I am needing to remove my cam gears so I can replace the cam seals and seal up the little valleys in the cam end covers to stop leaking. There are yellow tick marks on my upper timing gear cover that match yellow tick marks on my cam gears. The only thing is, when I line up the yellow cam gear...

What do you guys use to replace these hoses? I believe mine are leaking and are definitely like peanut brittle. I was just told yesterday that Toyota doesn't sell, stock, or manufature them anymore.

So I am attempting to pin point a leak and I already have the front subframe of the car off, so I figure I will reseal both the lower and upper oil pans. My current issue is removing them, primarily the upper pan. I have double checked that I've removed all of the bolts and disconnected the...

Has anyone ever replaced the plastic, what I assume to be adhesive protectors that go on the quarter panels? (P/n's 58742, 58741, 58747, 58748) in the attached photo? Mine are faded and cracked and look like crap. Is is easy to do without screwing up the quarter panels?

Following the TSRM I secured the steering wheel with a high tension bungee, that thing didnt move a bit once it was in place. I replaced the rack, and before reinstalling, I made sure the match marks on the universal joint and control valve shaft were lined up as best I could (I did the rack...

Ok so my dumb ass over torqued my new tie rod end, where it connects to the spindle. The TSRM calls for like 36 ft-lbs, I took it to like 60+ and stretched the bolt so the hole for the cotter pin is way above the ridges of the castle nut. In other words, if I put the cotter through the hole in...

I need new tie rod ends and lower ball joints. Rock Auto sells both these brands, with Raybestos being the more expensive of the two. I have read that many are satisfied with Moog's quality, but I have only heard Raybestos's name in brake components. Can anyone share an experience?

In the TSRM, it specifically states NOT to use water to clean the evaporator http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=AC&P=33 Can someone tell me why it would be a bad idea to do this? As long as you have the refrigerant port and suction port capped, and make sure not to...

Any one have a reputable site you could recommend? I'm looking for a new compressor and clutch, not a remanufactured one. Based on what I've read, I should be able to use one from say a 98 mkiv correct? If so, I'm trying to beat $365 from Champion.

89+ w/ 1JZ swap. DM Stage 2 clutch kit (2800lb. pp w/ OEM disc), aluminum flywheel, stock driveshaft. The problem manifested after putting about 1000 miles on the swap. Whenever the car is cold, and upon startup, there will be a brief grinding, definitely like a rotating piece(s) are hitting...

Very recently I have noticed a subtle, brief grinding noise upon cold start. It happens with and without the clutch depressed, and seems to be getting more pronounced. It it intermittent upon start and will only last about 10-20 seconds, then it goes away. It sounds like it is coming from the...

Ok this may be a pretty silly question, but are the ignition coils specific to cylinder number? The reason I ask is that on the side of each ignition coil, I see a designation stamped into the plastic, ranging from A1 to A6.

This is the rear twin on my 1J. The location where I believe a bolt to be missing is circled in red. Is this bolt location to actually hold the turbo housing together or is it for something to be bolted to the turbo (doubtful). The other two green circles are oil drops. Is this where one...

So I just finished all poly bushing install. Brakes were fine and bled before bushing job, but I opened a line not knowing I didnt have to take a front caliper off so I re-bled everything. Pedal was hard as a rock. Then I start the car, and with the motor running, the pedal turns to mush and...

When I activate my newly charged A/C the motor bogs down pretty hard core. Is the throttle positioning sensor responsible for idling-up the motor when the A/C is turned on?

Ok from the emails I've recieved there are only 5 of us that are paid in full. There could very well be more of you that are but I just don't know, so if you are, go ahead and update the list please. 1. Chris Timerding- MKIII X2 Shipped *deposit paid* 2. TheTransporter88- FC X2 shipped...

So I just finished installing a new parallel flow condenser and dryer to complete my R134a conversion. I bolted the hood latch back into place, then, closed the hood, completely. Realized this evening, when I went to go and try to pop the hood, that I didn't re-connect the wire that pops the...

Here's a pic of the vatozone kit: Where the hell do the little clips I've circled in red go? They were not part of the OEM assebmly I took off of car.

Is the valve on the 1j's ps pump the same as the 2j's? I dropped my pump (from about 6" and it broke the nipples off of the valve).
