How did the mechanical fan through a clutch run for 30 minutes after the engine was shut down??? Do you mean the a/c condensor fans?

The intent of the MA70 never was an all out rocket. If you dont want it to be, it will still be a very nice car to drive every day.

Make sure you arent low on transfluid first. I havent heard an automatic squeal like worn belts. Maybe...hell I would have to hear it.

At Toyota we charged $300, which was the same as what Gunn did it for in Denver. That is regrinding the valves, installing seals, etc. $1000 sounds extremely steep to me. Maybe with a full port job or something? Decking it will add another 50 usually. Lapping, I dont know.

The Tacoma didnt come out until 95 or something. Try an older pickup. Something like a 90-92 with a decent body still. The auto trans is of the A34 series. The manual is an R series, with the V6 models. Of course it has been done many times. I too have seen the websites. Im not 100% that all...

Typically on any OHC, the cams starve before the crank.

The "crank seal" is in front. The "main seal" is in the rear. As the poster above indicated, were they talking front or rear?

My 91 is $160 for 6 months. For the 25 and under crowd, dont feel bad. My first in 94 was about $420 for 6 months.

Exactly right. It is a volume airflow meter. Think of a boat going through the water. The waves moving out from the sides act the same as the air in the meter as it passes over the vortex generator. Yes. By vibrating. The more volume the faster the vibration, which is translated to be...

And it cost $50 to manufacture. The Defcon downpipe was manufactured for around $50 for example.

Non smooth splines, or with out lubrication. Possibly burred.

Where in Colorado? Denver? Gunn automotive did the machine work with zero defects when I worked at Toyota in my time. That includes decking heads and blocks. They are in Denver.

Exactly right. Toyota converted the 7MGE to a turbo, what more evidence do you need?

Well, umm, err, cant think of anything. Best old car I ever had. Old car being more than 10 years old. This isnt the first either.

The headgasket thickness and boost isnt really related to a BHG, unless you go overboard. You had a prior problem and it wasnt fixed right I am guessing. Or not correctly, as you stated, did the mechanic not torque it right? That is possible. So is the possibility that the head and block were...

:confused: So the fuse blows or it doesnt? A relay can go bad and only work when cold. Circuit opening relay has happened before.

Sounds like the throwout bearing might be hanging up then. You have access to a lift to check it out physically?

Does the clutch engage when the pedal is still on the floor?

It isnt re-oiling, it is over oiling. Yes coating the mirror can hurt its reflectiveness.

Toyota uses powers steering fluid from the factory too. The Dexron is supposed to help quiet an aging pump. Or so I read somewhere. Kind of sounds like bullshit though.
