that's right.
and alot of gaskets if you order the head gasket kit....he has everything you need and then some.

This can be true if you put the truck in high gear(manaul trans) But if the bolt was was kinda easy to get off and relatively loose thats not good lol. That bolt needs to be tourqed down alot, I never tourqe em i just run them down with an impact and tey will be fine. But the 22r's tourqe for them is a lil over a 100 foot lbs i believe. You leave that bolt kinda loose you will beat up that key and spin that pulley on the crank and have a bad day.

yea the torque is about 130ft/lbs and i looked in my Haynes and it says, 5th gear 4Low and park brake on

92 TOY

torque is 116.

i have an automatic, so there was no putting it in gear for me. my trick worked for me, that's all i can say....bolt DEFINITELY was not loose before or now.

oregon_yota

would it be a good idea to replace the bolt?

92 TOY

absolutely.

ordered mine from LC Engineering http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGe...C-9BDEFE32754A

Kiroshu

Nah crank bolts are pretty stout and are hardly ever replaced

Kiroshu

unless you rounded the head off ofcourse...

92 TOY

like i did.

that's why it's important to use a 6 point impact socket, 1/2'' drive...broke some sockets and ratchet wrenches before i figured that out. was lucky to get it out.

Kiroshu

hehe... indeed 6 point being the #1 choice for socket to bolt removal. The bolt should not be that much even though its a specialty bolt... i've never had to buy one before soo... I imagine it would be no more than 20 bucks

92 TOY

click the link....$9.95...for my "freshening up" I ordered some of the odd stuff. crankshaft bolt, oil siphon gasket where it meets the block, oil pan washer(cuz I wanted to), and that long stupid allen bolt for through the lower intake...and an LCE sticker...all for about $14 to my door (I think), definitely less than $20.

KIROSHU read my bolt removal thread...I'm proud of myself.

Kiroshu

Hehe good news.

92 TOY

Yes, it was a victory for me, that and figuring out how to drop the pan (see the thread in my SIG)

Kiroshu

If your talking about your oil pan removal you did a good job.

Kiroshu

I had to do that once too and it was dreadful indeed...

92 TOY

I'm psyched i found an easier way....well easier than taking all that other stuff apart....we'll see if it works out or if it's a fail....

oregon_yota

well i got the timing chain kit from engnbldr, in about fours days too!

im starting my repair tomorrow so wish me luck haha

Kiroshu

Good luck make sure you line everything up properly and don't forget about the "hidden" bolt under the Distrubutor drive gear for the t-cover. If you have done one on other cars you should know what to do relatively. Just like the other cars set it to TDC before taking it all apart and pull the Distrbutor straight out don't move it one bit. Lay it somewhere you know it won't get moved or touched ( that way you can just slide it back in there without any issue) and MARK IT before you pull it. Remeber Sprocket dots and bright chain links positons. Cam 12 o'clock/ Crank 6 o'clock

oregon_yota

ok im down to the crank pulley bolt...roadblock...i need a 22mm socket to fit this and i've always heard its a 19

oregon_yota

i dont know what the deal is with the two bolt heads. i was told it was a single 19 with an oversized flange
