that doesn't sound too bad actually problem is I need to get the right angle drill, drill bit, helicoil kit, and the locktite.

You just removed the turbo and used that drill and drill bit and the helicoil kit?

So I have to remove the head again. Anyone have a 1 or 2JZ I can have lol

Well I took out two studs on the exhaust manifold that I suspected were causing the problem and when I took them out I noticed the threads that go into the head were filled in with metal sort of like a coil and the second bolt looked the same so I figured that is how it is. I put them back in by...

Sweet I'll read up some more on oil thanks

I was at walmart today and I saw they have Rotella T5 synthetic blend 10w-30 for $13, should I make the switch to synthetic blend?

Thank you gents good to know.

Ah I thought you had to go to the dealer for stuff like that for legal and safety reasons.

Hahaah wow, how did your locks seize up? I am thinking about changing the locks so I don't have to use 2 keys but I assume I had to go to the dealer for that?

Thanks for the tip I would not have known what to do if the alarm does go whacky lol.

Ahh I did not know that I do have the factory alarm and it works.

I tightened the exhaust manifold and the sound lessened and so I decided to drive the car down to my friend's beach house in Galveston, TX about an hour and a half drive or so over 160 miles round trip and the car did not miss a beat, still boosted quickly and strong temperature stayed steady...

Will do

Ahhhh I understand now I will switch back to 10W-30 asap then. Thanks for clearing that up and not being an asshole about it like SF would have been :D

I haven't had a valve adjustment I did lap the valve seats though. I didn't hear a knocking sound when I revved the engine just the ticking and I've done that 3k-3500 test multiple times as well as driven it around the neighborhood and it sounds and drives normal except for that very light...

A friend of mine who used to work on this car when the previous owner had it told me it sounds like a definite exhaust leak as well. At least it's not a rod knock I would be pissed if after all of the work I did on this motor and it runs beautifully for awhile then starts knocking. I will try...

The longer video finally finished uploading that recorded the car idling weird for a second. I really hope I don't have to drill and tap it lol. At around 1:43 is when the car starts to idle weirdly.

I am seriously hoping I just need to tighten the exhaust studs lol, don't some people on here block off the EGR cooling plate?

I used a felpro gasket on the EGR cooling plate, the oem gasket that was on there was similar to what I used I had to scrape it off and cleaned the cooling plate it sure as hell was not metal lol.

I just started it up and listened around I can hear it clearly from the exhaust side toward the back of the motor. Here is a video I recorded I might just have to tighten the exhaust nuts some more because I didn't use the torque wrench when I had one on them, slap my forehead.
