brakes

    That changes things! A warped rotor causes vibration WHILE the car is stopping...not when it's at a complete stop. Do you have ABS?

    car vibrates when i'm on the brakes

    Warped or uneven brake rotors.

    what are ARP studs and bolts? what do they do?

    Good point! The ARP torque spec for head bolts is 85 ft/lbs for moly and 110 ft/lbs w/ 30W motor oil, but there is an exception. ARP recommends a 75 ft/lb spec w/ moly for bolts on an aluminum head (like ours). I never have figured out why that is true for bolts but not studs. I called ARP...
