The magnet is to fish the stem of the valve out of the spark plug hole, after we fish the line we put in through the guide out, so we can super glue the line to the top of the stem, and pull the stem back through the guide.

Never seen the bolts yet, but if it's true, I stand corrected.

I got one of those, and I'm using it tomorrow.

It's OK bunky, don't feel bad, it'll get better. Oh, and get a little salve for those sore nuts.:biglaugh:

Hey Dumbo, I going to Raynham, MA, not Cincinnati, OH. I mean, I'd be happy to help the guy if I could, but he's a little too far away for me.

If they're ARP's, you need a 14mm 12 point shallow socket.

It's only taking this long, because a demonstration had to be set up, and we could only get together on Saturday to do it.

Less than 24 hours, naysayers.

Pardon my misnomer!

What about just welding the t-3 flange directly on the stock manifold flange. I mean, cut away any parts of the stock flange that might interfere, and then welding the flanges together. Then it would only change the turbo position about 1/2 an inch. Just an idea.

My first thought, since it's accelerator related, would be shift cable out of adjustment, but I don't claim to be an expert.

Damn, I hope it didn't get bent! If that's the case, you will have to take the head off.

scotty, This is from a google image search, all 1024 or bigger: http://www.google.com/images?q=mkiii+supra&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS275US275#start=0&imgsz=xga

Jeff, with the cams off, all the valves are closed. Think about what you're saying.

^ Let's see. A person decides to do his valve guide seals, and unfortunately makes a mistake, dropping a valve into the cylinder. He had no intention of doing a head gasket, or any major work, just the seals. In your world, there's only one option to fix it. A costly and time consuming option...

But he said, you needed to put it at TDC to be sure all the valves were closed. That's the point I was talking about.

IJ, since you take the cams off to do the valve guide seals, none of the valves would be open in the first place, unless, for some reason, you were doing it one cam at a time. Why you'd do that, IDK. Kotu, I've seen a post somewhere about using a piece of paper to put the keepers in, but I can't...

Don't get rid of it, you just need to modify that center brace a little bit. I fit a 24X18X4 unit in there, with a little modification.

Please carefully re-read each of my posts in this thread, because this is getting way out of hand. At no point did I recommend to the OP not to use a spring compressor. And an experienced mechanic should know enough about their talents and tools, to make their own decision.

It's OK with me, It's lewis' house though, he gotta give the OK.
