Turns out the oil thermostat split. Looped out the cooler and accusump line for now. Derale has a similar product with more material to it, hopefully I won't unintentionally split it too. Obviously I don't intend to rework the oil system much, just opt for different a maker of a similar...

Got my Supra in operation. Still have to get DMV temp reg tags for break in, looks like i may make the meet if my GF doesn't have plans. I'd like to see/hear that v8'd supra in person, after hearing the open header video from couple months back :D

SUCCESS!! Today was very busy, positive, eventful, morning to evening. Started out as most mornings cooking my GF breakfast. Helped her sort some business product in her place before I took off. On my way out she gave me her storage key for a few items to leave her dwelling temporarily. I...

In short I was practically pulling my hair out for 2 weeks learning all the wire colors, plugs, paths, purposes. If I hadn't been in a rush to place the dash, and swapped the harnesses as this itch of a thought suggested to do as I started to install the wrong dash/harness combo, I wouldn't...

Wiring differences, top is my original and bottom is other dash Of course one of my Yellow leads wasn't powering the dash when the wires in the plugs aren't placed the same!!! More differences: Original harness part number the other dash number Different vent inputs at driver left...

Yesterday it rained/misted all day and I didn't want to move my pop up canopy currently covering my weight set in the back yard. I spent the day tool shopping and honey-do's. Picked up a variable speed buffer, a/c manifold kit and vacuum, ventilation blower, and a bunch of supplies for a paint...

Did ya git'r done??? :) Icy Hot has those back pads for when your done and beer isn't enough, after a day of leaning over the nose lol

Thats a total bummer. Can I ask how you prepped the ATI dampener for install?

Made decent progress tracing runs, finding out what pinched wires do to good fuses, and got some lights to work. Then, after finding one of the Yellow power runs from Junction Box 3 didn't have continuity, I decided out goes the dash to switch harnesses, enough with the games. Tomorrow will be...

Wrong orders BOOO!!! Great example why customizing things makes projects take so long. I feel you on the valve cover bolt, mine disappeared into thin air when I went to check torque values at the studs.

^^^ I'll try for the meet but I have to bust ass to get the supe on the road and broke-in. and pass smog lol I can do it yes i can :) today I reconnected the original column wiper/lights stalks. That fixes the erratic retracting issues at the 'dimmer' (high/low/retract) switch. So its going...

I spend what free time i can studying the diagrams. in the 90 tsrm a Yellow wire powers the gauges, I may have missed that in the harness? I'll have to check. And a low battery (sub +12V) will start making systems act funny

^^^^ LOL you left out prying the damn thing off the block politely so as not to bend the rails (too) much. I had to work in a stainless full tang 2" paint scrapper blade all around before mine let go, and that was after the screw driver prying lip/rubber mallet to pan combo to see if it'd "pop"...

Interesting point about the block cracking. What kind of conditions would cause cracking?

Crush washers changed. With the key to ON, I jumpered the Fuel Pump at the CHK Conn. Box, waited 5 min walking around the car trying to hear the pump over ambient noise lol No leaks. Got my Headlight Relay back I lent out for testing purposes. Installed and tested my own Supra. Seems my...

Fuel leak prevents engine success: As I cranked the engine, I heard this hissing from under the popped hood. Turns out a couple crush washers at the Fuel Pressure Regulator on the fuel Rail need to be replaced. Also, I suspect the brown wire from the TEMS connector from Post 73 is needed to...

The head light motor assembly is time consuming with awkward placement of bolts and wrench space. Check the motor is getting power/is grounded well before dismantling. The RTR fuse powers Integration Relay 2 aka Retract relay. This Relay also shares a wire with Integration Relay 1 (something to...

I don't buy that the cam cover leak can make its way against gravity into the CPS case past the cover and its seal. The CPS casing also has a bleeder hole at the bottom to let out oil build up which prevents flooding the unit. Is there a burnt heavy oil deposit around #1 exhaust runner? Its not...

Rebuild it yourself. The retaining pin on the shaft now is metal, the one in the kit is not. I've not heard bad things about the material change, only success. http://kbox.ca/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/47/products_id/252?osCsid=12758339d6817a94e44615a10656b5b6 ^^ Kbox supplies a new...

Cant be more than 50lbs with rubber mounted, by the looks of it. 18s right? They are hot!! But I'm not one to copy you ;)
