Thats not yours...

 

good news......but i guess you are gonna have to read it later LUMPY....i got all that crap back on....

 

we'll start off with this pic again



and this pic




neither one by themselves really make any sense.....and i could stare at all the pictures trying to imagine how it all goes together, so i just went down and started messing with it.

1st i mocked-up this



then i took it off and started messing with the GOLD brace....actually it's a good thing i painted it a different color, it really helped figure stuff out....so i recommend doing that.



bolts just below the driver's side of the water pump.....way out of reach....



and sits like this



and then THIS happened



and then THIS....I argued with the WOODRUFF KEY for a bit until it finally saw things my way and let me get the pulley on

 

nice to see more progress!

 

thanks man..........feels good to get somewhere finally

 

if you need any picture refferences of how the stuff goes back together, you know where to find them I've got TONS! lol

 

yeh...on that note, you saw what happened when i rearranged my photobucket.....not cool.

hahahahha



and putting belts on

 

Good progress today, keep it up for tomorrow & you might be able to wrap this thing up. What all is left?

 

and then i remembered that i never painted the adjusting pulley for the power steering and so, since i was out of all the good paint, i sanded it down and painted it GOLD too.

actually, I'm kinda taking a liking to the GOLD....hehehehehe



and an overview



belts are snugged up as i think they should be, but i am expecting they may need some adjusting after it's running

 

now for those of you following, these are all the belts I ordered from TOYOTA

 

tomorrow's plan is to do the exhaust...i remember hooking onto the downpipe will probably be a PITA since taking it apart was one.

then it's on to the INTAKE side.......wooooohoooo

 

Looking great!!!

The exhaust won't be too bad...but what I'd do is the head first. I may have missed something but if I recall correctly you still need to torque that head down. I'd do that before the manifolds.

 

head was torqued to spec that day......

itching to do the exhaust right now.......but it will wait until tomorrow when i can use daylight in addition to my work light.
