    Do different bearing companies matter when choosing rods/mains?

    Let me further expand, how many clevite sizes are there? Standard and oversized. Toyota has 5 standard, and 5 over sized. Able to get much better clearances with that. If you have Dirt, Grit, or lack of oil pressure, it goes back to operater error, a properly running engine will have had all...

    Do different bearing companies matter when choosing rods/mains?

    To me, the Clevites are simply a crutch, for lazy people. I prefer Toyota bearings. The reason people use the super "strong" bearings, i.e. Clevite 77's is that they are unable to put a quality tune to their vehicle, or they over stretch the fuel injectors ability, and detonate. And Detonation...

    eBay oil pumps

    Aisin makes both Toyota Oil pumps and waterpumps. Most dealers buy both OEM pumps and Aisin "aftermarket" pumps. If you come in and buy over the counter you get the OEM pump, have it installed, and they install the Aisin and full OEM price. Unless its me, because I won't take that part and...

    how much should i ask for my motor

    The Chrome moly rings equal bad in a yoter block. They don't like to seat correctly. If it is all stock internals, $1500 shipped is a fair deal, considering to fully built engines just sold at $2,000

    Defective fan clutch?

    You don't introduce it to the fan shroud, just the fan. Part of being a good technician is knowing how to quickly, and safely diagnose common problems. Again the hose technique is not one I would tell everyone to do, because you can quickly screw something up if you do it wrong. And so you...

    Defective fan clutch?

    I know this is a old post, but I wanted to say that most of you guys are a hair off on Toyota techs. Using a flexible hose is a accepted way of testing a fan clutch, its all in how you use it. If you shove it in, you'll screw up some stuff, do it right, and you get a effective test. BTW, I am...
