    Rod knock... i guess...

    Do not reuse a head gasket. Cometic MHG's are not so picky and considered by many other car guys to be the best, but there not a huge name in the supra community.

    How to remove tps connector?

    The rubber boot that is protecting the end of the connecter simply pulls off. Be gentle thought cuz it might be brittle.

    Tire question.

    If you go to tires.com they have a tire size calculator on there. You type in the stock size and then the desired size and it will tell you the diffrence in size. Try to keep it the same height. Your speedo will only be off if the rears are not the same height.

    Tire question.

    245/45/18 seems a bit tall. You want to try and stay with the stock height. Which would put you around 245/35/18.

    Odd Lifter Noise??

    Mine did the same thing and this was also the problem. The cam's and caps where all chewed up. Only made a hollow noise no other problems. Everyone kept saying it was rod knock but it was to high in the motor for that.
