just trying to prove supracentral's statement that "99 times out of 100, the weak link in the MKIII is the owner." these things can be flawless... If you adress all the issues they have. If not, you'll regret it. Its a high maintenance chick... only difference is when you turn on a supra, it...

ok, machined the inner diameter of a 3/4 PVC tube a bit to clear the valve springs. Cut a notch on the bottom so when the sleeve is sat down onto the valve spring seat you can still see the top of the retainer where the valve locks go. Followed that up by doing the same to a 1/2 PVC tube to...

Partialy true... anything else youd like to add? :sarcasm:

i know the 98ish wasn't a Shelby. That first mustang was a normal GT. The one behind it was the Shelby. As (im pretty sure) i stated befor, I thought at first it was just a Shelby GT till it took off. After passing to get infront after both making the right i noticed the GT500 vinyls on...

well said altho its still beats removing the head to do it.

does toyota make a factory valve spring compressor that can be used to compress the valves w/ the head on? i see the one that looks like a C clamp but you have to remove the head. anyone?

ok, neither valve spring compressor worked. Have to wait till friday to be able to go out and make my own. Also gotta see if I either order a metric micrometer from mac tommorrow or just run off to northern tools on friday and see if i can't buy one seeing as no one at work has one.

got another valve spring compressor tool (2 to be exact). Trying to hunt down a metric micrometer to check the shims so i can order the right ones. Might have to order one from Mac tommorrow or see if i can't find one at some local store.

managed to get to cylinder 3, E5 and I5 were done. Got stuck on E6. I really need to get the right tool for this because its really annoying me. Want to finish replacing the valve seals so i can get to measuring the existing valve shims and get the numbers jotted down so i can order the new...

since i was given a long weekend (not really, worked saturday till 3) i decided to check valve clearance and do the valve stem seals. Saturday was spent dissasembling the upper portion of the motor. Had some trouble removing the cam gears off but managed to get them off w/ the help of a...

well the 500hp mustang is just a muscle car. I was watching a video on Shelby's Terlingua Mustang and that shit is more impressive if you ask me. V6 Supercharged making 375 at the wheels. They took the muscle out of the mustang (to an extent) and made it into a sports car that actually has...
