I'd be interested...

You know, if the only problem with your diff is the axle seals, you can replace them while the diff is in the car. Just a thought.

W.O.W. I always knew our oem stuff was stout, but would never have thought that Toyota internals were THAT bulletproof.

huh?

See my thread for pics of the bushing installs, along with every other suspension pic as well. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?154373-Project-Git-er-done-before-the-Mayans-come!-Stage-1...

If you could peel it right off like an old scab, I'd do it- would be kinda nice to give it that look for a week or two.

I like turbo lag... It's the Big Bad Wolf inhaling, just before he blows Honda's house down.

My new motor was used for reference!!! I AM SOMEBODY!!!

Well, what I did was tap the rear coolant threads to a 3/8 NPT, and will use a brass allen plug.

Maybe not pipe threading? I mean- are the oil plugs in the crank pipe thread?

Update- (since SO many people obsess over this life-altering issue...) The oil galley plug is neither NPT or BSP. Apparently, it's a metric size. I didn't really need to know the oil galley plug size per se, but rather the rear collant bleed valve near the back of the block. My bleed valve is...

True for the front as well.

Um. Please tell me those aren't plastic zip ties, because on close inspection, they SURE do look like it... :yikes:

Ah. What about SupraMANIA members? :biggrinbo Yeah, I knew that. I just *thought* it would be a similar price with little piddly stuff. I was wrong.

Oil pan, stripped for paint: Bagged and tagged, till I get the gasket set, and a few other things:

Well, they're not getting fed. No, my local stealership. I asked how much a new oil galley plug was- $36.00!! Well, I hope that FIPG is better than most of the stuff I can buy at my local parts stores. Do you think I should reconsider?

Threw on the NA filter union on, and slapped a few other bits on, including a test fit of the head gasket. Looks like only one rivet is a concern:
