Replacing the rubber bellow on the power steering rack before it gets dirt in there. How do you loosen the part on the rack with the adjusting nut clamp. My 13mm slips on the rod and vice grips might bend the rod ? Any suggestions ? Has anyone slipped the below over the ball joint ...

Is there a heat spacer/spacer between the 3000 pipe and its mounting bracket ? The bolt holes seem big and it should have some heat insulation like the rubber gromments on the coil packs. I ordered the bolts from toyota but shouldn't the 3000 pipe be heat insulated. Just replaced the fat...

Started leaking and dripping alot of oil. determined the oil pump drive is leaking at the front cover. There's alot of play in and out which seems to be the cause (see video). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ9n5Noggzo Do I really have to pop the head to get that cover off ? it has MHG...

Only had one key for the cam pulley (that round alignment key). Used a split rolled steel one from the hardware store that fit good and snug on the intake side and the one I had for the exhaust. Anyone see any reason to put a OEM one in there ? It's timed and ready but haven't started her yet.

Got my block back last week from the performance shop. I gave him a bag with the bolts for the timing cover to attach to the block. It came back and these 2 round things don't seem to match up to the TSRM, parts catalogue or anywhere that I can see on the engine so far. Picture is them...

I had the block and head milled at a reputable shop. They took .01 off the block deck. My head has been milled a few times. It has at least 2 stamp marks. The shop said they didn't have the tools to measure what exists. I've found this searching: ...Measure from the Main bearing saddle to...

I'm trying to get the vacuum hoses right on my USA 1990. The diagram is great but I don't understand a few things. 1-The EGR vacuum modulator has 2 vacuum lines (plus one bigger hose on the bottom that goes to the EGR valve). Does it matter which nipple goes to either vacuum line ? Could you...

Back in November I bought a stainless steel turbo downpipe elbow for $85 with shipping on ebay. It arrived a week later and I put it in place a couple of weeks later. Bolted up nice and all seemed well....except it was leaking at the gasket. Leaking specifically between turbo and new elbow on...

Dealer didn't have the block dowels and I've waited a week for them on backorder. Only thing holding me up is these two dowels. I figure I can't use rollpins because the holes for the dowels go right into the coolant passage. Can I use a regular steel rod that is fabricated to fit ? Well got...

7mgte, 2K on new rings, reconditioned head, new lower bearings and just got a BHG. Head has OEM bolts and OEM gasket which blew so that it's gushing out the overflow coolant tank at boost. Little white on oil cap. Compression test results: #1 = 185 psi #2 = 190 #3 = 190 #4 = 190 #5 =...

I want to clean up the TEMS cover under the hood. It's just a protective metal cap with a hole for the TEMS wire grommet. It has some foam stuff that is about 1/2 inch or so thick that looks pretty crappy. Has anyone replaced that foam and painted the cap ? Dealer wants over $25 each for...

'90 turbo - stock crankcase ventilation, rebuilt engine and c-26 under 5K miles. No blowby, very very light film of oil in the aluminum 3000 pipe that goes to the intake manifold. Ran 5w-20 oil for 100 miles (like an idiot don't even ask) NO smoke on cold start or hot start. No smoke after...

Read in the oil education area about 10lbs/1K rpm is a good rule of thumb. Was running 10/30 castrol and it's ~5lbs on gauge at idle. It can idle like that, perfect idle, no valve noise at all. The most I can get is 25 psi according to the gauge. Switched to 5/20 castrol and same results...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAGz4i2_Iuk Looks like a c-26 connected, and plenty of play when they close-up to it. and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxi5-gFwikU

Troubleshooting the A/C on '90 GTE found the fuse but its much more. I can't figure out where the fuse is to start. The fuse is on the schematic but I see no fuse in the footwell or mains by the battery. Any help is appreciated.
