    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    I looked under there and all I see is a banjo, do I follow the banjo line and it will take me to the connector? Ahhh okay, when I get back I'll move the car near the garage and check it out. Thanks.

    That larger rectangle connector does go to the throttle body, the white connector goes to the idle control valve. I am still looking at the TSRM to find out where that smaller black connector goes.

    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    That bigger plug above the one I am talking about connects to the idle control valve that smaller plug can't fit in it it's too small. I'll check it out and feel around and try to find it and I also need to find out where the vacuum and oil leak are, I am thinking a vac line just popped out...

    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    There is 1 plug I can't figure out where it connects to, it sticks out between the idle control valve and throttle body, black rectangle plug.

    Oh derp lol. I think I found where the oil leak is coming from I think it's either the oil filter or turbo oil drain pipe maybe it's not tight enough.

    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    There is a small oil leak dripping down to the middle of the car but I saw some splashes of oil on the passenger side wheel, I will check it out tomorrow and see where it is leaking from. Now for timing, I remember someone said it should be at 10 degrees, is that 10 degrees after or before TDC?

    The first start up took a little awhile but that is to be expected. Here is the second or third start up Tomorrow I will try to find out what that loud hissing sound is probably a vacuum line I missed or came out.

    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    Yea I got a new washer and it works perfectly now, no leaks, car started right up and adjusted the timing a bit to make it not run a little rough but I will get it properly timed. There is a little smoke coming from the turbo area I think that is just from sprays like pb blaster and such that I...

    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    I went to start the car up but my brother saw some fuel coming out from the big banjo bolt regulator type thing that connects the number 1 fuel pipe to the fuel rail at the back of the motor. It was not tightened all the way but I am confused on how the washers are supposed to go around the...

    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    Well I know I can do what I want lol but I want to know what would happen if I installed that Lexus AFM since I read that if I put it on I would run lean. I'll just pass on the offer and keep scouring for a master window switch and blue coin holder since the lid on mine keeps popping open...

    Changing my head gasket, me asking for your help while doing this

    Someone just pm'd me on another forum saying they have a lexus afm for sale and wanted to sell one to me, I do plan on going with higher boost eventually but not anytime soon should I still buy the AFM if it is cheap and store it until I get 550CC injectors?
