935 will fix your harness also... so in theory they could make you a whole new harness with all new wires and connectors. but your gonna pay for that.
a new OEM one is always a nice fresh start, and you KNOW its not gonna have 'mystery' splices all through it...
make sure your vacuum lines are ran correctly, your EGR is messsed up. did you clean it out when you rebuilt the engine? and did you clean the passages in the intake manifold??
the lex afm and 550's will give you high HC... but it shouldnt give you high NOx... either EGR or your cat is...
doing it by yourself isnt that hard... just be patient. i've pulled a DSM tranny by myself 4 or 5 times... haha...
and why wouldnt you drain the transmission fluid BEFORE you pull the engine and trans???? honestly.... drain all of the fluids. oil, coolant, trans... and make sure you get the...
i should go make a poll on what stem seals people used... haha
so i have...
1 vote for felpro
1 vote for OEM
i should just go buy one stem seal from toyota and compare it to the fel pro and the ones i remove from my head.
hmm.... makes me wonder why the cometic ones are only $11... LOL
i'll make some calls tomorrow and see whats going on, but im gonna do a leak down test before i buy anything, because if my rings are leaking, then im not going to bother buying all these fancy tools for nothing!
edit...
i'll call up champion tomorrow and my local dealer to see how much its going to be...
and VERY nice write-up... my spark plugs look very similar to his... =[
but where did he get those tools? i would serisouly buy them just so i could have them for doing other peoples cars and what not...
champion toyota is where i called... i just remember it being VERY reasonable for a whole new harness. and i was considering it... but i pulled mine all out and tore it apart and everything was fine, so i said screw that.
he said not a lot... no idea on the color as it was night (just a few hours ago)... im going to have somebody make a video tomorrow of what my car does, because im sick of not knowing what color it is...
and do you have any idea why it would do a little puff? because thats how my dad made it...
if i can ever get aaron to either call me, pm me, or respond to my thread i made in the DM section... i might get it torn down... but its also a pain in the ass finding a leak down tester. but i guess my friend knows somebody who has one... and there doing his car tomorrow, so i might do my car...
yes i used staggered spacing.
basically the same as thenewred posted up... only i put the one oil ring at the 'front' and one at the rear so there 180 offset...
my compressor is a 32gallon 150psi... and i just leave it on 24/7.... haha.
NOBODY in my lame ass town had a leak down...
and it doesnt help with people buy the obx SHIT, and then put in quality replacement parts...
my friend bought an obx external wastegate, and then bought a tial diaphram and another piece... wtf?
or just get some heatwrap from driftmotion for like $27 each, wrap the headers and the intake and you should notice some VERY nice drops in the engine bay temp
hmm... well im pretty sure i have about 500miles on the motor now...
i did up to 4k and let it go do down 2k... and then back up to 4k... and repeat...
and im not easy on the motor now, but im also a little scared... because i dont want to keep driving it super hard just to keep 'ruining'...
i took a chance... and it may have screwed me over. but would wd-40 honestly stop my rings from seating?... i put in straight 30wt though for break-in.
im gonna do a leak town test and see what it says. and couldnt i just turn the engine over a few times like im doing a compression test to...
sorry... forgot to talk about assembly.
and i assembled it. its not my first motor... so its not like i was a total n00b at this... the only thing that was new to me was the cutting the piston rings. which wasnt that hard once you get the hang of it with the filer.
redline lube on the...
i'll give you a few different scenarios that have happend to me...
(last tuesday) for smog, i show up, and i leave the car running, it idles for about 30mines (temp never changes or anything like that, it just runs perfect. he pulls it onto the rollers and starts to center the car and its...
everything was done according to the probe piston thread doward.
.0032 piston to bore clearance (as per the thread)
.016 top ring
.018 mid ring
oil rings didnt need any gapping (they were already at .013)
i told the machinist all about the honeing i wanted him to do, and the 30 degree...
