mmph...yeah. i don't know where to begin though, truthfully. You mean go about testing for clogs in system? I can hear water rushing through the heater core (not BHG...just filled, still working on the bubbles)...so that's not clogged AFAIK.

She runs! Reset ECU by pulling EFI fuse (pretty sure that's the ticket) and re-timed it once warm. My new pulley seems to run nicely on-center and I can tell from memory the old one was WAY out of whack for a long time. I didn't know enough nor had I given it much thought then, but that damn...

Makes sense...I haven't looked at one before so I didn't know how they adjust, if at all. It seems like a fairly common problem...i've seen at least 3 cases in my brief searches here on SM. the key in my crank was NOT A TOYOTA KEY. :: angry :: I forgot to mention that. it's not even close to...

lol...YEAH but...spec is also a press fit, and I achieved that with a piece of aluminum can. WHICH, by the way, was a V8 juice can! Hahaha. I thought it was fitting for the job! So IJ did you say that an impact wrench could have been part of the cause of my problems? NINJA...going to buy...

I might get this one; http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=808 The guy I asked if I could borrow his said he doesn't have one that will do it, but said I could use an impact wrench. I remember you saying something close to; that's a stupid idea... Oh and is going...

GRAAAHHH!!! my torque wrench doesn't go past 150ft/lbs. :cry: Sooooo has anyone made an extension for their wrench for this? The instructions for my wrench mention doing so; putting an extension between the wrench and the bolt to multiply the torque at the bolt... Sounds kinda...

Thanks...I guess I'll look for a new Climate Control head unit then...:icon_mad: Kinda wanted a 89+ one anyway, the buttons are nicer.:icon_razz that is...assuming the plugs and harness wiring is the same.

You didn't put the black plate (no. 2 timing belt cover in TSRM) that goes behind the timing gears back on? uhmmm....why? I guess your engine would be fine without it for a while, but I'd suggest putting it back when you pull the timing belt and everything to change your oil seals. I...

It's already done damage IJ. The crank snout has been worn or morphed smaller, I have to shim it to get a tight fit, my best idea so far is a section of aluminum can. (I know...wow.:icon_mad: Aluminum can.:nono: It's all I can do though.) The bolt looks pretty good I think, it's the crank...

IJ and Jetjock - so you're saying the head unit in the console with all the buttons, I will end up needing to replace that to get ANY heat soon? I haven't driven her in a while but I think I was getting mild heat, and pretty decent heat at 85, but its definitely not normal anymore. Plus the...

I don't know what lobe you were looking at, but yes...as long as the cam gears are installed correctly, you must line the tic marks up with the notches on the face just above the gears, more or less 12-o'clock. You don't look at the cam lobes themselves.

I'll see what I can do with both suggestions. I do turn to 85 for more heat, dunno if it works for warmth now otherwise. Honestly, if my car f'ing runs smoothly within the week...I'll be happy.

Ah well earlier I was asking about the lower timing pulley, but same goes for both I think. I did notice there was some extra room in there, thanks. I will be SURE to tighten it down to 195. I just discovered that my crankshaft bolt wobbles a bit like possibly the threads are damaged. I...

Thank you so much Ian! savin me lotsa worry about getting in a bind. literally.

Since the topic is similar, my heater seems to be getting less effective, it will blow warm but then start blowing slightly cooler air when set around 70 degrees, and I remember it being at least warm at that temp. I don't think it's my imagination but I have no idea how the heat is...

Did you put a jumper wire in the computer connection panel thing like you're supposed to while checking timing? Make sure all your plug wires are in and in the correct order? I'm confused by your cam description, do they not match up and point in the same direction? you say the cam is "TDC"...

Yeah the oil punp seal is pre-lubed with red grease. I got the key mose of the way in for the timing pulley but the end closer to the engine is sticking up a little bit and I can't tap it in any further. Since the pulley slips almost all the way over the key by hand, could I just tap the...

I will either do that or use some grease. Either sounds good though, so I'll probably grab the assembly lube since I have such a huge tube of it. Thanks for the suggestion, I even looked at the tube and didn't even think of using it! :)

Thank you Ian. :) Much appreciated. My power was out yesterday right after I posted this...very aggravating to know there's probably help waiting but not have the means to do anything about it. All I could do was remove my water pump, and wait. lol.

Holy crap that car was a LOT nicer than I thought....very sad. Awesome that his dad was not there though!!
