Because OP asked nicely, seems genuinely interested and also because I'm not an asshole, I'll answer instead. As per user gaboonviper: With the charcoal canister removed, the excessive pressure built up in the tank will cause the pump to cavitate. Low flow, premature wear on the pump, etc...

A cat is a restriction compared to a straight pipe. A 2" exhaust is also a restriction when compared to a 3" exhaust. This isn't opinion. I never said it was 'clean', try reading what I wrote. Sucks for you, deal with it.

Not like it matters much (IJ has a weeee bit more experience ;)) but +1 to what he's thinking, what you're going through is exactly why I have a spare engine getting built and I'm pulling the engine whenever I get to it. I had a basketball sized puddle of oil underneath the fan on the ground...

The cat is an expensive piece of crap that NYS doesn't bother with after 25 years, and it IS a restriction. The environment has been here for millions of years and thinking that us pesky little humans can obliterate the environment by running without a cat is the most egotistical thing I've ever...

I sent Devin a valve body from a different transmission and was planning on swapping it out with the one in my car...only a few hours of down time. I ended up having no overdrive :D Valve body was fine, it was just the wrong one. I sent him the other one and some more money, swapped THAT one in...

I need one for my block sometime this week/next week. Van's torque plate is being rented out at the moment and he's not sure of a return date. I've got the block/crank/rod and main bearings/tensioner/ARP main and rod hardware all ready to go...rods are at rabid chimp and I need to pull the...

Nice! Out of curiosity where'd you get that tripod mount?

Haven't fired it since, still have to talk with cousin about rod and gun club. I live in a suburban environment, no where for me just to go out shooting ;) It was after every round of the last ten rounds, some of which I fired and some of which my friend fired. Trigger is pulled, rifle went...

It was burning a hole in my pocket, I rack disiprine. Have to talk to my cousin about joining a local rod and gun club that he's part of so when I sight it in properly I can figure out wtf the bolt is doing...unless its stopped, because I gave it a thorough cleaning (again).

After owning the rifle for damn near a year I got to shoot it this morning...made buddies with a camp so might get some practice in occasionally! Fired ~40 rounds through it total between me and a few friends, I shot maybe 20 or 25. Milsurp stuff, I'm cleaning it now...dunno if its just me but...

There are two hooks on the engine for lifting it up, one on the alternator brace and the other kitty corner from it on cyl #6, exhaust side.

You're exactly right with your guess, the material and dimensions are not perfect throughout the entire length of the tube and therefore the true center of mass is not at the center of the shaft. As an MET student I was kind of pissed to learn that you can't just make a circular hole and call it...

I haven't been able to find a part # or replacement for the oxygen connector. One thing I was going to try was buying a sumitomo 3 pin connector, de-pinning the stock one and using the one I buy. Problem is, the O2 pins are different than the standard 090 pins so I'm not sure how it will fit...

Jelly belly's.

Wonder if I can pick up a felpro for 20 bucks or something ;)

I have my old Toyota OEM headgaskets in the garage, I'll use them then. Thanks! Van's torque plate JUST got borrowed, gotta wait until its returned ;) That's fine anyways as I'm waiting on a few things to get shipped.

I was going to let the rest of the posts in this thread go, but I can't bite my tongue any more. Toyota didn't choose a two piece because it is superior to a one piece, they did it because that's what they've always done prior to that. There is no reason to introduce a one piece driveshaft to a...

Run wood, what? No. Where the shock/spring goes is where you'll put a 4x4 vertically from the lower control arm to the shock mount. Place tire on, torque down, roll onto flat bed.
