What did you do to your supra today? Pics

[Dan_Gyoba]

Well, it's the threads in the crank, but the worst thing is for the pulley. Since it's a dampner, it has rubber parts in it, which the torch isn't good for at all. If you're replacing it... Probably doesn't matter, but still, it's a bad idea.

To get the pulley bolt off of my 7M, I needed my breaker bar and a 7' fence post as a snipe. I needed someone else to keep the stand from tipping over as I bounced my weight on the end of the fence post. I almost gave up on the bolt coming loose at that, but it finally did.

I am afraid if I try to use a breaker bar and a long pole that it will snap the bolts holding the motor on the engine stand because it bends so much it scares me lol. I am thinking about stacking something under the motor to support it.

 

[Dan_Gyoba]

I had 4 grade 8 bolts holding it on place. Yeah it bends, but it comes back when the pressure is off.

I rented 3/4 drive impact. Had the bolt out in 2 seconds.

The only way I would ever try a breaker bar is if the engine was in the car. No WAY I would trust an engine stand with that much weight

Weight shouldn't be the problem.

My engine stand says 2 ton, which is 4,000 lbs.

Weight of a 7M-GTE is about 300 lbs. (Probably under 250 dry.) Add in another 220 for me, and some change for the fencepost, and the total weight is a bit over an eighth of what the stand should take. Me bouncing on the fencepost probably adds another 3-400 lbs worth of force, still under the quarter mark

The torque on it... Well, that's another matter, but there was no other way that bolt was coming off. I used a 600 ft-lb impact wrench and the only effects that it had was to crush the pipe that I used to keep the crank from turning and make my hands really sore.

For the record, loc-tite on the crank pulley bolt is a REALLY bad idea.

I wanna say the impact I used was 800 ft. Lbs. A 2x4 was used to stop the crank from rotating and it didn't split or anything.

220 pounds over 7 ft makes over 1500 ft lbs of torque. That's what I would really be worried about on the engine stand lol. But that should loosen that bolt easy... Are these cars coming out of spending their entire life on salt???

I used my old 7M head bolts to mount the motor on the stand, fits perfectly. My engine stand is rated for 1,500 lbs. Was the impact you rented a cordless or an air impact? I don't have an air compressor, obviously.


Well with all of that aside tonight on the way home my fucking water pump started leaking badly. Should I get any water pump from the auto parts store or wait it out for like an OEM pump or Gates from Rockauto?

 

[BrandonW]

one without a cast impeller piece
I believe the bosch and the aisin are stamped (oem is aisin think you can even get the wp from the dealer for less then the one listed on rockauto?? lol)

rockauto has it for $24 before your 5% off

 

[Doat]

Yea I plan on ordering the Gates from Rockauto, $23.79 and the Felpro gasket. What 5% off? Anyone have any promo codes I can use so I can get faster shipping? I looked up the part number and found that the pump online OEM costs a little over $100 and judging from my experience with stuff like this and price matching if I got the pump from my local dealer it would cost $200 lol.

Thanks, I am not sure but I rather not take the risk and the Felpro gasket is less than 2 bucks on Rockauto vs over 3 bucks at the auto parts store, so no big deal if I don't need it. I am also ordering a new fan clutch, 160F fail safe thermostat, and a timing belt I can't find the pulley though.

Numba1stuna, you still haven't looked for those AC fans have you? lol

Doat, you are always doing stuff to your car.... I'm sorry to inform you but you are now a real supra owner. You haven't quit by now meaning that sadly you prob never will.... Sigh.... Good thing is, you are not alone. Many others struggle and suffer with the same thing. I'm with you friend.

 

[Doat]

Hahahahah it took a water pump to crap out on me to become a real supra owner? What about fixing my BHG myself and the little problems that came with that? When I barely made it to advance auto parts I was looking around for the leak and thought it was my lower radiator hose but after I filled up the radiator, well almost full, I saw it leaking from the pump and was like FUUUUUUUU. The guys that were closing the store said it's a very nice car but sucks about the water pump lol. It was nice of them to ask me if I needed anything else before they closed up.

 

[Numba1Stuna]

Lol, Doat I did but the ones I have are in a little rough shape :-\ I'll have to text you a pic this weekend.
