Don't forget to listen to the ac compressor, power steering pump and alternator also- just to make sure. Attach a timing light and see if the mark moves in any way indicating the balancer is loose or bushing is worn out. (Do the other balancer diagnostics also though.) BTW, my balancer noise...

I would check with a machine shop and see if they have any ideas (free). I would go to the parts store and get some freeze spray (for rusted bolts ...). Tighten a screw into the center of the broken fitting as tight as you can get it. Freeze the fitting and it should contract, then try to...

I had the same problem. 7MGTE also- 1989. Ended up being the crank pulley/harmonic balancer. Bought a new one- it is awesome and solved the problem- but it's not cheap. http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/performanceparts/Toyota/Supra_MK3/Engine/Harmonic_Balancers I'd do a search on symptoms and...

There are two different parts; a nozzle which is about $20 and a valve which is about $12. You don't want the nozzle, but the pressure regulating valve. The nozzle bolts to the valve and has no moving parts. It can be re-used. The valve has a ball and spring and is the part of concern for oil...

I agree with previous posts. If you really need a temporary fix/cleaning without replacing it the only approach I would take would be to 1) call Gates directly and ask for an engineers/tech support recommendation for getting power steering fluid off. It will be worth the time and call...

Dealers can check availability in stock across the country. I always get good prices and help from Jeff at Champion Toyota in Houston (713) 943-7010. There were a few extra in Gainesville, Florida about a month ago. Price was about $20 each. Be real careful torquing! They are thin metal...

All is in an working great. Pressure is up just from changing out the stock system and adding the remote filter and cooler. I feel great about the 180 degree t'stat. THANKS FOR THE HELP. If I get a chance to post pics later I will. It would be good to add a post on making up the hydraulic...

A friend (and engineer) has a MK!V running over 1500 HP and is running a stock belt and has never had a failure. Way back ... I worked in the plant that made 60% of the timing belts in the world. I actually met the guy who invented the timing belt. That was way before my hair was...

Results look good. Not disconnecting the CPS should not mess the readings up. There is a procedure documented in the "Articles" tab on the menu bar.

I tried to post pics but they "Fail to load" I'm using the paperclip symbol for "attachments" but it's not working. If anyone can tell me how I will post pics:confused:

The hard pipe from behind the water pump routes around the block to under the intake manifold. A hose goes from it up into the intake manifold/cold start valve.

I tried to post some pics but I keep getting a "Upload of file failed" message. If anybody can tell me what I'm doing wrong I will post the pics. That girgling sound is probably steam in the heater core if it's hot when you are hearing it. Any wet carpets or slimy fog type residue on the...

I just had one made at a local driveline shop (in Orlando, Florida) for $285. They make them for lots of performance cars and confirmed a solid single shaft is a good way to go, especially for higher horsepower (I'm somewhere around 450 RWHP right now). They would have repaired my old one for...

I would get some insulated heat wrap for the replacement hose. There is a metal heat shield that is supposed to be there also, so without it you definitely need the shielding. I have the metal shield but also wrapped my hose in the insulated heat wrap. It available at most auto stores. The hose...

I'm doing mine now. I am removing the windshield washer fluid tank and putting the remote oil filter in that space. I am mounting the thermostat on the frame centered below the radiator and the cooler at an angle under the drivers side headlight.

I had a broken weld in the clevis pin bracket on the end of the master cylinder shaft. You can check it at the top of the brake pedal arm where the clevis pin connects to the bracket. If the bracket is loose on the shaft it won't always push the master cylinder piston in the same distance...

The brake pedal to the floor is the brake system (master cylinder, wheel cylinders or hoses). You should bleed the system, look for leaks, and replace faulty components. You won't necessarily see leaks if there are problems (internal seal leaks in the bad cylinder). If there are leaks they...

Thanks.

Any difference in the 7MGTE head and the JDM 7MGTE head? Valves, porting, anything? Will a JDM head be a direct bolt-on and perform the same?

Makes sense. Good chart reference also: http://fordfuelinjection.com/files/engine_trans_temps.gif MoCal 180F thermostat it is- will order it and return the Canton 215F.
