Ok. Exciting stuff today. I went and picked up my tranny! Here she is all Marlin Crawler'd up! :) And yes...that's FIPG Orange! I then got motivated to clean this pig. Then I mounted her up!

He he...I couldn't resist! :biglaugh: ;)

I use Purple Power in my parts washer and it has removed paint on a lot of parts. I don't know how it reacts with rubber though. My buddy had some simple green on a rag and he set it on the plastic side mirror on his truck and within about 10 minutes, the rag had sort of melted itself to the...

I was thinking of diluting some Simple Green down to a 50/50 mix. What have you guys done that didn't ruin rubber parts? Thanks!

Then I busted a knuckle pretty good so I decided to end the evening by replacing part of the power steering 'up' idle vac line.

Here are some injector goodies that arrived from Driftmotion. (not the injectors, just the o'rings and insulators) And here they are installed in the rail and eventually on to the head.

Thanks Fred! Yeah, it does look pretty cool. He told me that it was a good thing to take the extra step and replace the needle bearings. Before rebuild measurements were on the border of spec on the loose end. After all new parts along with the needle bearings I had to get from Toyota, all...

Thanks! It looks really cool as a phone background!

Thanks IJ! I guess I do get a little carried away... :biglaugh:

I whipped this up last night after I got my new Samsung Impression. It looks muuuuch better now! ;) It's 240x400 Enjoy!

My buddy called me today and told me to come down and take my last look of the tranny opened up because he's going to button it up tomorrow! Here are pics of the Marlin Crawler Chromolly Bearing Plate installed. Take note to the engraving. If someone tells you they've got a MC Bearing Plate...

Thanks Ron! :) I did already replace the rear main. I did not post pics of that process. Sorry. I didn't even take pics of the newly installed seal because I had to take it off the stand to do it and when it was done, I put it right back on to the stand. I'll take a pic of it when I get to...

I stopped by my buddy's shop this evening to pick up some 2000 Camry Schematics and he told me that my tranny should be done tomorrow. Woo Hoo!!! Hopefully, I'll be able to make it by there tomorrow before he get's it all buttoned up so I can get some pics of the Marlin Crawler parts...

Didn't get a lot of time out there this evening... :( My Lipp Stainless Mirror Finish center galley cover showed up from SupraSport last week so I went ahead and installed that. It's hard to tell from the pic; but, it really does look like a mirror.

I have also been running electric fans without any difficulty/problems. If you plan on using the Flex-A-Lite Kit, the first thing you need to do is throw the supplied in-line fuse holder in the trash and spend $7 bucks on one of these.

Sometimes we're right and sometimes we're wrong. When we're wrong, it proves that we're human and need to strive for a better understanding.

Oh yeah...I'm pretty much married to the 7M. I have four complete 7MGTE's so I won't be going jz for a loooooooong time! If ever! ;)

Thanks for the 2jz motor mount tip. I'll file that one away... Yeah, I was just getting things ready for work tomorrow and it actually took me a second to remember how to set my alarm clock. I guess that's a good thing! :biglaugh:

I dropped the subframe and replaced a rod knock on my 87. I caught it very early and the repair was 100%. 1.5 years later and still no knock. Despite the overwhelming mob of folks that told me to pull the motor rather than drop the subframe, I found dropping the subframe to be easier. The...

Though basic and still in "development", in the newer versions of firmware, the Maft Pro has timing control.
