Yes Scott we made it through. The supra was safe in the garage at home. I was at work and the Lexus stayed parked inside the bay with the ambulance and fire truck all day. I don't want a repeat of last year when I lost my beloved SC300 to hail.
When I have the time I'll remove the accordian...
I bought a new Toyota cap from the dealership for $17.00 last week. The had to order it but I got it the next day.
On the other hand, my old 91 turbo had the same symptoms you're having. I thought it was the cap. It wasn't...
Do a leakdown test. That's how I discovered it wasn't the cap...
Well an update. I took the car on a couple hundred mile road trip to my buddy's deer lease and it did really well. I'm not having any of the issues as before, however, I swear I can still smell some coolant after driving it. I did a leak down test again yesterday and after pumping it up to...

Good luck! I'll be following this.

I tried Sears but they didn't have an individual one to sell and I wasn't going to buy an entire set for one socket.
I ended up getting one at the NAPA down the road from me and it worked just fine.
So I did the retorque. Several of the nuts were easier to break loose than I think they...
I'm trying to do a retorque and something simple is a problem. Finding an auto parts store that has a deep socket 12 pt 14mm so I can get on those arp studs. I'm hoping once I can locate that I can get the retorque done. Crossing my fingers that solves the problem. Also ordered a new OEM...
I'm having some significant coolant issues and I'm beginning to fear headgasket issues. One radiator cap will not let the system pressurize and sucks the reservoir bottle dry and I can smell coolant. The other cap will let the system pressurize and I smell no coolant....but...it's causes my...
Scott I'm pretty certain that there are some terminals that need to be jumped in order to set the timing right.
As for the job, congrats and give it a shot. It might not be so bad.
