Everybody here take a deep breath and relax before posting.
I don't think this deserved to be closed, and as such I'll re-open it, however it's going to be watched closely and snapped shut if people can't stay polite.
On the other hand... no offense meant, Stan, it's very possible that you are...
Before doing anything else, check for boost leaks. I don't think you should be able to hit fuel cut with just shims and the mods listed without leaking metered air somewhere...
The wheel on the front is just too big - puts too much stress on the center rotating assembly. Therefore, they tend to self destruct - shaft play increases until they start chewing themselves to bits.
Unless you live in a country that hasn't outlawed cleaners that do serious environmental damage, which is rather unlikely, then don't try it, you cannot clean an AFM with the solvents available and have a snowball's chance in hell of it working afterwards.
By the way, this has been covered...
I don't think I'm up to insane power levels, and my 275 17s just won't stick to the ground anymore.
It's just too easy to make too much power with these cars. :)
Thanks! :) It's not quite that configuration anymore, I've changed forks, stem, cranks, and brakes since that photo was taken. Should be out riding it tomorrow, actually!
Those are easy.
1. Weld a chain to the front
2. Hook up to the back of your 15 ton truck.
3. Drive away.
4. Drag to the nearest overpass, push over the edge.
5. Walk down to the wreckage, pick through remnants.
6. Profit!
Gasket remover will work fine for that. Clean up the block surface and the head, put on the new gasket, bolt it down and you should e good to go, just remember to torque Toyota bolts to 72 foot pounds, or if you're using ARPs use the specs they specify on the instruction insert.
By the sounds of things, it had some kind of widebody kit on it, in which case chances are you can see in somewhere on Acroth's site...
