Another thing you might consider is getting one from outside the US like Australia. I bought what I thought was a leather steering wheel on eBay, but when it arrived it turned out to be rubberized plastic. Just as well, because it won't deteriorate like leather, and it looks fine. Think I spent...

I had the same problem and narrowed it down to the 3 plastic supports that hold the bottom of the hatch glass. They penetrate the metal and overtime leak. Here's a link to another website, where I discuss the problem, and a solution. I also leave some paper towel in there to catch any stray...

Going from 9.1 to 10.5 would net you about 3 hp starting from 200. Compression ratio horsepower calculator. You really don't want to take anything off the head or block more than is necessary to avoid timing or sealing issues. As it is the 7M is a non-interference engine. You might get a few...

Flow depends on how fast the water pump is turning. If you're having cooling issues, look at the front of the radiator for road dirt, leaves, etc. that may have been sucked up there blocking proper airflow. Also, when the car is cool, take off the radiator cap and look to see if the cores are...

I'm in the old-school green concentrate antifreeze camp. I have an aftermarket CFS copper brass radiator. Napa makes a green concentrate that's made for cars before 1995. I mix it 50-50 with Walmart distilled water. 1 gallon of concentrate mixed with 1 gallon of distilled water will do the job...

You can reuse your old fasteners or use ARP versions in all positions. The torque specification doesn't change for connecting rod or main caps. That video you saw sounds misleading. One problem I did have with the ARP main cap stud nuts was that the oil sump pickup tube was hitting one of them...

If no one on the form wants them, take them to any auto parts store. They will find a parts rebuilder and put them back into the pipeline. That might be where yours came from, if they are rebuilt. Hopefully your calipers came with the copper washers you'll need in front. You shouldn't reuse...

I went to O'Reillys and looked at the hose. Turns out it's flexible enough to work. About 1 3/4" needs to be cut off of the end that has the small bend in it. It's made in China, so time will tell how long it lasts. It appears there is an inner and outer rubber tube of different type of rubber...

Which end did you end up cutting? I see there is a 30° and a 90° bend. I'm going to stop by O'Reillys to see how it compares to the original hose.

Have you installed this on the vehicle and what was your results? I've been toying with this idea too of finding a donor oil resistant hose to cut out a replacement for the 7M-GTE power steering reservoir to pump hose. The angle of the original hose is 65°. The worry I have about an adapted...

I went the Energy Suspension bushing route. They are stiffer, and transmit more road noise, until I got a set of Toyo Versado Noir tires; which helped greatly. I had to cut out 2 of the front and one of the rear cam adjusting bolts that were rusted to the bushings. The heritage program was...

51441-14140 is for a MKIV. Listed price was $197 at Toyota parts deal web site.

Here is the procedure from the online manual. Click here to go there. You're going to need a timing light and a small jumper wire for the diagnostic block to set basic timing. When the jumper wire is inserted correctly, the engine trouble light blinks rapidly. This is also a way to read codes...

Did you have the front aluminum cover on the block when you had the head shaved? There will be a step between the two if that was done resulting in head gasket issues.

I'm just posting a blurb for those that want to rebuild their own pump. I rebuilt mine 7 years ago and its still not leaking. You can get a rebuild kit on eBay for about $20, or less at RockAuro delivered. Edelmann 8828 PUMP SEAL KIT. It's mainly O-rings and a front seal. The method to follow...

I had this problem when I first purchased my '87 Supra In 1996. What can happen is on the back of the drivers key lock is the electric actuator for the alarm system. A crescent shaped sliding copper contact becomes detached from a plastic rivet that holds it in place. I repaired mine by removing...

My 2nd OEM harness is in pretty good shape except for the plastic tunnel that goes over the cam covers. The last time I changed the valve cover gaskets, I made a repair using glass wool dipped in Permatex Black Ultra Silicone for the bottom portion.

Just a word of caution. If you ever remove the starter, be careful not to snap off the knock sensor plastic that protrudes from the metal base. I've done this and from now on I use a U joint socket adapter to give me some flexibility in avoiding repeating this mistake. The other option would...

I have mended my splash pan so many times. The front 3 clips snapped off so I used pop rivets and the standard card slot covers from the back of a computer and some Prematex Ultra Black silicone. The next thing was some of the other holes started to enlarge so I used brass flag type grommets of...
