I finally got the Supra back together but discovered an oil leak from the turbo oil return pipe at the block. I started reading through the TSRM tonight to prepare for replacing the gasket on this pipe again this weekend and noticed something odd. On page TC-9 they show the torque for...

How was the install on that? I am really interested in their product. (Cygnus website liked it!) Also did you get the metal or ceramic matrix version?

Silly me, I always forget the SC300. Very cool! Hmm, had what seemed like 20-30 minutes of white exhaust. It smelled bad at first like burning but not coolant, then became odorless. It was starting to get cold out, so I am not sure if that made the exhaust appear to have color later on. I...

Nice, is that an IS300 Pryo? Looking sharp! Thanks for the support Faye and Pryo! I really wish you guys were not so far away indeed. I can follow the TSRM, but some things just come with experience that I don't have. (For example, I could not get the timing light to show me anything at all...)...

Yeah, spent all weekend putting mine back together and it works, but oil is leaking from somewhere, the exhaust is crazy white, and the engine still sounds weird. Wishing I had just gone to Texas and bought that SC430...

Supra has been on jackstands since late July. I am about to go back out and prime the turbo and then start it up. Checked everything twice and I feel confident I will be driving soon! Update: Lots of white smoke from the exhaust, which is new... Oil leaking from somewhere... Couldn't make the...

This brochure contained every model...but I don't think it was the normal full range brochure they give out, as it was mounted permanently to a large display that had pictures of the cars and brochures available to take. (This book seemed like it was made as a part of the display rather than as...

Back when I was first buying cars in 1991-1992 I went to a dealership that had a nice large display with a full range brochure attached to it. This was different from the typical brochures in that it gave the origin of the name of each vehicle. I would say it was almost more like an index. (It...

Ah the CPS. My o-ring and the CPS cover gasket had both turned into hard plastic, so I suspect they had never been changed. It felt really good when I put the CPS back in the engine with the o-ring, so hopefully no leaks. Will definitely be watching it. I didn't notice damage to the coolant...

Obviously you guys have not played the "steal the helicopter from the military base" mission in GTAV!

I worked for Zipper Interactive for 7 years. Really good times.

Sucks to hear about your car. Good luck with the swap, there is loads of great info here!

I would love it if the ST205 Celica GT Four was available in North America. I would so add that to my Toyota collection as well. (Of course, this is fantasy land where I have the space and money to do such things.)

Nice! Personally I think I would want an 85 MKII to go with my MKIII. But I suppose by then I would feel the need to complete the set and get the other two!

Sadly in my industry I think it is all the "who you know" I am a video game designer. Fabulous job when things are stable.

Today I learned that gasoline tastes a lot better than coolant! Oh the drink menu in this tavern is intense for sure!

Same thing happened to me when I got my parts ceramic coated. When I mentioned this to the guy working there he said I could call and they can adjust hours to help out. Maybe one of the shops near you could do that?

Ok gotcha, I misunderstood and thought the bolt stripped going in. Still not a good time at all. Most of my FUUU moments have been in removing something to get to something and seeing the horrible state of the gasket or leaking oil or...well you know :P Hope someone can get you help on that...

Oh no, did you have to pull the entire head again? I know that FUUUU feeling all too well from this Supra project!

Probably too late now, but I found this thread looking for the same advice! I used needle nose pliers to gently squeeze the tabs at the front and rear (think front and rear of hood) of the nozzles. It helps to go in from a bit of an angle so you don't damage the part of the nozzle that connects...
